I had mine done for about £45 by a mobile aircon specialist. Came to the house, took him about an hour each (did my son's 306 at the same time).
Proper job. Evacuated the system, weighed the gas, checked for leaks then recharged it, both still going strong although mine is considerably more powerful and effective than the 306.

Lots of places regas air con systems very cheaply. You can eaqsily find a company who will do it for under £40.

For people in the North, NETE are doing regassing for £35.

You can't do a regas properly DIY without a A/C recharging station.
