Not as an inclusive part of a service. Any work on the crystal will cost extra if you ask them to look at it, and to be honest they'd be more likely to replace it rather than refurb it.

Correct, the only thing they will do with a crystal is replace it.

Just give BUK a call - they'll give you a quote for it in a few seconds. They're very approachable and give great customer service.

Cool and thanks driver for the quick response ,

It is with them at the moment having an overhaul, I just figured they would contact me if they couldn't get it perfect. Shall I take it that I do need to ask them to take a look into it?

In the UK, probably GBP150 - 200 or so - they are fairly pricey.
