You have to determine how long the crack is and then cut out the bad section allowing for that which you can not see (hairline cracks). You will probably need the correct size pipe and connectors (couplings S x S) and PVC cement and PVC primer, a fine saw for cutting the pipe. Dry fit everything making sure the new section of pipe is of the correct length. There is a small situation in which you need the flexibility in the old Plumbing to be able to attach the new section. You just have to think it thru.

How do you repair PVC pipe?
Normally you cut out the bad section and use couplings with primer and glue to complete the connection. If it is underground and you do not know where the problem lies a pipe inspection will show you where the problem is.Depending on the severity of the condition of the PVC pipe infrastructure, traditional dig and replace will allow you to cut out the bad section.If the problem is major or the pipe lies in a highly sensitive area such as under expensive structures, streets, or heavily wooded areas you may want to consider a trenchless repair option also known as CIPP. This allows you to replace any pipe without digging.
