A while since I did one on a 306, if I remember rightly the cv joint doesn't come off the end of the shaft like other cars therefore a special stretchy boot is used and put on with a special tool (a cone you slide it over). A top mechanic should have the job done in about 20 mins. (I did a vauxhall in about 15mins the other day, the joint comes off the shaft on those). A garage will probably want to charge silly money for the full shaft and don't normally like you to supply your own. They should charge you £5 to £10 for a boot plus fitting.
By the way, it is an MoT failure, so it will want doing for then.
