Vanity basin waste extension??

[DIYMum]

Hi all

I'm doing a cosmetic makeover of my ensuite and going to replace the vanity top that has a built in sink to a merbau laminated panel with a basin that sits on top. My problem is that the waste pipe will be too short by about 200mm. Probably a dumb question, but can I buy an extender or something similar, or do I need to replace the entire waste pipe with a longer one?

Thanks!

Can you send a photo of your current plumbing please @DIYMum ?

Sorry, should have included with my post!

Many thanks for the photo @DIYMum.

Let me tag @ProjectPete as well as @redracer01 and @JDE to see if they can assist. 

@MitchellMc will also be happy to help when he is back on the site on Friday. 

Thanks again,

Jason

I'm sure I've seen extension kits at Bunnings but if they don't have, just buy a few of these threaded couplings and connect them together to get the desired length. Does that make sense?

 The alternative would be cutting pipe and extending with a coupling/sleeve but this is extra worth/complexity and not necessary.

Hope this helps @DIYMum

Thanks @ProjectPete! I'll pop down to my local Bunnings tomorrow and head straight for Aisle 54 😊 Is it sad that I know that's the plumbing aisle?? 😂😂

Definitely not sad, I'm the same for my 2 local Bunnings stores. But now I'm getting the biggest one in Australia as my local so will need to learn the new layout 😀
