You could buy a new mirror for half that

In comparison, I had my boot done for £90

You're going to the wrong bodyshop then

A local place did mine, just stripped down the outer face of the boot and re-painted it as it had been done by some dodgy backstreet place in the past.

Before (You can see it looks really cloudy on the left, and the right hand side is paint over existing paint with no prep work):



After:
