Boot won't open - Corsa 2009

My boot won't open with the remote key. 
What could be the problem and how much would it cost to fix it?

Could be a flat battery in the key
Could be a dicky switch in the key
Could be any of a dozen things.

Does the boot open with the key?
Does the remote locking work the doors?

I tried the spare remote key. Driver passenger Door locked and unlocked. 
But boot won't open with either remote key.

Can you open the boot manually?

Or do you mean you can't unlock the boot?

 it wouldn't unlock

There is no way to manually open it from the outside.

Unless I put the back seat down and find a way which is not ideally

Might be your only option to get the boot open and then locate the fault and carry out a repair

What could be the likely fault and how much roughly will it cost?
Just want to have some number in my head so I don't get rip off

Mine wouldn't open this week yet again.

Take back seats down, climb in with a flat screwdriver, poke the loop thingy, get out of car, close all doors, try fob, still no joy, repeat, then I poked the outside boot lock sort of under the handle bit with said screwdriver, something went click, tried fob again, and all worked and opened, then I  squirted the lock on the boot with wd40, no idea if I should have done, but it all seems to work fine atm.

a vauxhall dealer will tell you for roughly £120 per hour + parts. its probably the boot lock given up the ghost.

I once had a similar problem with a ford escort, once I had crawled into the boot from inside the car and opened it I realised that the latch that the lock clicked into was loose, once I tightened it down I never had the problem again.
