They can fix some pretty mangled props. Send it to the shop and let them look at it. It usually takes about a week around here to get one fixed.

If its an aluminum prop, rule of thumb is about 50% of cost of new prop discounted about 20%..

Yeah, the prop shop near me fixed one of my mangled aluminum props. It took about a week, and cost $49. Came back looking like new. The repairs are pretty strong too, I whacked the repaired prop again, and it bent one of the blades, half that was original, and half that was repaired and it didn't crack at all.
