Cost to replace a key on a Dell laptop keyboard

Dog jumped on the keyboard and broke one of the keys off - had a look and it needs a new key - well the key is fine its the mechanism underneath that is all broken.
Will it need a new keyboard or can just one key be fixed ? Any idea of cost and can any PC shop do it. Its out of any Dell warranty so if it needs a new keyboard and has to be sent off to Dell then its time to get the superglue out !!

Cheers.

Best of checking ebay for a couple of quid. There are always people breaking laptops for spares.
Don't even think about getting a shop to do it, you are probably talking 100 quid plus.
