Your description is a little vague...it seems like you're describing a two section telescopic rod. Can you take a picture and show the damaged area? Are there any cracks at either section of the rod? Joint damages are often difficult to fix and leaves the joint weakened even after fixing.

You definitely need to let a rod builder check the rod if this is a treasured rod, the cost of repair can only be determined by the nature and state of damage or what needs to be replaced. Normal rod repairs that recovers a rod's usability are typically guides replacement or rod cropping. A simple repair job such as stripping a middle rod guide will cost you at least 8 dollars for workmanship alone and this varies among tackle shops.

Gluing back a rod joint doesn't sound like a sturdy repair. 0.o Still, we or the rod repairman need to see exactly where the damage is.

Post a picture of it.

For gluing back things, I've used 2 part epoxy glue from hardware shops, but there are several types.
