Alternatively,

Threaten them with a summons to the small claims court as you want them
to fulfil the terms of the service contract. Also add the cost of all
your time and effort at a reasonable work rate for preparing the case
against them plus compensation for travel time, petrol, parking, phone
calls, electricity consumed for making prints. It will cost you a few
quid to lodge the claim but the defendant will have to pay if
successful. This usually causes big firms to act as the paperwork is
dispatched to the company secretary who has to respond in writing within
a specific time frame. As the cost of settling a small claim fulfilling
the contractual obligation is less than the cost of dealing with the
complaint through the small court, the issue gets settled pretty
quickly. If summons in this way, a you can recoup all of your costs plus
more.
