And remember for that, you may need a plumber and you may not. While that sounds like a really major project to many, it actually is not. You may not want to do it, but I can't imagine a handyman who can't handle this "plumbing" task. If YOU are really ambitious, you can shut off the water valve to the existing toilet (either push-pull or a turn of the small valve), flush the toilet, use old rags to soak up any remaining water, then loosen the (usually 3 or 4) bolts that connect the tank to the stool part. Set it aside. If you prepare this much, it really won't take a handyman very long to undo the two bolts that hold the stool to the floor, set it aside, throw away the old wax seal on the drain, lay down a new wax seal (you could buy one and have it ready), set the new toilet stool/tank, connect the water supply... Not saying do it yourself, just saying, watch a utube of replacement of an existing toilet, and I think you will be able to see that a handyman can be hired for this type of job. Just like you don't need a journeyman electrician to replace a switch in an EXISTING out let, any handyman, or handy neighbor can do that within 10 minutes, while ADDING additional outlets IS a job for a journeyman electrician. Know the complexity of the job so you don't get over charged.
