I just installed a base for a replacement shower and connected the drain to the existing ABS pipe stub coming up from the trap with a cemented coupling. There's a tiny leak from the bottom of this coupling. There's precious little room available on the stub for cutting out the coupling and cementing-in a new one.
Is it effective to cement a curved piece of pipe to the stub and bottom edge of the coupling in an effort to plug the leak? I would do this by cutting a ring, say 3/8" wide, from the end of a pipe, cutting the ring in half, and cementing one of the semi-circles to the stub and bottom edge of the coupling.
Are there repair fittings, such as a fitting that would clamp over the leaking coupling?
