Well assuming that you dont actually know anyone of the type mentioned I dont think you really have much choice, although I would strongly advise you to get an estimate first and carefully select where you take it so as "not" to get conned (a definite possibility) by someone making out that there must be a lot more wrong with it than just the fuse having gone, which of course there could be!! but however going by track record in most cases it is only the fuse at fault.
By the way, replacing the fuse should not take any longer than approx one hours work by anyone with a suitably equipped service bench, and who is experienced in working with devices such as camcorders etc.
