I recomend this book: here
I bought it so that i could do a fret job (will be doing it in the next couple of weeks i think)and also to help sort out my wiring. It really is a smashing book, lots and lots of info in there for a DIY job (make sure you get the 3rd edition though). |

I never did it by myself cause you need some tools for that,
and knowledge of course. But I also never did any soldering too so this doesn't mean a lot  As for the price,few guys here are doing it for 50-100 euros, 235 euros might be too much,not sure

Yes, tools are not cheap so there is no winning to make, but experiences. I will get some more prices from other luthier, but i'm afraid including paris bonus it will not be in the range of 50-100  |

Dan Erlewine has some instructional videos about all the luthier stuff. Also he has a book that DeepRoots posted the Amazon link.

Those frets sure look worn out mate... I think you should probably go to all the luthiers in town and check some experiences with other people who already did fret jobs with then, so you can make the right decision. 230e seems expensive to me as well, here I can do it for 80-150e, so you might wanna do some more research.

That price is pretty expensive , you should check with other luthier to compare it.You definitely need to change them , but I really recommend doing it in a professional workshop in order to have everything done properly.

Well mate, I don't know what guitar you have, but usually fret job is only applied to hi end models in order to prolong their life. There isn't really any need to do a fret job that costs ~150e on a 250e priced guitar, unless it has some sentimental value.
