We have done splices and couplers wrapped in tape and mastic. Many fail after a certain amount of time so our new policy is a cut cable means a new cable run to somewhere so there's no buried splices. All splices must be above ground so there's never 24/7 moisture.
Be sure to bill the customer for their mistake. Every time we've tried to do a quick fix, it turns into the long, correct fix later down the road. So we stop doing quick fixes and only do the right thing at the time of the service call. It will cost less to do one visit instead of two and save you time, and the customer frustration with two visits. A typical cable cut when we have to replace cable and conduit is 2-3 hours and we bill about $300-400 depending on materials. Make it costly so they don't do it again.
