Repairing Ceramic gully drain

[DIY67]

My mum has ceramic gully that sits in a rubber/plastic pipe. The fit is tight so no sealant. It has been cracked for a while and obviously leaking. It is broken in 3 pieces but as you can see it can be put together with no holes (the pic looks like a large hole but it's a bit of paper) The water underneath is because of the rainfall we are having currently. I have removed all the soil and put stones to hold together for now. Also the plumber botched the plastic outflow pipes hence the stone to stop it falling off the joint where it comes out the brickwork

Can this be mended with say some of that 2 part putty like Sylglas that sets like stone and is waterproof ?

buy a new (plastic) gulley.

I can't see from your pic if there is a Trap.

You need to repoint the wall where long-tern leakage has washed out the mortar.

The diameter of the ceramic base that fits into the pipe below is 13cm and the plastic ones are all 110mm http://www.screwfix.com/p/floplast-rec-hopper/90316

When you say a trap, what do you mean ?

Ok, I see. I think it is a trap as the water always stays the same level

Thanks, it's hard to know which size to get as the base of the pottery gully is 5" but I don't know the exact width of the pipe it fits into. Will have to double check.

Would this be suitable for the replacement gully ?

It's a Hepsleve gulley top - from a builders merchant - just pull old one up and push new one in, with a bit of fairy liquid round the end

Are you referring to this one to slot in it's place with fairy liquid ? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110mm-Und...QgPhRlhG~&clk_rvr_id=1215442458495&rmvSB=true

That will fit better as they are compatable.

Fair enough catlad, I thought they weren't. haven't done one.

To make the plastic one fit properly would would need to change the plastic collar from clay-clay to a clay-plastic.

Easiest would be a direct replacement with another clay one. As Nige say, lubricate the tip and it will slide straight in --->O

Nige maybe its my eyes, I thought it was clay into plastic.
OP why not remove the broken clay and measure the hole if its plastic
you should be able to fit a new plastic one.

Thanks Ian, that will do the job I think. I found that there was a rubber connector to seal the two pieces of clay together which were both exactly the same width. So as you say I need the adapter to join them (the image shows the new plastic grid which of course is too small to fit the rubber seal.

I appreciate all advice here thanks.
