I was trying to install a new flush mechanism in my bloody toilet and I accidently dropped the pipe wrench on the bowl and the bowl cracked. Is there any way I can repair the toilet without buying a new one ?

No. Sorry to say you should purchase a new toilet. You could see if you can buy just the bowl. However you need to know exact brand, etc of the toilet you have now.

Go buy a new bowl. But first just for the heck of it price a bowl only and then price the hole toilet. I just installed a handy cap toilet in my parents home. I could buy the bowl of the same make as the tank. So I thought that would be the way to do it and save, BUT the bowl was 92 dollars so I asked what in the world would the toilet complete cost and it was 109 dollars. I bought the whole complete unit.

There are several adhesives that are made for ceramic. Where is the crack? If it's not in an area that is actually holding water you can give one a try. If it is inside the tank or the bowl where water stands then you may get a temporary fix but eventually you'll be replacing the thing anyway.

Mending the crack may cost you more than a new toilet. If it breaks while you are away, you will have significant water damage.

Depends on the crack. Try silicone. However, I can't guarantee a success.
