If there's no grommit, get it sorted ASAP cos it'll do you no favours 
But £60?? Costs less than that to get an amp wired in from scratch(about £30). Tell this bloke to kiss your ass!

will cost u a quid for the grommet,
disconnect power cable from battery.
thread the powercable back into the cabin thru the firewall. insert grommet in the hole.
rethread the cable back in to the engine bay, reconnect to battery. fix it up.
i'm quite disguisted that sextons hadn't used a grommet. I would be furious, the powercable could have chaffed and may have caused a short, having your car up in smoke with you outside looking like a fool.
mate get is sorted asap.

are they glass fuse holders or inline fuse holders? On the glass fuses one end of the entire cable comes out and will go back through the hole. An inline fuse will fit through the hole anyway.

oh yea, forgot about the fuse holder!
the only thing i can suggest is disconnect the power cable at both ends and thread it into the engine bay.
this would mean more headache cos u'r gonna have to reroute the cable after and strip ur car out.
