Home Radiator Replacement

Hi all,
I removed an old radiator a few months back when i started work on our spare room. Instead of removing the many layers of paint on the old one i recently purchased a replacment now the room is done. I decided to purchase the same size which is 600 x 800 but knowing it might not be a direct replacment.
When i received the new radiator last week i checked to see if it would fit the current brackets still on the wall but found it would not so i now need to find a plumber to do this for me.
Could anyone tell me how much a plumber would charge to fit a new one in place and connect up. The old pipes are still there with the old valves so not sure if they could use them still

Hopefully it should not cost more than around a minimum callout of about £60 + parts + VAT.
If for some reason the pipework needs altering then it would cost more.0
