Yes it was a while ago. I'm sure back in the old days we used to repair such
pipes at least temporarily with car body repair kits then paint them the
same colour as the pipe!

I'm in a similar position, two front drainpipes in need of TLC but the
local
tradesmen just want to rip them all out and replace with plastic
