It can vary enormously, depending upon the make and model.

To get a rough figure, find out what the part costs from here:
http://www.laptopscreenonline.com/laptop-screens-35-w.asp

PC World charge the cost of the screen (but be prepared to pay significantly more for it from PC World than the prices quoted in my link) plus £50.

A local PC repair shop would probably get the part from somewhere like my link (possibly adding perhaps 10% to 20% onto the price as their profit for supplying it to you) and then charge you perhaps £40 or £50 for the labour.

Wherever you go, make sure that you get a fixed quote (rather than an 'estimate') before agreeing to anything. There are plenty of places that will happily charge you three or four times a fair price.
I ask this question about 3 years ago, it was for a friend on mine's son, his Lap had a cracked screen. £ 130, you can do it your self nut you need patience & time, if you decide to do it, check on ebay.

Sorry late getting back to you.I rang a computer repair shop and he gave me £70 for screen ,£10 for labour,and he is even coming out to me to do it,so £10 for that.
I am at present in Wales at my caravan ,it is my grandson`s laptop that needs repairing...I don`t drive so mentioned this to the man on the phone and he kindly offered to come to me...the bus fare would have been almost a tenner..coming today at 11.30.
Let us know the outcome kloofie !
By the way, its seems that you have a good chap there...very reasonable prices ! Where exactly are you in Wales, in case I need him sometime ?
