The cistern on our 30 year old close-coupled WC cistern is cracked at
the corner of one side and the font and leaking. This will undoubtedly
mean a new WC but I am wondering if I can make a temporary repair to get
us over the next two weeks.

I have successfully "tanked" a cistern, using fibreglass
matting and resin. Get some matting (you can use car
repair kits, but it's cheaper to but matting/resin), and

Snip - sounds easier, quicker and almost as cheap to buy another cistern!
