Walking past my water butt today, I noticed a wet patch on the ground,
and a jet of water coming from the bottom of the water butt. Closer
investigation shows that there is a crack close to, but separate from
the drain valve. Is this likely to be fixable (it is made of an unknown
type of plastic), or is it RIP water butt ?

It can be welded using a heat gun and filler rod, You can also weld with
a soldering iron with the correct tip.
