Question

Fix leak pipe in shower?

Answer 1

need more information. Is it a drain pipe or a water pipe? If it's a water pipe you're better off getting a plumber unless you know where your houses main water valve is to shut it off. If it's a drain pipe, that's a little easier. Take out the section that is leaky or take a picture of it down to your local hardware store. They can get you what you need. Usually just some new PVC pipe will do the trick and it isn't that expensive. They can also give you tips on how to install it. You may need a hand held saw to trim the pipe for your exact fitting.
