Had a quote from Mercian for around £400! A lot more than the frame is worth. Think i'll get a quote from the guys you've suggested.
Damaged rear hanger. Help.

60 years ago this would have been a simple repair, just pull off the broken bit, make sure it fits with a little filing, clamp it back in place and use a little silver, like easyflo. We used to add Campagnolo gear hangers, and this isn't much more. A penetration joint, not weld, would be more than adequate. My half tin of easyflo flux is still viable after 60 years.
If it was my frame that is what I would do.

Yep £400 includes de-chroming and re-chroming. I could have it welded but this would decrease the value of the frame. Only a full repair would enable it to hold its original value. I`m currently trying to get the sender to refund a third of the value of the full bike sale as the quote clearly rights the frame off.
