how to mend television antenna socket?

The socket is probably snapped off the UHF tuner, as the socket and tuner are generally integrated nowadays. In this case you will usually need a complete new tuner - can be quite expensive. "Guesstimate".. £40-£70 for the part + £40-£50 labour.

If you still have the socket part, an engineer may be able to re-attach it, if it hasn't ripped away the printed circuit inside the tuner.
