A repair in Romania (EU, unlike UK) has a labor cost of 10-20EUR depending on the complexity; in most cases the "repair" is just replacing a component that has connectors, so it takes minutes, or swapping a new battery. A £100 fee sounds like science-fiction or lack of common sense.

A fee of 100-120 euros is not unusual in a part of the EU that isn't dirt poor, nothing science fiction about it.
