Can someone give me some reasonable fix for this old piece of shit toilet that some retarded plumber fit a tiny jagged PVC flush pipe between.

The connecting pipe doesn't remotely occlude the outlet and water pours everywhere when flushing. I thought there would be some standard rubber seal but can't seem to find any.

Honestly i just need the toilet to flush for a week before i change the bathroom out but i tried chatgpt and it had me take the fucking toilet apart looking for the doughnut seal stating resolutely the issue wouldn't be with a loose pipe.

At the end it conceded it was the loose pipe

Just get a new toilet - what's the point in putting effort into some rotted pissed in junk you'll chuck soon.

Bin it in a week? No fitting seal? Fill it with cheap silicone. Self galvanizing Tape could help too.

Where did you buy the cistern? Normally they come with a thingy (like a lid with a hole, i don't know the English Word for it) with an o'ring that you're supposed to screw into the cistern where the tube goes in

You indicated you were already going to be redoing the bathroom, the other anon was suggesting that you just get on with it.

But I'd go with this if you really have to make it work for a week. Gooping stuff up with silicone is usually a shitty idea because it leaks or grows funk over time but it'll get you there for a week.

maybe post an actual picture of the toilet, and provide manufacturer info.

Fill the gap with waterweld epoxy until it can't leak anymore. Replace the toilet at a later date.

Just get oakum and wax, that's what should have been installed originally in 1925

For connecting the wrong pipe to a 4" sewer flange?

this could work if you can find the right size
your picture is absolutely useless so it's hard to tell what would actually work without a picture of the issue

I've heard of this stuff. They called it plumber's putty. You cut off the amount you need, mash it together until homogeneous, and put it on what you want sealed.
