Doing it right means removing the bridge, cleaning off ALL of the old glue, and regluing it, preferably with hot hide glue which is just as strong, if not stronger than PVA or aliphatic resin glue, AND it withstands heat better than any of the simple carpenters' glues most often used.
Go to www.frets.com for more info on the whys and wherefores of HHG.

Steve Carmody is a pretty well respected luthier in this area and he has a simple blue book of repairs on his web site. Should give you some idea, depending on what else might be involved.

$25 to $100 bucks. Depends where you live. Do what you can to verify skill!
