Default water butt leak

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?




Hi
repaired a similar leak 8 years ago with 2 patches stuck on with araldite.
Still going strong, but then I know nowt about physics.
