VX2000 lens blemish Can't Post

I've got a small blemish on the lens of my VX2000, approx 4mm circle. It's not scratched but it look like a bit of the coating has gone. It shows up especially when shooting towards the sun or a bright light. Maybe I've rubbed it too much during cleaning.

Is there a "DIY" option for recoating?
Can the lens be recoated by a repair shop or do I just need a new lens?
Any idea of the cost of a replacement lens?
Is there anywhere in Thailand or the UK other than Sony themselves that could do the repair?

thanks
