Buy a frame with a lifetime warranty and just get a new one if it happens..

I had my Tinbred repaired by Vernon Barker: http://www.vernonbarkercycles.co.uk/other%20services.htm

I haven't seen the pics of your damage, but mine had a hairline crack on the seat tube/top tube junction (a common failure on Tinbreds) Vernon did a pretty good job, and wasn't too expensive.

If he is a 'nice guy' why does he do work like this?

He also botched a job of mine, horrid clamp marks left on the seat tube & messy welding adding a disc mount. I wish I had never heard of the bloke.

Havery - im in the east midlands, otherwise I could have got it done at work for you.
Do you know anyone that works in aerospace fabrications? They'd pi$$ it.
