How much would the dentist charge for chipped tooth/s and enamel erosion repair?

Okay, so I basically have two front teeth which have tiny chips on the front. My two front teeth also have enamel erosion (at the base, kind of like a bit of gap) and want to get my teeth repaired. They don't look noticeable when I am talking to someone, but on closer inspection it's noticeable. I have always had good teeth (in terms of placement and aesthetics) but over the years eating too much sugary food/drinks, along with limited visits to the dentists my teeth have started to show wear and tear. I don't want them to get worse, so need to get them repaired. The NHS dentist local to me charge £50+ for a specific set of treatments, but I don't know what kind of treatment I would need so cannot find the exact price.

Well unless anyone knows the exact treatment - no one can give you an exact price!
On the NHS - if the treatment just involves fillings, it would be the Band 2 charge of £50 odd quid. If it involves crowns or veneers - then it would be the Band 3 £220 odd quid (In total, not per item). That's assuming you live in England or Wales. Scotland & NI are different again
If it's deemed 'cosmetic' - then it would not be an NHS treatment, and could literally be anything if paid privately. Depending on what treatment it was, and what options you chose.
I really think you need to be asking a dentist this, whilst sat in his/her chair and they can see exactly what the problem is and the best options for fixing it.How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0
