My Broken Umbrella
My folding parasol broke. It looks like the open-close button had came off while I was unaware.
I brought it to a repair shop and asked if they could fix it, but they said they need to send it to their factory to replace the entire sliding part in the middle of the umbrella shaft. The repair fee would be 5,500 yen, and because now is their busy season, it would take 7 to 8 weeks.
The parasol itself was about 10,000 yen, and I don't want to spend half of the amount for repair. So, I told the clerk that I would consider it.
I can use a key or something to push the part where the button was, so I think I’ll keep using it like that for a while. If it's too inconvenient, I'll buy a new one.
壊れた日傘
折り畳みの日傘が壊れた。開閉する時に押すボタンが知らないうちに取れてしまっていたようだ。
修理屋に持っていって直せるか聞いたら、工場に出して「ろくろ」（傘の軸の真ん中で上下にスライドする部分）ごと交換しなければならないと言われた。料金は5500円、しかも繁忙期なので期間は7～8週間かかるそうだ。1万円くらいした日傘だが、半額は出したくないので店員に「ちょっと考えます」と言った。
鍵か何かで押せば閉じることはできるので、しばらくこれでやってみようと思う。あまりにも不便すぎるようだったら、買い替えよう。

Jintor's correction of "without me noticing" is good too.

The original sentence is correct, this is just another way to phrase it.
The parasol itself was about 10,000 yen, and I doso I wouldn't want to spend half of the amount forto repair it.
The parasol itself was about 10,000 yen, so I wouldn't want to spend half of the amount to repair it.
The original sentence is correct, but I think "so" makes more sense here since you are explaining why you wouldn't want to pay that amount. The rest of the corrections here are to fit with that change.
So, I told the clerk that I would consider it.

If it's ends up being too inconvenient, I'll buy a new one.

'while I was unaware' is OK grammatically, but is maybe a bit overly-formal.

I hate it when these little things break... I often end up trying to fix it myself, but it doesn't always work out
