Broken concrete roof tile

Hi all

We had a bit of a storm last night. This morning l noticed the corner of a roof tile on the front extension is cracked. They are standard concrete tiles, can we get the right stuff and repair it ourselves? Otherwise any idea how much it will cost? Last one was fifty quid to replace as it was right across the middle but that must be 6 years ago now.

    Depends how good you are at DIY?
    1-2 pounds for replacement.
    Or pay someone.

    apparently roofing repair is very simple if you don't mind height and has a big enough ladder.  i don't think these tiles cost much to buy.
