Out of waranty T68 repair options in UK

I've got an out of warranty T68 that is now not reliably recieving or
making calls, I find that sometimes I need to put pressure on some areas
of the top of the phone to make or recieve calls. I believe this is a
relativley common problem, and that the antenna probably needs reflowing?

I've just been quoted £42.50 by Celestica, with "a couple of weeks"
turnaround. That's significantly more than I want to pay, and I'm
guessing most of the value of the phone.

Are there any other places in the UK that would do this cheaper?

If there's a diy solution I might go for it but I'm a bit nervous, and
I've read elsewhere that you want a special soldering iron for the
insides of phones as standard ones tend to get too hot?

Yup, I've just sold mine for this piss poor build quality record.
