When pads are changed this is the apppropriate time to do a host of other things which are equally important, especially with cork pads which demand clean tone hole edges, precision key bearings, secure posts, correct key cup alignment, etc.

The price will and should depend on how much of this work is done. A 'cheap' repairer offering a cheap price may very likely not do all this work so the pad replacement may well result in a great deal of unreliability.

So I would expect the price to depend on the exact state of your instrument. In the ideal situation this associated work has already been attended to during past recent servicing, in which case the actual cork pad work is reasonably straight-forward and quick.
