Default cost of wheel arch repair

Hi,

My wheel arch is bubbling all around the edges, with small bits of rust poking through. Assuming I buy the wheel arch repair kit from SNG for £75, does anybody know roughly how much I'm looking at for a repair bill including respraying the area?

I'm in the north west of England.

The paint job on mine which was blow over repaired areas with colour and then clear coat both sills and rear wings with some filler finishing over my repairs was £500, so I would guess that to have them do the arch repairs too would be a minimum of £1k.

Jesus! I've been told by a body shop near me £400 ( plus VAT and the arch ). I was wondering if that's a good price or not.
