If you were to opt for buying a used stainless steel colander (and just sterilize it by washing it with bleach) you'll probably find that the price is so low that you'll regret having wasted time trying to fix your old plastic one.
The colander isn't very old and I thought if there was a cheap and easy solution, I would use it. I hate throwing things away - especially, if they aren't very old.

I think I will buy a new stainless steel replacement - it seems they only cost around £3-4 from the likes of Argos or Tesco.

Would be useful to know the name/type of that strong automotive epoxy - willshack?

Thanks for all the replies - didn't expect quite so many!
