It's not expensive, you just can't afford it.

I had a similar thing with a lounge/dr.
Got it at £60, then he told me someone did it
last year for £25.
When I said I didn't know how they make money
at them prices he said it only took him 15 mins
from start to finish.
Not a good job though and damp for hours.

Impossible done straight away, miracles can take a little longer.

Goes to show there's a market for everyone, and those who have experienced the cheap version next time are more likely to pay the higher prices by those who do it properly.
