Install toilet and fix existing + block off kitchen sink

Concrete Driveways & Paths

I have one toilet with a cracked cistern and another one with a cracked bowl. The plan is to take the cistern from the toilet with cracked bowl and install it on the one with the cracked cistern. I believe they are the same model - afoldi. Then buy a new toilet (s pan) or get plumber to source one if you can get a good deal and install a whole new toilet to the one that has a cracked bowl. Then we have 2 sinks in our kitchen. We want to block one off and make it into a bench top instead.
