Glued PVC Trap Broken Below Slab - Repair Ideas?

[Zane Bridgers]

As you can see, I sadly broke off the P trap for a tub, and the plumbing is mostly below concrete. I can access most of the glue joint where the P-trap takes its down turn, but there's concrete flush up against the back of that joint.

Option 1: Separate the glue joint and add a new trap (if possible)

Option 2: Glue along break and reinforce with a sleeve

Option 3: Cut out the concrete to expose the trap arm, cut and re-glue trap

Other ideas? Please share!

If you could cut the cracked part flush with the top of the trap and put a transition coupling on it that should be the fasted and cheapest way to fix that.

You gotta break out more concrete and replace the trap.
