It’s not getting enough compression in one of the valves

It all depends on why you have low compression in one of your cylinders. If it's a cracked head, that would be a replace. If it's a burnt valve then it's head work. If it's a bad head gasket, then you might not need anything more than a head gasket.

Until things are checked out, there isn't a way to answer your question accurately.
