The cost of a valve job varies greatly. You can spend $1k+ and send your head off to Alaniz tech, Portflow, Endyn, etc... for porting which will include a quality valve job, or you can go with the local machine shop, which will almost certainly be cheaper, but also almost certainly less "specialized" in Honda heads. If you're just looking for cheap then I'd go with just a 3 angle valve seat cut at whichever local machine shop you get the best impression from. Likely cost around $300. A bent valve could be as simple as replacement of the one valve for a cost of $30ish. Unfortunately things are seldom this simple and for a valve to bend it takes contact with something, usually a piston. You'll really need to get it apart to asess damage to the head & block. Have the valve guides checked and repleace the valve seals while you're in there. Good luck.
