Doland,
The only top tube ding I've ever seen that required a tube replacement was done by an angry wife and a big hammer. Top tube dings are rarely fatal. Cost to repair depends on the situation. With a repaint probably $10. For a repair and touch-up, probably around $50, depending on color, etc..
