Toilet - wooden with white plastic coating. How to fix a tiny chip?

[Rollerball]

This is the seat that I have:

Bemis Ultra-fix Denver White Round Standard close Toilet seat | DIY at B&Q

This Bemis Denver white toilet seat is made from moulded wood and comes with Ultra-fix® fastening system.

www.diy.com

The inner rear edge of the seat has a very tiny chip in it, no idea how it got there. The chip is maybe 2 to 3mm long. I want to cover it to avoid water getting inside and starting to swell the wood.

I've had the seat for over two years so I doubt if B&Q will do anything about it if I query it, so what's the best way to patch up the chipped area?

Put a very tiny bit of silicone sealant on it perhaps?

Yeah silicone.

Thanks.

I've also just found my receipt, it's under two years old, I wonder if B&Q would honour the two year guarantee and replace it ........

Just buy a new seat that is plastic.

I've always thought that 100% plastic seats were a bit thin and seemed cheap and ready to break. Do you have any recommendations?
