Pulled ceiling light fitting completely out, cost to sort out?

Hi all
DD2 played Tarzan (don't ask) with the ceiling light fitting in her bedroom and pulled the light and the wires out, breaking the plastic bit that attaches to the ceiling in half in the process (sorry the name escapes me at the mo - not technical at all!)
I have the light fitting, the two wires just seem to have been clean pulled out. What would I be looking at to sort it out costwise - I hope my explanation is enough to make some kind of sense!

a new pendant light fitting is only 2 or 3 quid.
simple enough diy job to replace. it should be fairly obvious where the two wires came from.

Cheers - OH did end up sorting it himself, I got myself all alarmed about it because DD insisted she got a shock off it but it turned out it was pretty straightforward!Dealing with my debts!Currently overpaying Virgin cc -balance Jan 2010 @ 1985.65Now @ 703.63
