Outside drain cracked

[Beetroot2021]

Hi there! There's a crack in the outdoor drain and I wondered about repairing it. It's just above the water level so I don't think it's anything serious, but wondered if there was a patch repair I could do just to line it?

If it's not worth it then no problem, just thought I'd get some advice

Let me know guys!

If it were me I'd clean it best I could and squirt some exterior grade grab adhesive into the cracks and smooth it out.

This will at least stop weeds / roots growing through the cracks.

As it's above the water line it doesn't affect the ability of the drain/pipe to do it's job

Can be repaired with mortar or quick set cement - place a bag in the drain to stop anything falling in.

I think you should clean it first and then repair it. Even it is above the water level it doesn't looks so good for repairs. Still you can also repair with cement which also can be effective.

Then you can paint the whole thing so the repairs do not appear like repairs.
The old front step red should do it.
