Broke Laptop DC power jack

My laptop fell off my bed today while it was plugged into the power cord. Unfortunately this broke the pin inside the laptop where the power cord plugs into. The pin is straight but its loose and wobbles.

The laptop is a Gateway NV59. (NV5911h)
Its almost 3 years old, but has served me well.

According to my research I need a new DC power jack. Further research has shown that its soldered to the motherboard and needs the entire laptop to be disassembled and a new one soldered on.

I don't think I have the necessary skills to handle this task.
I was also looking into replacing the entire motherboard itself if its around the same value of repair.

Does anyone know of a good, reliable computer repair place that can fix this?
Located in Surrey preferably but willing to travel if positive reviews.

Thanks
