since you think urethane cannot be plastic welded, i suggest looking up URETHANE SUPPLY channel on youtube. they sell the supplies and show the amount of work these jobs take, using plastic welder in addition to other things.
thats what i suggest you do

I'm not "fucking" wrong, Urethane Supply sells the plastic welding rod for urethane which creates more of a mechanical bond. Urethane Supply is no magical answer- you can do the same thing with urethane adhesive (cold bond vs hot bond). Don't believe me? I know you don't. Take a soldering iron and try and heat up the plastic- you will see it will burn. When they weld urethane, they are creating more of a mechanical bond with their welding rod. You really can only "plastic weld" (meaning, using the existing plastic to re-heat and re-bond) hard plastic.
Mishkin_707: You can repair this yourself if you have the patience, it isn't that hard. Buy some tubes of this urethane bond from Selleys: it works very well:
