I "fixed" a broken pannier once by plastic welding the bits with a soldering iron then filled the scuffs etc with plastic flexible filler and sprayed it with plastic dashboard paint, came up really good but make sure the surface is scotchbrited well so the spray paint sticks to it. Worked for me but my panniers were fecked so had nothing to lose.
Only using a shrink wrap type sheet mate, you can buy it on the bay, fits well, just need to use a heat gun to apply it, can be a bit fiddly but worth a go.
Nice one chaps , I did think about painting them but it's just the one box , and wasn't sure how well paint would take and long term chips and scrapes in painted plastic , will look into the heat shrink Wes . I'm in the garage at the mo with T cut , autosol , super resin polish and feckin' TOOTHPASTE !
