ive done it and yes it is a bitch...
you have to remove the cams and buckets then i used two screwdrivers (big ones) and pushed down either side on top of the spring cap to get the colets out pain in the ass but the spring compressor tool doesnt fit in there unless u got one of the ones where u need the head off
make sure u put the cyliner ur doin on tdc and use a tool to put where the spark plug goes hooked up to a compressor to keep the valve up

assuming i have piston at TDC and the valve falls in, would it fall in all the way??

Is this the sort of thing that a workshop would happily do? with the right tools and experience? Or would it be seen as just as big PITA and charge a lot of labour?

This is the sort of job that mechanics will rather pass on, or make a big bundle in labour.
Maybe not over there, but all teh lazy mechanics here in tas wouldn't do my friends celica valve stem seals. Exept for one and he quated about $2000. Fuck that!
So i did them for my friend for mates rates $500, still i think i'd pass on doing them with the head on too. (gen1 3sge anyway)
Cost about $140-190ish for all 16 valve stem seals for the gen1 3sge. Toyota is the place to get ripped off at for valve stem seals

Find your local cylinder head repair place(Yellow Pages), they will probably sell you a complete VRS(Valve Regrind Set) kit for less than Toyota charge.
Or if you know the diameter of the valves (hint, check your overhaul manual) your head shop may be able to supply just the valve stem seals,for a coupla bucks each.
