Looking for places to recoat primary mirror

Hey all in looking into getting my 10" primary mirror recoated I live near Melbourne Victoria could anyone shed some light on places near me that do it and even an average price? A new mirror is around $350 for what I've see. So far but don't really have that much to spend

I sent mine to Saintech. I think it cost over $350 but that was with enhanced aluminium coating and an overcoat. Hopefully it will last much longer than the original coating. Wayne is great to deal with, the job was done promptly and the mirror looks great. The scope is working better than ever.

Hmmmm I can't really afford that much in hoping to find something cheaper. I know you get great quality with high price but I can't afford that price tag at the moment.
