Hi Ya i have managed to crack the lid on my storage box but unsure what to use to repair it and make it water tight again.
The split is a semi circle and about the size of a hand.
Thanks

Silicone? Flexible car body repair stuff like Plastic Pading?

ThanksDoes it move much when you open the lid - is it noticeably weakened? If yes, then you may need a proper solid repair using, say, fibreglass body filler - the stuff used to fill holes on car bodies. It has chopped strand glass fibre in it, so sets hard and strong.If it moves only a small amount, you may get away with a nice bead of StixAll.In either case, you fix it from the underneath, and start by thoroughly abrading the surface to make sure it's clean and well 'keyed'.For the StixAll, force it into the crack itself, wiping off excess from the outside, and then add a good thick bead all down the crack, smoothing it off firmly against the surrounding surface to seal and bond it. It sets like rubber, tough and durable.

I though about fibre glass but wasn't certain it would flex when and if the cracked moved when i opened the lid.

WOW just WOW
I emailed Keter Consumer Service UK last night to see if i could purchase a lid for my old 2021 box
"Unfortunately they do not sell parts; we only provide replacements for products under warranty once a dated receipt/invoice is provided."
They asked me to provide photos of the damage and the part number for the lid and even gave me the assembly instructions with the part numbers attached to their rep[y and said if in stock they will send one out as a good will gesture.
Guess who's getting a new lid FOC
Now that's what i call fantastic Customer service.

That is superb customer service, and I seem to recall somebody else having a similar experience with them some years ago. Good customer service ain't dead yet.2
