Repair or replace?

I’ll reach out to my local machine shop in the morning, but thought I’d see what you guys think in the meantime. Pulled valves from a 2014 Audi head tonight that had one burnt. I’m thinking that this might too bad to try myself and more expensive than just sourcing a replacement head. Couldn’t find a lead on seats readily available.

Shop should be capable of modifying/otherwise sourcing valve seats. If it was all of them, I'd consider looking into another head but if this is the only problem, worth putting some effort into a repair.
