If you are handy with a soldering iron I think it's not too hard to do yourself? A friend of mine had a nicad pack that was all run down. He popped it open and it was just made up of a bunch of smaller cells soldered together. He went to a local battery specialty place and they sold him NiMH batteries of the same size and he was able to put it together himself. They would have done it for him I think without charging too much.
I did this once with an old drill; was a pain in the rear end to solder without cooking the batteries, but worked well enough and lasted longer than the original battery did. It really wasn't all that much cheaper buying individual NiMH w/solder tabs vice having it professionally rebuild; I'd probably just send it off if I did it again.
