Can engine valves be replaced/reworked?

I've done research and I figured I'd get another opinion on it. I've read that it can be done but, when my 2.2 Ecotec come up with a bent valve, the mechanic said that it couldn't be fixed. I forget the valve ms that he said were bent. Is there a type of valve that can't be replaced or fixed or is he just trying to milk as much money as he can?

Would replacing the whole head fix that problem?
How and why did the valves get bent? Was that before they tried to replace the timing chain, or afterwards? It's easy to make a mistake doing this chain and end up with damage. It's also possible depending on the age of the engine and wear that just replacing the chain and guides might not have resulted in a satisfactory repair.
