Cast iron

If it's not too much trouble post pics of the actual part where we can see the damage.

Cast iron can be hard to deal with. Some welder guys say you can't weld it but I think you can weld or braze or something.

JB weld might be the solution depending on how it broke. If a long straight section cracked then you can put another piece of iron or steel on the back where it is not visible and then the JB weld is not dealing with a weak butt joint but rather a long lap joint.

Is this something that people walk on? If so what is underneath? Pictures help with that too.

Details details details.

is there a school where you learn how to do this?

is it a subreddit? a tumblr page?

It looks complicated yet simple at the same time. I might try it on a low-traffic thread, maybe early in the morning.

Do it like i do on /diy/, find the shittiest thread on page 10 and bump it back to the front

Steel. In a drain. No.

Are these bell traps (that need to stay filled with water to keep the stink out)? I found some at Ace Hardware for my 1940s vintage house. I recall they were under $20.

Also you can braze cast iron, or maybe you can find a local shop that will do it for not much money. There are blacksmiths around my area who could do this for you.

Nothings free, though.
