Replacement of drain pipe to gully

On moving into my house a drain survey identified a hole in a gully waste pipe leading to a manhole. The length of the gully run is approximately 2 metres.
I've been quoted £600 to replace the gully and the pipe into the manhole. I'm surprised it's less than a days' work.
Does this quote seem reasonable?
Thx in advance

Sorry for the late response.
The gulley is set under soil. I'm not sure if the drain is set within concrete within the soil though. The cost of £600 ( inc VAT ) does include replacing the gulley and setting it in concrete once replaced. This quote is from a specialist drain firm.
I also got a quote from a local builder who quoted me more like £750, stating 2 days work - quite a difference to the half day for the specialist!
Views most welcomed!! I am based within M25 if this makes a difference!!
THANKS0
