Mend Water Small Bottom

How can I fix a leak in my plastic water butt?

Have a plastic water butt used to water plants in garden. Just recently have noticed it has a small crack on bottom edge - near tap. As there's most pressure here it is leaking quite a bit. Am reluctant to just throw it away if it can be repaired for not too great a cost.

Clean and lightly sand the split seam then use a hot glue gun dribble on some hot glue. If you can do inside and out. Water butts are usually made of polypropelene and hot glue bonds really well.

obtain a piece of plastic that you can melt with a soldering iron,and simply weld it with the melted plastic.
As meerkat says,Simple!!

click on screwfix direct and look up tank connectors and fittings ,you should be able to blank it off and refit tap close by
