Professional repotting?

I'm an interiorscaper ("plant lady" in offices). While at one of my smaller jobs, one of the employees asked if I knew anyone who repots plants. She has a large stump cane that summers outdoors and gets repotted periodically, but she can't find anyone to do it.

It's way too small of a job for our company to bother with. I thought about offering to do it myself, but by the time I factor in the 45 minute, 25 mile drive each way, plus a bag of good potting mix, and my time, I would have to charge her so much I'm embarrassed to even mention it! Plus it's a large plant (she has a photo of part of it) and it might be a bit much for me to handle by myself with a bad rotator cuff.

Any suggestions? I feel bad for this lady but I'm not gonna do charity work. (It's not a big account, and the lady is not our contact, so I don't feel contractually obligated to humor her.)
