Solvent Cement.. cheaper Alternatives?

[reoreborn85]

I'm sorry to sound tight here so please don't judge! lol

We have guttering outside of the house (PVC/Plastic) and the drain coming down has come off.

This part keeps the water from hitting the side of the wooden lean to and 'guides' the water away and into the drain.

I've just been looking at fixes and obv people are recommending something called Solvent cement. Sadly this is around £6-7 (More with the cost of the bus ride into screw fix)

I know £6-7 may sound like peanuts but I am currently out of fulltime work and a carer (I'm caring for my Mother in law and wife) so Money is VERY tight at the moment and won't get any better till at least early next year when I can get back to work.
Is there any cheaper alternative to fixing this drain pipe? Would superglue work for now (till next year?) I've seen some say it would just 'wash' off/weaken over a few days

I currently have THIS to help fix a leak in the leanto roof.
However, some people have said it's useless to 'adhere' vertical pipes and can make a mess and make the pipe unusable.

things i've tried:
Propping the drainpipe up
The wind just keeps knocking it down and away.

Before deciding on a solvent cement, find out what your guttering is made from and then find out if SC will actually work as a jointing substance.

I think it's PVC? It looks PVC and feels like it.. Is there any sure fire way to know?

Try using the adhesive you have, putting it on both surfaces, prop it for a few days and see how it goes, i have in the past used small screws to hold pipes in place, it works but ideally only a temp fix.

That's actually an excellent idea!!! I never thought of that thank you!


I'll pop the sealant around and put in a tiny screw or two then a bit more sealant. It's literally till about march or April next year.

Just use small screws just one normal required.
Back in mist's of time key terrain made brackets that were made to take a screw to stop this problem.
I've still got a few see pic.
