Each pan of the waffle maker is made by pouring molten metal into a mold, then applying many layers of a non-stick coating.  Repairing a break in this location is not reasonable.

Waffle-makers in working condition are often available cheaply at charity shops, because many people get them as wedding gifts, use them once or twice, and then never think of them again. If you want waffles -- and waffles are definitely a food worth cooking at home -- it's time to buy one.
