Broken "magic corner" - help!

I have one of those "magic corner" shelf arrangements in my kitchen, and it's kaput. I don't think it's repairable as it looks as though at least one section has sheared off - so at the very least, new parts will be required.
Now I consider myself fairly handy with DIY, but I've looked at this and don't have the first clue how to fix it. I'd like to get a professional in to repair or replace it, but realised I have no idea what kind of tradesman would do this kind of thing. Joiner, kitchen fitter, general handyman?
Does anyone have experience of getting one of these things fixed?

Any of those should be able to do it.
What part is broken?
you can get the replacements units from B&Q for example (make sure you get the right one as they come in left hand and right hand openings).
I fitted the one in our kitchen and the instructions were simple to follow (it comes with a template that you lay on the bottom and side of the cupboard carcass and then drill the holes highlighted)0 -
The broken part is the bit that controls how far the unit pulls out. Now it will only come out so far and won't swing round to allow access, so a large part of the shelving is unusable.
Interesting about B&Q. I'd thought these things were more "specialist" than that, but I'll take a look there and see if it looks do-able to replace it myself.0
