its not a case of just changing the seals. there are other nasty surprises such as the pistons being pitted. this all bumps the price through the roof. add in do you trust a garage to do the job properly like clean out the recesses (main problem) and assemble them again using RRG.

personally i would get another set of callipers and refurb those. seals are cheep pistons are not.

i would say a full strip and rebuild with new pistons and seals done properly will cost you a min of £150, ride in ride out will be around £200. depending on the condition of the pads you can add in the price of those as well.
