Is uPVC window hinge replacement a cheap fix?

One of our windows has started dropping and catching when you open it, and someone mentioned the hinges might be worn. I’m just trying to get a rough idea of what this will cost and whether I should give it a go myself

A repair I would estimate a
Cost of approx £90 if your in the local area.

"Hi,
We replace hinges for £70 in our area. If the sash is quite large then it could need the glass toe and healed.

Many Thanks
Rob"
