Yeah would normally be about £80, you can probably do it yourself, I get the screens for £30 for the standard 15.6" ones but it does vary. I rarely do screens these days though.
However the question to if it is worth doing or not depends on exactly what your current laptop is, what model is it, what processor? what hard drive, what condition is in etc?
When I get a machine in for a screen I always do a hard drive test, and also check the rest of the laptop first.
I know this sounds stupid have you checked that the screen is on maximum? Usually modern LED screens don't go dim with old age, only the old florescent type do but these haven't been made since about 2008. If yours is one of them the laptop is old and probably not worth repairing but also the cost of these screens is now huge as they have not been made for nearly 10 years.
Personally I also hate consumer grade laptops with a passion especially anything sold for less than £200, but at £230 you can get some stuff that is ok for light use. Myself I use a £60 Thinkpad X200 which I have rebuilt and upgraded to the max (8GB RAM, SSD etc) and my desktops.
