Default Is it worth Repairing ?

Hi all i have managed to get a pair of wychwood breathable waders for £50
but as i got them from flea bay i gave them the bath test ran a bath full of water put them on sat down and was looking and feeling for leaks and
I found one in the right neoprene sock its not on the seam but looks like a stab hole could be the chap i got them for was a bit gutted they went so cheap seeing how they were stated as new but did not fit him and on top of this he only stated £1.25 p&p but long story short i have the chance to send them back get a refund via Paypal the norm but my chances of getting a good pair of waders for this price i would say is slim can anyone tell me can a hole in the neoprene be fixed or should i just send them back bite the bullet and get a new pair? just trying to save some money as the wifes not impressed as i sold everything last year and im trying to get everything back again not just tackle but all tying bits and bobs and the bank balance is taking a thumping

The neoprene can be fixed with a touch of Aquasure or Diverdave, on here, can replace it.

Just used Diver Dave last month for a pair of Scierra breathables that were going at the seams and covered in small punctures. He re-tested them 3 times to get all the leaks and the repaired item is as good as new. Top quality job (he did have them a few weeks - but that was because of the number of repairs required and I'll be using him again).

Never heard a bad report about Diver Dave. A fantastic service.
