Differential specialty shop is where I would go. Get their estimate. Where I live you could be looking over 1k. Some guys in the States could sort it out for half that.

Everything can be fixed. Most don't know how to replace the parts or don't have the proper tools so they find a used complete rear. Also parts get expensive plus the labor so it may be cheaper to replace with a used rear. There is a sticker in the door opening and it will have an axle code or there should have been a tag on the rear itself. That will tell you the ratio and you can check used parts yards.
