How much do you think an electrician would charge?

How long is a piece of string?

Generic ovens:-

The job, itself, is straight forward - more mechanical than electrical.
The element is normally held in place by 2-3 self-tappers, perhaps
behind a fan grill plate (more self tappers). Electrical connection is
normally via push-on spade terminals.

A self respecting spark will charge an hours labour for this. It sounds
like you're not confident about taking on the task yourself - in which
case a spark is the way to go.
