Can the tank be replaced without swapping the bowl?

Yes, it's a standard job. The key is mount and outlet compatibility. For most close-coupled toilets universal tanks are available and fit without issue. The bowl porcelain can last another 20 years after a tank swap.

Why does a tank crack?

Most often — water hammer (sudden pressure spikes) and temperature swings (hot water on the outer wall when the shower runs, cold water inside). Sometimes a manufacturing defect (internal stress in the porcelain). Risk goes down with a pressure reducer and water-hammer arrestor.

For a one-piece unit (monobloc) — can just the upper part be replaced?

No. A monobloc is a single porcelain piece where tank and bowl are cast together. A cracked tank = replacing the whole monobloc. That's why monobloc is scarier for repair — but tends to live longer thanks to the monolithic build.

Should the plumber bring the tank?

Usually not. You buy the tank yourself (need the model or mounting dimensions), the plumber comes and installs. If unsure of compatibility — book a diagnostic visit (ILS 200–300), he'll tell you what to buy and come back for installation.
