    I think you should take that problem up with the builder before for you close. The toilet needs to be replaced, but not at your expense after you move in.

    I agree with Tickle, builders problem. As far as I know there is no acceptable method of repairing a cracked toilet. Even if the leak is stopped, there is both a sanitation and appearance problem.
