I have a crack of about 4 inches in the small red tank at the back of my combi boiler. This has resulted in dripping water.
The plumber (somewhat unsurprisingly) said the whole thing needs replacing.
Is it possible to repair the crack, at least to stop it dripping for a few months? The house is for sale so I don't really want to fork out £800 for a new one unless absolutely necessary.
I have some epoxy resin which I have tried to repair but not sure how well this bonds to the crack.
Any advice on what to use / whether epoxy will work at all.
The red tank is really hard to get to, so I have to partly do it blindly.
thanks in advance
Robert
