If it's an 09 then you [i]probably[/i] need a semi-integrated headset - there's plenty of choice below £30 - http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=39381

But any doubt on what you need, or fitting it, and you'd be best off paying your LBS a visit.

If it's this one:

Then it looks like a standard aheadset type, for a 1 1/8" steerer. Just take it to a shop and ask them what your options are. I suspect a pair of caged bearings for only a couple of quid will probably make this work like new.

And £30-40 is by no means a cheap headset!
