new door frame - cost

Can anyone advise me roughly how much it would cost to have a door frame replaced? I seem to have a problem with my kitchen interior door. The door is closing no problem but I have a mortice lock on it (dont ask!!!) and it is really difficult to get locked. The inside of the frame has a few cracks in it. Thanks in advance for any advice.

    If its just tweaking the lock then ~£50
    New door lining, rehang door and painting would be a good days work or more (150-200 / day)
  • Thanks Rob

    Have managed after much perceveirance to fix it myself which I am quite proud of. Just had to chip away a bit of the wood at the bottom of the hole as the lock was catching
