Keys can be replated. When this is done, you have to pay the price of a complete overhaul plus plating as they must remove the keys from the instrument and remove all the pads from the keys to do this replating. On a good instrument it is worthwhile to do. With the pads having been recently replaced though, you might want to wait awhile.

In my opinion, this might be a bit high for an instrument of this age and condition. Here in the US, the major mail order houses sell new ones for about $1800. Of course things could easily be different in the UK. That would make a big difference in whether this is an appropriate price.
