An advisory on its last mot was corroded rears.

Tbh they don't look that bad visually but I'm no mechanic.

Are there any kits I can purchase, a google shows nothing.

If taken to an independent garage, what am I looking at time wise to get some pipes made up, fitted and brakes bled?

So I can guage labour cost really.

Thanks in advance.

Very little work involved, just sand them off and put some heatshrink over.

Yeah, but you'll still need to remove them to sand and then put heatshrink over. If you take em off, may as well copy them into cunifer pipe (so long as you haven't bent them). 

Thinking about it, if you heatshrunk them, coat the pipe with waxoyl before sliding the heathshrink over to stop capillary rust action.

For the cost of new pipes at a local motor factors could you really be bothered? Get a new one made up and save the faffing about, as mentioned there's always a risk the rust is going to carry on anyway. Seems more like hiding a problem than solving it to me.
