Actually, it won't take all that long, and it is a great learning experience. I bet it would take you far longer to sort out a wheel or find someone else to do it, take it to them, pick it up again and earn the dosh to pay them.
You might want that aggressive stone I said you wouldn't need, but even with a 1000 grit that isn't going to take more than an hour of patient grinding on your whetstone.
Also you've nothing to lose.
You'll be a master sharpener in an evening.
I've reground edges in far worse state by hand in not that long (although I do have some very aggressive stones!)

Yes, that's what I was thinking.
Anyone have a grinding wheel and fancy giving this a go? Or know of a place which might do this?
