You can do it yourself with the help of a haynes manual and at least a whole day free. About £20 for the gasket, and less than £20 for the new head bolts. However, if you pay a garage, it will be at least £200 due to the labour.

u cud do the rocker cover gasket urself quite easily, but if its head gasket then it is quite a bit of work
u cud do head gasket urself but if ur not very brave with a spanner and have never done anything like it before, then mite be worth taking it to a garage, about 200 quid if it doesnt need skimming

If its 8v, its easy. Basically all you need is a good socket set and torque wrench.
