I'm pretty sure his current price is £300 though, but even that is a good deal considering mine still looks like it was done yesterday and will doubtless outlive me.
A set-up - will depend on what needs doing - I've seen guitars that barely need touching and others that are a mess - £40-80 will cover a lot of work + then add extra cost for any materials
*edit* An unbound BRW fingerboard in my case.
*double-edit* I'm not sure why I didn't go to Feline in the end either!

A typical re-fret is between 5-6 hours on the bench (currently at £55/hr)
Removal of existing frets and replacement with a fret-wire of your choice.
Includes: Fret Dress and set up as you'd expect
For stainless & EVO we say expect an extra hour's labour and a £30 surcharge for wear and tear on tools
We time all our work - so charged out as accurately and fairly as we can
Fretwork is something we are passionate over and whilst expensive it either makes or breaks a guitar, so worth getting done well.Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

Never had refret done on a guitar I've owned, but I have been considering it on my early-80s Strat as the originals are practically worn down to the board.
It's a lacquered maple board - it's been mentioned a couple of times earlier in the thread, but what sort of surcharge does that tend to add to the cost?
