Might have been if the screw had been put in from below.
Repairing a plastic hot water tank

It might have been through the main electric cable as well, but it was not.
It certainly was close to a corner. Too close to use washers.
I found an epoxy resin based paste at B&Q for a fiver. Job done it set solid in an hour and loads left over.

Is that some new fetish of the 'watersports' variety?

First of all that is dissing the poor plumber, secondly the mind fairly boggles.
Have you ever done that? You can own up, it's OK.
Matt, you are clearly barking mad.
Rather you than me. I would have replaced the tank - they're not that expensive.
If it's just the hole left by the screw and it's almost closing up again I'd just squirt a some stixall (or sticks like sh*t) in (it sticks to wet surfaces) and spread it round a bit on the inside to make a blob.
