Dang! Another one catches the shutter bug of death. Recently had the same thing.
It'll cost you, but if you're willing to spend money, you'll essentially have a new camera really, since they're mostly shutter anyway.
I went to all these guys. They all offered pretty specific numbers, with Sendean actually taking it in for a free estimate. I liked them.

Saying all this, since it's a GR1s, you have another, cheaper option and that is to send it to Japan through this guy to have it repaired.

He was specific, communicative and easy to deal with. I didn't want to repair mine simply because Ricoh stopped repairing the GR1, and UK based places were far more expensive to repair then the S/V models. I miss it something fierce.
He gave me a quote of around £120, whilst the UK based stuff started at an estimated £180+.
Good luck.
