If you've re-potted in fresh compost there should be enough food in there for at least 4-6 weeks. Whatever's been munching the leaf is not helping, but I think you need to give the plant a chance to settle in first and see what the new leaves look like in about a week or so. The cool wet weather will slow them down. Are the top of the corms just above the surface of the compost? If not, then they'll rot.

Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
Keep them warm, sunny and not too wet if possible and hope the weather improves. They probably just need some time to settle. I wouldn't suggest feeding them with anything yet

Did they have fibrous roots when you repotted, I think vine weevils have burrowed into the corm, you may not even see them, they make tiny dents and curl up in there.

That compost is sodden, looks very heavy, and too wet for a plant that young. If it's in a pot, move it off to a dry area to stop it getting so wet. Also, they don't always need to be in the baking sun. In fact, when it's looking like this, it's best in semi-shade and soil needs to be far more lighter. The tubers may rot. Baking it will cause the top layer of soil to compact and create a crusty layer.

Yes they were put into fresh compost and yes the top of the corn is just above surface. Thank you. I hadn't noticed something had munched the leaf!
