Leak in Honwave Air V-floor

Hi

I have a leak coming from a small hole on the underside of my Honwave Air V-floor.

Can anyone recommend a repairer in the North East region of England.

Thanks in advance

If this is a simple hole that will take a round patch in an accessible location it's a fairly easy DIY job using proper two part glue.... not the tube glue in the kit that comes with the Honwave.

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Hole is in an easily accessible area . I'll look on the internet and see if I can source a suitabl patch and 2 part adhesive.

Yes that looks easily doable.

Advice and products here...

Proper cleaning/prep and doing on a warm but not boiling day with low humidity are key.

Hi Fenlander

Thanks for the link in how to carry out the repair.

Weather isn't the best at the moment but I'm sure there will be some dry warm days ahead.

Pleased to say repair has now been done and 🤞🤞floor is now holding air.
Thank you Fenlander for your words of encouragement and guidance, I carried out the repair myself.

No problem... well done. Patches on SIBs while to be avoided obviously where possible are just badges of use.
