I have mysterious section of PVC pipe that handles waste water from a bath. Mysterious in the sense that it leaks, but very very rarely.

I've discovered that if you stand at a particular spot in the bath one of the pipes moves slightly within its connection to the next section of pipe, which can cause a few drops to leak out if you're doing a lot of moving in the bath.

What sort of sealant would be ideal for this? Silicone, epoxy, something else?

PVC solvent, it is designed for the job. You will get it in any hardware or places like Woodies/B&Q
