Huge thanks to everyone that weighed in on my issue, I owe you all a beer!

It's some kind of plastic, but I can't tell the specific plastic type. Someone else suggested epoxy to me, I already added some silicone. I might add a layer of epoxy as a belt and suspenders approach.

From what I saw, I think you're right that it shouldn't be glued, but who knows what the plumbing guys had in mind. Talking to the other owners of the building, it seems like plumbing was a common weak point amongst the units.

I haven't been able to figure what that was. I must be an adhesive of some kind. It is completely hard, but there's a big drip so it must've been liquid at some point I imagine.

I looked at some installation videos for shower drain, and I understand what you mean with getting access to the tub under. Unfortunately, I think I'd have to tear down the whole shower to replace that piece.

I went with your recommendation of using shower-specific silicone. I can sleep more easily now. Thank you so much for the help!

 

Hello home improvement folks!

I hope it's ok to ask for help about my condo since it's not a house. It's my first property so I'm learning a lot.

This weekend I opened the showe drain to remove the accumulated after the shower became slow to drain. While cleaning the drain I noticed it was cracked. I thinking about putting some jb weld, flex seal or caulking as a temporary fix to stop the leak. I'm worried about leaking into my downstairs neighbors. I would like to replace this part of the drain, however I'm having a hard time finding information on the different types of shower drains. It seems like most drains are screwed-in, but the green stuff is making be think that mine might be glued. If anyone has some advice or resources I could look at I would be super grateful.

I used to use websites like these, but this year I've realized they're things I should probably learn to do in my terminal. Even better would better is to integrate them with my ide
