    An Electrician or someone competent to work on Electricity.
    Something inside the box is likely damaged, may not be too bad.

    I agree, a competent handyman can do this job. The power needs o be killed even if the breaker has popped. The receptacle has broken or most likely one of the wires became disconnected. UIf its just a wire no replacement materials will be needed
