For anyone who has a burst pipe, go get some Sharkbite fittings, some pex tubing, a pipe cutter, a cheap pex tool and a file and there's a good chance you can fix the problem yourself.
You might want to treat the result as a temporary repair but it's not difficult. DM me and I'll walk you through it.

What are you talking about? Sharkbite fittings work with copper and pex. They're a great way to transition from one to the other.
Pex isn't PVC.

Most of my house is copper but one section is pex and the transition was done with Sharkbites almost 10 years ago. It's still fine.
