   it wont be cheap as its a head off job, then strip the valves down to replace the seals
   
   why do you want them doing??

   Parts are £20.
   IIRC labour is about 6 hours to do the job.
   
   So fitting would depend on whatever the garage charges labour. IE if they charge £40 per hour. 40 x 6 = 240.
   
   So £20 parts and £240 labour.
   
   I would expect somewhere between £200-£300
