Cracked plastic waste.

[veedee]

My combi drill fell and hit a waste pipe which now has a hole in it

Is this an easy fix and how do i fix it?

Fibreglass it!

As it's a small hole, cut out a suitable patch from a piece of waste pipe of similar diameter and glue it on using solvent cement.

I’d say so, it’s called big boy, so Andy probably endorses it

Yes, that would fix it. I would then paint the pipes black as I would think they would look better.

Sun degrades pipes so I stick to branded quality pipe and better to paint them for added protection.

Take a look at plastic condition. Might be rumbling. Had them disintegrate with the hand

Can you not replace the whole part?

Doable, but the existing is solvent weld, so a lot of upheaval for a small repair job.

As always, thanks for the help and advice lads.. You are brilliant!
