It all depends on where you go. Last I heard, clarinet repads were about $80 but a repair sheet I have from 2001 suggests $96 for plastic repad and $110 for wooden repad... Some people on eBay offer a service of a repad but I'd suggest calling around for actual cost ideas. Good luck!

If you have a good horn, you shouldn't spend less than $300-400 for a complete repad/oiling/cleaning. The type of pads you get make a big difference, too. Cork pads on the top joint are great, but time consuming and expensive to make. Gortex Pads, also great, are super-expensive.
If you have a low-end horn, you can spend less than $200 and be happy. Good luck!

Just had a complete pad replacement and tune up on my 30 year old Vito. Cost was $145. Yea I know. It's only worth about $150, but I wasn't about to let my 12 year old granddaughter start off on my $1,365 Leblanc Noblet 40.
