If you can't find a local luthier,then don't be afraid to travel to get them repaired.
Have a look here, or do an I/net search :- http://www.luthierdirectory.co.uk/ca...om/south-east/,

Not in your area, but I specialize in bowlbacks, and postage is probably cheaper than a long car drive anyway...
I am in NW London, if that's any use. Not that close I know, but...
