question I also asked in diy group.....
other people have also had leaky Sankeys, anyone know how to fix them?
cheers


My Sankey water butt has developed a leak, a split on the base, even
though
it was standing on one of those clever expensive stands.

I tried mending it with that stuff they sell on QVC which mends leaks in
domestic plumbing, allegedly, but it didn't work. Does anyone have any
suggestions what to fix it with? Or how?


Rather interesting that. Was it fitting square and neat in the stand? The
reason I ask is because one of our butts is in a stand and it doesn't fit
'snug'. Should I sit it in a bed of sand in the stand to take out any
unevenness?

Mike
