Strong sealant for shower waste

[miketurner201]

Can anyone recommend a good strong sealant that will also glue a shower waste to underneath the shower tray. I need to temporarily fix the waste that has dropped. All screw fixings are broken and I cannot get access underneath. Will have the shower ripped out early next year.

Stixall.

If it were me I’d put a new one, not expensive. You say no access, but it must be possible.

At least need to get some support under trap.

Upstairs/downstairs?

concrete or suspended floor?

I'm gobsmacked!!!!

Someone else gets these sorts of problems.
I thought it was only me....

Real temporary fix.
Drill holes in the shower base rim and screw through into the flange with plenty of silicone.
Don't over tighten the screws or they will strip in the plastic.

CT1 the rep says it will stick when wet

Yeah there’s loads of them now, CT1 is what the employed boys use - us self employed know it’s too expensive for what it is!

Why did you do that?

I hate it when you get to a basin with tons of gunk, it’s not necessary - especially one with bolts.

Just a couple of small blobs of silicone behind it if you must and then a nice bead to the wall is more than adequate.

Not tons of gung, just two lines of plumbers.
