Downstairs Bathroom - Sewage smell

[Redsman13]

Hello,

We have had a bad sewage smell coming from the downstairs toilet for the last few years. We had a new suite put in back in 2019 which didn't resolve the issue. The smell seems to be coming from the sink side of the room. I have removed the sink unit now and can see that the waste pipe just seems to fit in a hole in the ground. The pipe in the ground also seems to be damaged. Is this likely to be the cause of the issue (potential stagnant water not draining properly into the main drain)?

Thanks in advance

It won’t be stagnant water, it’ll be sewer gasses emanating from the gap around the pipe. It’s a bit rough. You’d probably need to expose the drain a little more to ascertain how to connect it up, or do the job properly.

Thanks buddy, it was done by a plumber originally (clearly not a very good one).
