    I assume your plumbing is PVC or CPVC. Repair of "plastic" plumbing is relatively easy and inexpensive. Cut of about 6" of pipe on each side of the damaged elbow. Buy 2 couplings and 1- 90 ell and short piece of pipe and install it in place of the removed pipe. Use glue designed for the type of plastic pipe you will be using.

    If it is a Butelyne pipe ( gray flexible " of pipe on each side of the damaged elbow. Buy 2 couplings and 1- 90 ell and short piece of pipe and install it in place of the removed pipe. Use glue designed for the type of plastic pipe you will be using.

    If it is a Butelyne pipe ( gray flexible " ) than you have to find a store that sells Butelyne pipe and fittings. Basically, repair is the same as with PVC pipe - only you use special compression fittings to make new connections.

    If you cannot do it yourself than any handyman should be able to handle this repair.

    Hope that helps. Milo
