Fix hole in Garden Waste Wheelie BIn.

[JD2012]

Can anyone suggest a filler to fix a hole in the bottom of a Garden Waste Wheelie BIn?

Someone was burning old documents and put the ashes in it some where still hot though even after 24 hrs.

I tried the Tetrion All Purpose Ready Mixed Filler 600g from Amazon but the weather has changed to cold and damp and it has not set.

I would need something thats water proof I think as it sits in a damp bay that does not get sun.

Any Suggestions? Thanks

You could glue some perspex over the hole. Using some like Stixall as an adhesive.

Its a sort of line not a regular hole though the picture makes it look much bigger due to the anount of filler I had to use. Where would I get Waterproof Perspex and the Glue thanks?

Perspex is waterproof. You only need a small bit, but I would recommend that you order a bit larger than the hole (ebay it). MS polymers such as Stixall are like decorating caulks, they will cure over wet surfaces and accommodate large gaps. You will however need a caulking gun to apply them.

edit..... not a criticism... but the filler you used is not appropriate for the task .

Would it matter that its not quite level due to the heat warping?

Is this a council one that you pay per year for --- tell them its damaged and get them to send a new one.

Yes it is, I thought of that but I am worried that they would charge me for a new one lol.

I dont think they will. I think you leave it out and they will come along with a new one and just swap it.

Drop a sheet of plastic cut to base size inside secured with CT1.

They might...
But they don't charge if the bin has disappeared...

Round here, you're allowed a free replacement if it goes missing, I'm not sure free replacement includes if it was damaged by the homeowner, in which case I'd wheel it down the road and say it's gone walkabout!

A flat-tipped soldering iron and a rod of thermoplastic.

I used plasplugs to weld up cracks in mine

Wait till bin day after they have being emptied, you will have a whole road to pick a new one.

Our council charges and they know when you last had a new one!

I would drop a perspex/plastic patch onto the inside and fix in place with one of the new polymers.

Some councils charge, others don't
