Replacing a bridge does not require taking the piano to the shop.  The
time and materials would be somewhat greater, but this is one case where
you might want to give them champagne for their beer budget just for the
experience benefit to you.  Maybe split the difference.

I've epoxied bridges before....... once jammed a wedge between the back
edge of the bridge and the plate in an old Acrosonic to close a crack in
the back row of bridge pins.  Restored the offset.  No more buzz. 
Thought it might work loose, but hasn't so far.
