The only way I thought of doing it relatively easily was to remove all the gubbins and solder a patch over the hole left in the underside of the boiler. Silver solder of course, as soft solder would probably melt from the meths/gas flame.

That is unless you want to go to the effort of machining a 'tophat' to go over the pipe.
