I personally used  Selleys epoxy putty,and some plastic model paint. Not a concours type fix but cheap and easy.

It's called Knead It and you can buy it in all hardware stores.Once you've kneaded it you can mould it into any shape and it dries rock hard. Downside, you only have a few minutes to do the job as it sets fairly quick.Use plenty of water,and the first sign of a f@#k up pull it off and start again.
