Re: Washer Bottle
Washer bottles are a pain to repair as the material is slightly greasy. Either weld up with a soldering iron or I've used both bath sealant or araldite before. TBH best bet is to get a new 'un.

Re: Washer Bottle
Like Jim, I have used a soldering iron to good effect, but of course a replacement is best
