Leaky wet pipe Fillers, sealants and adhesives for all types of DIY work. Help, advice and information on all aspects of this subject

Hi - Please can you give me any advice. There is a drippy leak in my outside toilet - clean water. I can't turn the water off as it is in the road and I want to see if I can cure it first.

Is there anything on the market that I can buy to cure the leak? of course the pipe is wet with the drip so it would need to be a strong sealant. Thanks

Need to know where the leak is coming from. Pipe going in or pipes coming out ?

The pipe carries clean water from outside going into the sistern Thanks

This should ne a nut on the end of the copper pipe which turns onto a metal or plastic thread to connect to the cistern. Turn the water off, undo the nut, if there is a washer in there, replace it and wrap some PTFE tape around the thread. See the project on copper compression joints to find out about PTFE tape.
