But more imporantly, the costs.. She has been quoted £450, which seems

To be honest, I can't tell you much about this, as its word of mouth.
And its not like we can go and visit to take a look as she lives at
the other side of the country...

Does anyone have an approximate idea of what she should be looking to
pay for a job like this?

Guessing that it's a galvanised steel tank (which rust through eventually)
and that the connecting pipework is screwed steel it's probably a good
half day's work, maybe a day's if the pipework's particularly difficult to
get to or in very bad condition, so it could reasonably be what she's been
quoted. Best to ask specifically what's involved and why so much, and
maybe get another quote if it seems unreasonable.
