Plastic pond with hole almost at top.

Just acquired a moulded plastic pond. It has a sort of inner lip at the top for marginal/bog plants. Although we can live with it, there is a tiny hole at the top of ridge which ideally I'd like to repair, although it is so near the top, it makes very little difference. In a perfect world I would like to be able to put a waterproof patch on it. Is it possible to buy something like a puncture repair kit please.

We are standing the pond on slab bed area rather than burying in ground, and placing pots round it.

    Some of the moulded ponds need support when filled with water. They buckle and collapse if not properly supported.

    To repair a hole.
    Fibreglass repair kit from any car accessory shop?

    Get a few samples of rubber/butyl pond liner and stick them on with gold seal. That works when wet. Better if dry but fish and plant safe. Stick a patch on the inside and outside for good measure.
