Just got back from the Apple shop and the repair will cost 225 pounds. This is the first one they have seen needing this repair and it took them awhile to figure out the price. The entire unibody must be replaced. They explained that almost every external part is attached to the unibody the same way.
So if you break the keyboard, power button, ports, battery meter, etc. you are staring at a 225 pound repair. That is the understanding I have from what they said anyway. Even they seemed a little surprised by that.
I also had a faulty bluetooth unit. The bluetooth is located in the screen and they are going to replace the whole lid. They are doing it for free and didn't give me any grief about it. Once they looked it up and found out that the BT was in the screen of the unit they ruled out damage from the track pad. I don't know what replacing a lid would cost if you had to do it out of pocket, I didn't think to ask.
The estimated time of repair is 7-10 days. If any of you need your new MBP serviced don't be surprised if the genius at the shop takes a little while and doesn't know what things cost as they have seen very few of these things so far. I think mine is actually the first one they have had to do hardware repairs to at the Kingston, UK shop.
So it seems to me that if you break anything in the lid you are looking at a complete lid replacement and if you break anything on the unibody it is also a complete replacement. I am less certain on the lid however.
Some people are going to be shocked at the bill when they dump wine into their keyboards. The old MBP keyboard was $60 to replace when I had mine done in Warsaw for comparison.
I asked them if I get to keep the old unibody and the reply was a very firm no.

So much for putting it on Ebay.
The only other thing I found out is that buying an extra battery is 99 pounds.
