Two drain covers on our drive got popped by a skip lorry driving over them.

No bother I thought, I will just get a local plumber to replace them.

I've just been quoted a grand plus VAT! Is that normal?

I appreciate you have to replace the frame not just the cover and in this case the frame is in tarmac but a grand. Surely it's less than a days work for one person. The covers themselves look like they are £70.

What is the going rate for one of these things?

Or just mix up a bit of mortar and DIY.
If it's a case of a grand to me, then this may well be the plan.
