I've heard prices like that too.
However if its a fabric suite, you could see if you could get the cover off yourself, unpicking staples, then sliding the cover off. Once the cover is picked apart at the seams you will have a template to cut your new fabric, simply sew together new fabric and put back on suite, pulling tight and stapling with a heavy duty gun.
I did this with a metal action sofa bed many moons ago. It cost me €50 for 2 pairs of curtains [buy get one free], I reused the cushion zips too. It was the first time I did anything like it, but well worth it.
