Skint and kettle's just broke !! How can I repair it??

Hi, can anyone advise on this at all??
I have a Russell Hobbs kettle which sits on a separate base. The button you press to start the boiling process just won't stay down at all, I have to stand there with my finger on it until the kettle boils.
Is there any way of fixing this at all, has anyone encountered this problem before?
Really can't afford to fork out for a new one at the moment.
Would rather make do and mend if possible.
Thanks

and sit there for 3/4/5 days till auction ends hoping it stays at 99p , all the while gagging for a cup of char!

Just as I do when we have a power cut.

You could always have iced tea, then you wouldn't need a kettle.Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
