Toilet filling problems

how do you thaw lines to toilet.  We had 2 plumbers here this afternoon to thaw pipes after a night of 28 below zero.  Everything was fine, cost $225, the left, went to use toilet, but tank will not fill up.  Don't have another $150 for them to come back, can I thaw lines myself???

I would use an electric heater or blowdryer

The only foolish question is that which remains unasked.

go to menards/home depot/ace and get the plug-in wrap wires.  it's like a flat extension cord that you wrap around the pipes.  it has a built in sensor that regulates the temp, not too hot.  I use them in a summer cottage during the winter so i don't have to blow the pipes out.  not a break since i started using them about 5 years ago.  cost about $25  will take a couple hours to thaw, but will keep them thawed.
