I have one of these surge-protected 6-socket extension leads
with a 2 metre cable, but this is not long enough.
I looked inside, but the cable is clamped rather than
attached to screw-in terminals.

What is the best way of attaching another cable?

Any advice or suggestions gratefully received.

I am after a waterproof (immersible) version of this.
Any ideas?

(It is needed to join a pump cable inside a large water fountain)

I have seen the ones designed for SWA cable, where you pour resin into
them - Could I just use this? (The cable looks like 1mm flex)

cut the wiers off inside leaving tails, and joint the wires with
screwblocks, solder, crimps etc.

Easier to buy a new 6 way tho, theyre very cheap. Unless youer running
on a small generator the surge function is a waste of time.

Not the same shape, but similar principle:
B&Q have submersible connectors - about £8 I think.

How about buying a single gang extension lead of the requird length and
plugging the six way into that?

How about:

It's IP68 which means submersible for long periods under pressure AIUI
