Drilled through a water pipe

[AngelaBrady]

Hi all,
I decided to renovate the kitchen this lockdown, it was going quite well until I wanted to put up the suspension rail for the base cabinets and accidentally drilled through a water pipe. I have shut off the water in the house and I have dug around it a little and can see that its not a full hole just a dent in a copper pipe but water still leaked out.
I had some milliput from when I did the sink plumbing so I have temporarily stuck that on, but what next? Is there a permanent solution, I don't want to pay for a plumber unless I absolutely have to.
Please advise.
thanks

Why don't you want to call a plumber, do you want to flood your kitchen??

Post some pictures.

I think the "I don't want to pay" part covered that

UPDATE*** Solution found.
You need 3 things :
Soldering Flex Paste
Flowflex repair patch
Gas burner mini blow torch.

takes 20-30 min.

Take a video when turning the water back on, you might earn £250.

Make sure the pipe is fully drained before trying to solder. Any water left in the pipe will stop it getting up to temperature and the solder won’t fuse.
