I thought it was high, the quote is to replace the doorframe and remove the old one. The door itself is fine and imo just the chipboard section where the locking side of the door should be cut out and then some oak frame spliced in.
The joiner knows it's going to be on insurance so a think stuck a big premium on it!
I just went online and an exterior oak frame is about £180

Also, might be worth reconsidering that chip board construction if you own the flat
