Depending on which part has snapped it may need just a new surround where the hinge connects to the screen side, or a new casing where it holds all the components. Ebay will probably sell both.
Otherwise just hash it with some tape!

Contact a local computer repair person, they might be able to get the parts to fix it for you.

Hinge - ~£25
If needing a new Screen - ~£70

Hinges can cost sod all depending on what laptop it is.
If you broke the base plastics the hinge connects on, then you'll need to get a new one (obviously).
Not the world's most hardest job to do, but it takes a long time to completely dismantle a laptop and put it back together again so you'd probably be paying more for labour than for parts (just like with cars LOL).
