Drilled into the concrete floor of the wet room to install waste and hit a 10mm grey cold water plastic pipe coming from the kitchen to the sink of the wet room. I have no idea the manufacturer of the pipe.

What is the best way to repair this pipe/hole please ?

I could not find a pipe repair kit for 10mm only do one for 15 & 22

I was going to purchase a JG speedfit straight connector such as this one

and 2 pipe inserts as below

Will this do the job ? are these the right bits ? do I need the inserts ? If you could advice the right bits if not. Any special steps to carry this out ?

Many Thanks in Advance

Any ideas ? can i use any inserts ? as it says on web only to use pipe manufacturer inserts ? when can i get inserts for this pipe or should any inserts be ok ?
 
You will need considerable lengths of pipe exposed in order to get a plastic coupler onto the pipe.

Because of the way they grip the pipe its not possible to use them as a slip coupler.

An easier solution that I would use is a brass 10mm compression coupler modified to be a slip coupler. That would need no more than about 70mm either side of the damaged pipe.

A bodge alternative would be a 15 mm slip coupler with reducing insert to 10mm.
