 My opinions have run their course Member 694, 3112 posts | Lads, I have googled this and can't find an answer. I have a hole in the waste pipe from the bathroom sink, it is on the outside of the house. It is about 2 inches across and f**k knows how it got there. I can't wrap anything around the pipe as it is too near to the wall and is on a bend. Anyone know what product I need to buy to patch it up? replacing the pipe is a no go as it would mean proper work i.e. getting rid of cement or whatever where it is going into the house. thanks in advance | ||

 bookies have him 2nd for BSM Member 1176, 318 posts | How about fibreglass/car body filler, if you can get to the hole enough to put a bit of metal mesh over it for the filler to adhere to. | ||

Sorted! lol... when the sink is run it drips from the pipe and splashes up the kitchen window. i am in portsmouth right now, she has got a plumber going round later to have a look so hopefully he will sort it but I've only got two days over the weekend to get a myriad of s**t jobs done to keep her happy | ||

 Member 663, 312 posts SQ 252.5, BP 185, DL 265702.5 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | There is a rubber tape which can be wrapped around the waste pipe which will stick to itself, or a rubber patch with jubilee clips if its an old style copper waste pipe. plastic pipe can perish over time so might be better to get plumber in! | ||

 Scotbasher - forever Member 59, 2115 posts | So let's see if I'm understanding this, your partner rings a plumber and explains that you're away and she has a 2inch hole in her waterworks that needs filling and he comes round and sorts it for a tenner with no call out charge?? | ||
