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?


I don't know whether it would work on your water butt, but I repaired
a split in a neighbour's preformed plastic pond with a fibreglass
repair kit used for car bodywork. The split was below the waterline
(although not when I repaired it), so the repair seemed to be
waterproof and watertight.
