mastic, undercoat and gloss on windows

quote for a ground floor red sandstone victorian tenement in glasgow
for bay window (3 sashes) and one other was £40 each for mastic (removing old and putting in new) and £10 each to undercoat and gloss.

does this sound right? (that would be around £200 for the 4)

    Seems like fair price to me, assume it's sandmastic that's coming off and going back on. Only question i'd have is will they be happy to come back if the windows leak I work for a double galzing repair company and have lost count of the times we've gone out to windows that someone has "fixed" for a few quid cash then won't do any call backs if there's a problem. For comparison we normally charge around £11 per metre to strip and re-seal, however we do honour our guarantee's and always return within a week of any compaint
