Plastic Padding Leak Fix is the one usually found available. Halfords,
and any DIY source.

It's an epoxy putty. Sold as a bar that you cut a bit off, knead plaster
into place. It sets in
10-15 minutes. Also sold in pre-cut chunks.

You can get it in B&Q and other DIY sheds. Our local hardware shop sells
it. Some sticks are copper coloured to match copper pipe. Others are light
blue, terracotta or brown.

OK... Seems I already have some of that stuff. I thought the stuff I saw
advertised was different in as much as you could apply to a dripping
joint. Didn't take a lot of notice to the Ad as I never had a problem
till now.
Thanks
