B700 - Scratched from element

Hi all,
My wife has accidentally scratched the front element of her B700 lens. I have cleaned with with a lens brush and lens pen, but it is significant mark that can be seen through the EVF and shows in her shots (The amount depends on the aperture of course) - It is like a 2mm (0.07") x 1mm chip.
Has anyone ever sent one off for the front element to be replaced, and how much did it cost? I'm trying to weigh up whether to replace the camera with a new one, or get it repaired.

Cheers,
Steve
