The most expensive option is the brand dealer's shop. Get the gasket plus sealing agent from an independent part dealer and have any mediocre mechanic do the job. It's quite easy and shouldn't take more than 15 mins.

LOL..... you really need to re-read that @Killjoy, that’s tosh you’re talking.

needs a head gasket, oil filter, oil, coolant and associated bits ..... around €80 to €120.... and if the mechanic deems necessary 10x new head bolts at €5 to €8 each.

1.4 16v corsa twin port head gasket Replacement  is cica 8.2 hrs in skilled hands plus skimming and testing the head. 
Do the maths.
