I'm hoping someone can help me. My parents passed away and left my brother and I their house. The house is in need of many repairs, it's probably over 35 years old or more. It is a townhouse and the shower drain leaked through the ceiling. The drywall underneath was removed and we could see a gasket that was pushed out at the bottom of the shower drain body to seal it at the pipe above the trap area. (sorry if i'm using wrong terminology, i'm not that familiar with plumbing). The problem i'm running into is that the shower drain body appears to be one piece. It looks to possibly be something that came integrated with the shower pan. I would like to fix the leak correctly. I'm not certain if i need to cut out the drain body that is there now to replace with a new one. Or if I can get proper gaskets to reseal this one. There was what looked like old and brittle plumbers putty right as the drain cover was removed, beneath that was a metallic type "donut" that went in between the pipe and inside of the drain body and under that was a brownish/black gasket that had failed. If someone could look at the pics and point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. The bathroom hasn't been used in over a year. Sorry it is pretty dirty at the moment.
