I had to do a bit of flashing to a conservatory roof recently, and never having done any before I was a bit dubious.
I went down the local Focus DIY store to have a look around, and found that they sell a roll of bitumen-based tape about 4-5in wide (I think it's bitumen anyway).
Very gooey stuff - wear disposable gloves. You basically mould this stuff into the area where it has to be installed and it forms a nice watertight barrier. No need for mastic, leastways for the job that I was doing.
I would think in your case you could apply a section of this tape over the holey bit and job done (unless it is visible, in which case you might need to do a bit more farting about to make it look pretty).
Costs about £7 for a several metre roll as I remember.
