I paid that for a new unvented cylinder a few years ago (gledhill 120Lt with expansion vessel not a mega flow) seems a bit toppy as a new element is not expensive and it’s a day of their time.

That's a fuck off I dont want the job price that, one thing I will say is sometimes the tank can twist if the immersion heater is stuck in and then you need a new cylinder usually.

Pretty sure your block freeholder / manager is in danger of being in breach of lease with the 6weeks lead time.

So our communal heating / hot water is broken in our block of flats and management company think it could be another 6 weeks at least to try and fix it properly. To top it off the immersion isn't working either. A plumber came round today and quoted us 1.8k to fix the immersion, fix a leak and another seemingly small job which seems crazy to me but then everything else does too these days. Is this in any way reasonable or should I be looking elsewhere?
They wrote this on the quote:
To isolate incoming water supply
To carry out full drain down to hot water cylinder
To disconnect faulty immersion element
Descale cylinder service appliance
To supply and fit new immersion element alongside stat
To disconnect faulty leaking combination valve alongside expansion vessel To re pressurise system carry out visual checks
Check for correct working operation
Would appreciate any help as I'm obviously clueless.
