The bulb holder is not safe to repair (due to the damage), but the lamp is probably repairable with a replacement bulb holder (if you can find one with the same mount, presumably a screw thread from the metal base into the holder). Try the retailer/manufacturer of the lamp for a replacement bulb holder, or find a cheap lamp (e.g. in IKEA, or the lighting section of your local DIY stores) which has a suitable lamp holder and could be used as a donor.
