KidKruger Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 If you?ve exterior mastic type product, that?ll give you a temp fix.Just apply it when dry and with a dry day after for it to dry out.

malumbu Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Fibreglass will do it - get some from Halfords - you can use a tin with acivator or be more sophisticated and use the mesh.https://www.halfords.com/motoring/paints-and-body-repair/fillers-and-preparation/davids-isopon-p40-kit-250ml-194746.htmlYou wont get a pretty repair.

Spartacus Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 You could try pipe repair tape but always best to tie it in with a wire tie after sticking it on to give a stronger seal Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/293179-help-to-fix-split-in-pipework/#findComment-1534501 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidKruger Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Best fix is just to cut the drain pipe and make it back up with a short length and a replacement spout.

jazzer Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Not clear why it's spilt and not a place where you'd expect it to split either. If you can remove the lower two brackets, replace the final piece of pipe with a new one from one of the local DIY stores or All Type roofing on the Lane, they may have an odd piece knocking around the yard (sort of opposite Rose the butcher) Or if that fails you could always try one of the local handy(wo)man Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/293179-help-to-fix-split-in-pipework/#findComment-1534726 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had not noticed it until I moved them a few weeks after work had ended. Sealed it with Fernox LS-X Still a tiny drip after a few applications. Will see if it clears up after a couple more layers of Resin..
