Really high humidity in WC

[JP_]

How would a new pipe develop a hole? It's right on the bend underneath damaged by plumber?

I can stop the water with my finger, but taping hasn't worked, has slowed it a bit Any emergency repair i can do from b&q while i wait for plumber?

Depends when the plumber will arrive!

If its just water (non central heating), turn it off, drain and wait.

If you can't wait and the plumber will be days, 2 speedfit joins and an elbow, a pipe cutter and a length of copper pipe should cost £25 quid from screwfix/b&q etc.

People argue about pushfit in inaccessible places. Most new houses are all plastic pipes.

If you decide that's a permanent fix - then splash out on some pipe clips as well and secure it tight.

The stuff around the pipes across the floor up to the wall.
