If they only replaced the bearings/cups then they totally took the OP for a ride.
For the prices, a PF71 the BB fitted to the bike has a retail of £24.99 (
SM-BB71 MTB press fit bottom bracket with inner cover, for 92 or 89.5 mm | madison.co.uk), that's going to be the price at a shop, not the on-line which is about £20. Fitting (going from Evans website) is £25, an indepenent will be less, my local is £20.
Given the OP hasn't come back, thinking it is all BS
