You basically have legal rights that protect your right to clean sanitation thats a clean water supply and toilet.
If this is the only toilet in the house it would be classed as an urgent repair and action should be taken very quickly by the landlord.
Whats been actioned so far if anything and what have they said about the repair now?
Also is it the only toilet in the house?
In terms of the toilet itself if you get desperate over the weekend and the sealant dont work you could turn off the water supply on the stop tap usually behind the toilet and then use a bucket of water and throw this down the main pan after each use as this wont effect the top bit thats broken and wont cause any leaks

Thats what he said after over 4 hours of trying to find the valve to turn of the water ,then realising he had bought the wrong part so he had to run out and get another that didnt work he had to go back im just glad its all over.i had alot of mess to clean up after he cut through the wall paper removed skirting board in my sons room in the end the tank he bought the lid doesnt fit the whole toilet needs to be moved for it to fit sorry going on a bit.Anyway time for early start and as usual ds will be up soon thanks again
