Installing bathroom sink basin waste, drain pipe now too short to connect

FAILSAFE 00 · 2018-04-18 02:20:12

Hi guys, I removed an old rusted basin waste and trap from a bathroom sink to replace them. Both the new trap and new basin look a fraction smaller than their predecessors, a few mm each which is leading to the gap between the trap and the drain. Can anyone recommend something to bridge the gap? Something I could pick up…

Something I could pick up in Woodies, B & Q, etc.

Thanks.

Foe Woodies, easiest would be a 32mm flex coupling and small tub of pipe weld glue. Cut a section from the existing pipe, splice in flexi connection and a small length of the pipe you cut to connect to the trap. 12€ should get you out.
