Hole in soil pipe, would this cause a slow flush?

If you go down the Tape route, wear gloves and throw them away when you're done. Tape has excellent waterproofing qualities but is filthy stuff. One of my first jobs starting out as an Apprentice was wrapping 2" Steel Gas pipes with it. No Gloves, no running water on the job!

Things have changed for the better thankfully!

Well the epoxy repair seems to be holding up, but the toilet is still blocked. I'm going to get a better plunger, and if that doesn't work, it looks like I'm going to need a plumber.

Are you confident to take the Toilet out? (Will need to replace the Pan Connector when refitting.) Secondly, do you use Rim Block toilet fresheners? Any chance one is stuck in the U bend?

I'm going to get a better plunger,

Did you try the mop in a plastic bag thing? Pan should have plenty of water in for this.
