I have a cracked toilet cistern which needs replacing. I am a barely

could only find complete loos for sale.

can you buy spare cisterns, or is it better to prelace the whole loo.


and is it a job for a novice or should I bite the bullet and find a
plumber?

Take a look at your household insurance as you might get it replaced
under that. A few years back I had a new bathroom installed and the pan
developed a hairline crack. The insurance paid for a complete toilet as
they had changed from a seperate overflow to an internal overflow. In
theory just a new pan should have done but I got the whole thing done
and the plumbers charges.
