Cheers

Sent my Hope Mini Monos to Hope for a service last Nov and it cost me £85! Was quite a shock, but they do feel like new (not that I've ever had a pair of new brakes!)

I think it will be about 100 quid for a set of m4s that includes all pistons seals and pads replaced and a full. strip and rebuild
you could do it yourself
dot. fluid 7 quid
pistons 24 quid
seals 12 quid
pads 20 quid
bore cap tools, circlup pliers 18 quid

someone off here's done a really good set of guides for doing it yourself

either way its worth it

Never touched the levers, but did my Mono Mini calipers which I guess would be a similar process.

All very straightforward, had a bit of trouble removing one of the stuck pistons but otherwise it was simple.

Here's the guide I followed...

You just have to be a little careful when fitting the pistons into the calliper, not to roll the seal, it seems to feel ok for a ride or two, then the piston starts sticking.
