How much is a typical repair of the iPhone 3GS home button?
Now it is getting much more difficult to get the home button working, had to press much harder.

I am comparing the cost of repair versus getting another used set.

Anyone good reliable repair shop to recommend, real good after-sales service.

Better to get another used set.
3GS is pretty much outdated, hard to source for parts etc.

20 bucks if you go sim lim. but no point cos after a while same thing happen. Suspect could be the internal component or circuit board issue liao.

It cost about $20-$25 bucks to get it fixed. Any mobile shops can do it.

But it's pointless. Because they might screw up your phone while fixing, and then more problems will occur. Even if you do get it fixed, it would work for only a couple of weeks, then the home button will be insensitive again.

I have gotten my 3GS fixed before so I know

Until now still working fine.

Try this method first. It may just solve your problem without the need to replace.
