Features & benefits
Bostik Max Repair Tape is an exceptionally strong, versatile, waterproof repair tape, also referred to as a 'duct tape' or 'gaffer tape', for indoor and outdoor use. Available in three colours – black, grey, and clear – this extra strong tape offers high-performance for fixing and repairing any surface or material.
Designed with maximum bond strength, this ultra strong duct tape delivers unmatched adhesion on a wide range of materials including wood, metal, stone, plastic, rubber, leather, and more, making it perfect for even the most demanding repairs.
Formulated to minimise odour, the tape is perfect for indoor use without discomfort, whilst also being designed to endure harsh outdoor conditions. This exterior repair tape is resistant to UV rays, humidity, frost, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring that your repair withstands the test of time in any climate.
Plus, it’s waterproof to provide a durable seal for leaks and cracks, making it ideal for emergency repairs. The clever formula of the no residue duct tape also makes it ideal for both temporary and permanent fixes.
With our black and grey version of Max Repair Tape, these rolls are easily torn without the need for scissors, allowing for quick application. Our clear, waterproof duct tape requires cutting with scissors and offers a more discreet and seamless finish.
Bostik Max Repair Tape is not just another duct tape - it's your comprehensive repair solution. Easily repair leaking hoses, seal cracked plastics, fix and reinforce stone, wood, or metal surfaces, hold items together, manage cables, or even use in craft projects!

- Apply to the area being repaired and press firmly and evenly for 30 seconds to remove air bubbles and achieve the best adhesion.

FAQs
Is leak seal tape a permanent fix?
Leak seal tapes aren't typically permanent fixes, however, it depends on the tape, surface and type of damage. Some repair tapes are designed for long-lasting, heavy-duty repairs rather than simply providing a temporary patch. Bostik Max Repair Tape is designed to provide a long-lasting repair, with full adhesive performance reached after around 24 hours.
Is there waterproof clear tape?
Yes. Bostik Max Repair Tape Clear is both transparent and waterproof, so it’s useful when you want a water-resistant repair without an obvious patch. It can be used indoors and outdoors and resists UV, humidity, frost and changing temperatures.
What is repair tape used for?
Repair tape is a versatile choice for everyday fixes around the home. You can use it to repair and seal cracks, join broken or torn pieces and bundle objects together. Bostik Universal Repair Tape provides good adhesion, wear resistance and water resistance, and works on materials including plastic, metal, rubber, wood, leather and stone. It’s designed for indoor use. There is also Bostik Max Repair Tape which is a waterproof repair tape.
What tape can repair a water leak?
For a small leak or puncture, look for a strong waterproof repair tape that’s suitable for the material you’re fixing. Bostik Max Repair Tape is waterproof, resistant to immersion and designed to seal broken or punctured surfaces indoors and outdoors.
What type of tape is most water resistant?
For areas exposed to water, choose a tape specifically rated as waterproof and resistant to immersion, rather than simply water resistant. Bostik Max Repair Tape offers both and can be used indoors or outdoors on a wide range of materials.
Will duct tape hold if it gets wet?
Duct tape will only hold its bond in the wet, depending on the type of duct tape you are using. Not every duct or repair tape is waterproof, so check the product before using it somewhere exposed to water. For wet environments, choose a tape specifically described as waterproof and suitable for the surface you’re repairing such as Bostik Max Repair Tape.
