It can be fixed without welding. You'll need to cut a small hole in the boot floor and then you can insert a strong plate inside the box section to keep the bolt from pulling through. The plate should also keep the bolt guide pipe from moving. This is what i've personally done.

Those prices are grossly overpriced. You can easily DIY it.
Under the carpet there is an inspection hole. Take the bung out and you'll be able to see the offending bolt and nut that refuses to pull the subframe tight to the chassis. You'll want to make this hole slightly larger by a few inches so you can fit a decent sized metal plate in the to fit under the nut.

As far as i can remember this hole is about two or three inches inwards from the front of the wheel arch. Now i remember the bung is painted the same colour as the body so it might not be easy to spot. You'll need to give it a right bash with a screwdriver underneath it to get it out. I can't remember what the bung was made of tbh.
