Will you like to have a go yourself? There's a few guys like myself who know how and have done it for ourselves so can give you advice. Won't help if you're all thumbs but.
as walfootrot said rods are built from the butt up and new grips and seats can't be put on from the butt end the guides need to come off and unless it's a high quality blank then it's not worth it.

rod repairs
Paul d,
Bluewater Myaree do rod repairs. they have quite a bit of gear so should have what you need. Never used them so cant comment on price etc...
There is also always a guy on gumtree under fishing, who advertises his services. Might be worth a look?
cheers

Reel seat and grip, you will
Reel seat and grip, you will need to remove all the eyes to fit new ones, will cost a bit to do = full rebuild

Possible
Hmmm,
Don't know what happened above, I'll try again................................
It is possible to replace a grip from the butt end, just a bit more stuffing about, you need to machine up a mandrill to suit the rod blank.
I've replaced a bottom grip using this method.
As mentioned above, it depends what the rod is worth (or worth to you) as to whether is is worth doing.
