Even a proprietary limescale remover does nothing to help. Any recommendations please?

yes
put the loo brush in and push the water to and fro until it disappears..... then buy something called calcor..... that is the best stuff in the world, if that doesn't do the job, I shall come round to your house and do it myself.

1. Try adding dishwasing powder (Alkaline degreaser) to toilet and add some warm water {to speed up reaction}, mix well to remove any oily film which may be stopping acid from dissolving lime.
2. Flush toilet a few times then Add 1 -2 cups of vinegar (this will remove rust stains as well) and some warm water. Leave for 1/2 hr then clean with toilet brush & Flush Away Your Troubles ;-)
Good luck!

You might try boiling some white vinegar in a big pot. Remove from heat, then add baking soda.Pour it in toilet,let sit a few minutes.Scrub then flush! This works in very low or no water in the toilet! You need a very large pot,because it bubbles up and may overflow! I would use about 3/4 of a 16oz. bottle of vinegar and 1/2 box of baking soda! This worked for me when i cleaned my brother's toilet.But i left it in for a long time and there was almost no water in the toilet! Good Luck!

Siphon out as much water out of the bowl as you can and tip in a couple of litres of Coca Cola. Seriously, it's the best limescale remover I know. I've seen that stuff completely dissolve a tooth in the space of a weekend.

Try Cillit Bang! It just about destroys everything. Squirt it around the rim of lime scale, leave it for about 30 seconds, squirt again and use a toilet brush to scrape. Godd Luck.

Forget bleach it wont remove it only bleach it. Try harpic in the black bottle and leave over night but first use the toilet brush as a plunger to remove the water.

A pumice stone and elbow grease. The pumice stone will get the mineral deposits off without scratching the bowl. Bleach doesnt really remove it, just bleaches it so you dont see it for a while.

Paper towels soaked with pure vinegar will remove lime, mineral deposits if you can get them to stick on the toilet. I use that on my faucets about once a month and they shine like crazy with zero deposits left behind.

Vinegar, used full strength. It will require re-application from time to time until the job is done. The acetic acid in vinegar attacks the scale, which is calcium carbonate, liberating carbon dioxide and resulting in calcium acetate, which is soluble. The carbon dioxide may be visible as tiny bubbles.

are you leaving the limescale remover on overnight without flushing? it really should work if you persist.
are you sure its limescale and not remnants of a vindaloo?
