How to fix a broken sewer pipe cover?

I hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

 

I had a plumber out yesterday who needed to do a jet blast of the pipes as I had issues with the toilet / gurgling / shower not draining.

He was looking for a specific pipe outside my house to use which I didn’t have so he removed the toilet and went through there.

Unfortunately with a pipe outside, he ripped off the base / cover and now there’s a hole …

He tried to put tape over it but obviously it wouldn’t stick and now has suggested a 100ml PVC cap. Will this cause a trip hazard? What he removed was flat with the floor.

the cracked cement / rocks was also a result of him. 

Amy other suggestions would be helpful.

Thank you.

Re: pipe covers

Morning @Newgreenthumb 

No stupid questions, I can remember asking the plumber teh same one years ago :smile:

Id remove that concrete? mix from the top, then you may get a better view and see if there are screws or something else. The lid could also be glued to the pipe (tho probaraly shouldnt as its an inspection port) The plug type lid may go down longer then your fingers can reach.
