I have "welded" many polyethylene parts using a common electric soldering
pencil, anywhere from 25 to 125 Watts, and scrap polyethylene from any
source. With a little practice, you could do it yourself. Melt, but do not
burn, the plastic. Welding kits are also available from Harbor Freight for
$30-$40 with "torch" and rods. Not necessarily saying you should, but if you
are looking to have something else done anyway, you might want to try it
first.

An experienced repair person can "weld" a polythene stick into a
cracked polythene tank to mend it.
You (and I) probably can't.
