My Peugeot 405 TD (with aircon) Sump is holed?

Is it a huge job to change it.
How long would it take a mechanic?
Does the engine and gearbox have to be removed to do it?
It is the model with the alloy sump tray.

If it was mine, I'd try to repair it. Chemical Metal (can't remember who makes it) goes on a little like bodyfiller, but it dries rock hard and is heat/oil resistant. I've used it to fix all sorts of things. I think Halfords sell it.
