Hi, I have a white pvc pipe that goes from inside the house to the outside gutter. The pipe is concealed in the house and goes to a downstairs shower. The issue, as I hope the photo shows, is that the pipe has broken near the outside wall. I can't take the concealed pipe out.
Can you give me some tips on how I can replace or join a new pipe?
Should I just glue a smaller diameter pipe to the inside wall pipe and attach the sheared one - is that the best option?

Don't re-use the sheared-off section. It will all have become brittle due to exposure to sunlight. The replacement should be specified a suitable for exterior use. Black plastic lasts better than white plastic.

Good point, I was going to use the same pipe. Will buy new suitable for outside along with some PVC glue and elbow. Thanks
