[Closed] I'm in the poo... How to fix a cracked toilet bowl?

My fine son, 4 years old, and his partner in crime, brother 2.5yrs, took it upon themselves to fill our toilet bowl with rocks. Well, actually lovely riverstones from the garden. Predictable results, the bowl is now cracked below the water line, wet floor follows.
Question is, can this be repaired? Fancy epoxy with blu loo camoflage was my idea, but shall I give up and buy a new poo machine for the landlord?

I doubt any fix would be permenant, and TBH fitting a new bog will probably be just as quick.....

You are John Prescott, and I claim my £5.

🙂

new porcelain time, and as PP says, a piece of piss*, and not really that expensive. eBay is a good source of mistakenly purchased units.

*ya see what I did there? 🙂

Turn off the water supply?
Ask B&Q man which sealant/sealant gun (if you do) you need?
Cant be hard can it?!

Could be worse, you could do what my friend did in her rented bungalow and reverse a Land Rover into the house, pushing the water pipe through the wall with the spare tyre and shoving the toilet cistern off it's mountings, shattering it on the floor and leaving bright blue water over the entire bathroom.

New one on the insurance.
Just replaces our high level cistern after one of the kids mates swung on the chain...

Replace or someone will end up on the floor (if lucky) having had the bowl fail mid session. 😆

replace Del' just riding along line to your landlord with 'I'd been out for curry and guiness last night and it just gave way - unfit for purpose'

get a new toilet bowl and you will have peace of mind

for more peace of mind replace all rocks in garden with plastic rocks should your little partners in crime decide to rebuild their stone statue

and put sign up "This bowl is for pooing into and not to be filled with rocks" next the said toilet bowl.....then again can they read ? : )

On the going whilst having a dump front, that is seriously not funny. I'm in the bogs and loos business (and no before you ask), and the industry is full of tales of people doing themselves a wrong un when the bowl finally gives way. There is no repairing it, it is ****ed get it replaced.
