Its done and fixed @Izzy78 

Great work.. 

Consider spray painting those shiny new  hose clamps with galvanised zinc spray paint or use any paint to slow corrosion  down or stop it  so you wont have to revisit this  repair into the near future 5 to 6 years.

These answers are so complicated (in store too busy to help.properly)..I found an answer on a US site...little plugs. Back to the big green shed tomorrow!

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Coulinjo. It's great to have you join us and wonderful to see you jump into the discussion.

You might like to post some images of the damage to your pipe so our helpful members can provide some suggestions for repairing it. Let me know if you need a hand posting an image.

It sounds like you might be mentioning these irrigation repair plugs. They are designed to fill the circular holes left when removing sprayers from poly pipe, so you'd have limited luck trying to use them on general punctures. @Izzy78's pipe is also PVC and not a poly pipe, so these plugs won't work on it.  

If they look like they'd work on your hole, I'd certainly encourage you to give them a go. If it's a tiny puncture, then you might like to open the hole up with a punch spanner as it will create the appropriate-sized hole to accept the plug.

Please let us know how you go and if you have any questions.
