Sounds like it uses compression joints. All I do with a burst pipe is chop it away and use a compression joints anyway it is not the proper way of doing it but it would take me for ever to solder a joint.
It really should work fine but make sure when you cut out the old burst pipe it is cut straight or it won't work.
I have never done any plubming in my life and replumbed in a new sink in the bathroom, ok I had a leak and it took a me a while to fix that but it was very easy to with compression joints.
A couple of compression joints and some cheap 15mm copper piping from B&Q it should be as easy as any DIY kit.
Edit I do not want to nark any plumber with my comment there, the bathroom sink did tank me an entire afternoon and evening and I wouldn't know where to begin with install something like a boiler or water tank :).
