The only person in the world who seems to offer commercial lathe cut records at an affordable price for short-run releases is Peter King in New Zealand. All the info here:

Apparently tho it takes a LONG time for your order to finally come back as cut records. Someone recently posted on the iheartnoise.com board advertising their Peter King record and said it'd taken 8 months!

From your message it sounds like you just need one single record cut?? Might be your best bet is to search for "dubplate" cutting services... intended for DJ's, you can get single records cut. Not super cheap, around £20-30ish it seems. varies depending on size of record etc.

For example, just whatever came up first on google a couple of places in the UK that does them:
