Yes, you need to drain the boiler hot water circuit and the primary heating circuit. Unfortunately, if you have to ask if it needs to be drained, then you probably shoudn't try to repair it.
There are some jobs best left to the trade. It's not everyone's cup of tea.
There are several versions of the diaphragm available. Some come assembled already on the pin. Others(the better kits ) come with pins and "o" rings and circlips to fully rebuild the valve. This usually makes for a better job.
You can expect to pay around £70/£110 for a repair(including parts) or£165/£220 for a new valve fitted.
It varies depending on how well the job goes and where you live.
Hope this helps . I don't mean to be a d.i.y kill joy but you should see some of the disasters i am called out to.
