I'm doing a minor bathroom update, new paint and new sink/toilet/fixtures. But I've run into a problem installing the new sink. The abs p-trap comes too far out of the wall to line up with the drain tail. I've been reading the old threads and I see the flexible tail isn't a good idea I also can't modify the trap and plumbing since its all glued abs and part of the trap assembly is in the wall. I didn't do it like this but I'm stuck with it since the walls are tiled (and the tile is discontinued) plus there's no access from the other side. The offset isn't much about 1/2 an inch, so I'm wondering is there anything I can do about this?
I don't have a camera so here is a rough diagram to try and explain my situation better. The proper screw on drain tail connector is present on the drain glued to the top of the elbow. I realise the drain is a mess, but I didn't do it, and it does function correctly and water stays in the trap. I'm just trying to figure out a way I can work with this since taking out the wall would mean taking out the tiles on 3 other walls too. I can't move the sink forward since it's a ped and the top needs to attach to the wall. So I'm left with some not so great options and I don't have the experience here to make it work.
