Hi folks,
Wondered if anyone here could offer any suggestions. My parents are having their driveway re-done with block paving. They got some guys in to do the job and when they were using the concrete breaker on the original path they also broke an underground drainage pipe which serves the house guttering drain pipe one end. Rather than let them do a bodge repair before they lay the paving down I'd like some advice.
There is a picture of the damage here:

beyond breaking it right up to the original connections either end is there any way of fixing it in-situ? I ask this because the whole thing has been set in loads of concrete and trying to remove it looks like being a task,in fact just trying to get a clean cutting point either end is hard because as you try to chip away the outer concrete the drain gets chipped or broken. I was thinking of placing a plastic sleeving within the pipe to repair it and then sealing it with some fibre glass system. What do you think?
