Yes it is usually very easy to repair a small slight crack in a denture, occasionally I would let the fracture develope a little before repairing.

Most of the time a crack in the denture can be repaired, however it may be likely that it could crack again in the same place if the cause of the crack is not rectified e.g. thinning of certain areas of the denture, an uneven bite, or it is a very old denture. Please discuss with your dentist or denture prosthetist the pros/cons of a new denture vs a repair, it could save you more money in the long run particularly if you have to keep repairing it.
Some dentist can do an in-house same day repair service of dentures, some dentists send their repairs to a prosthetic lab - the cost will vary depending on this, it will generally cost more if it's sent off site. Alternatively most denture prosthetist do a same day service or whilst you wait.

Yes, it can be repaired but I would only consider it to be a temporary fix. You should consider a new replacement. A cast alloy framework is a much stronger solution as well as being more comfortable.

Yes, in most cases the denture can be repaired and it is a relatively quick and easy fix. However unless you know the reason why the denture has cracked (eg. dropped) it is a good idea to check what has caused the fracture. Perhaps it is your occlusion (bite) or the denture base material has aged, in which case it may be time to replace it with a new denture.
As regards the repair cost, it is not expensive, but if the underlying problem is not rectified the denture may once again crack increasing the cost.
