The labour cost would depend on whether the old tank is/has to be removed.
The only way may be by cutting it up. If it can be left or removed easily,
it sounds rather high to me.

All the properties I have owned have either still had the original tank
or otherwise it had been replaced and the old one left in the loft area.
Something like a chalet bungalow might be more problematical.

Faced with a £600 quote I might consider giving up the tank.

Faced with a 600 pound quote for few hours work- I'd be getting another
quote.

You don't need plumber for this. A "Dave" could do it.
