Depends on the damage. There are a few shops that do resurfacing/reconditioning but that does nothing if you have excessive chrome flaking. There use to be a company that offered a coating service (cermet) it was crazy expensive depending on which coating you wanted and from what I heard didn't hold up to well. You best bet if you do have excessive wear is to source out a set of good used housings since new ones are extremely rare and pricey or you can get a set of 13b housings that have been killed to 12a spec.

This is probably the only option for "repaired" housings you will find.
79-85 12A Rx7 Re-Tooled Rotor Housing (ARE128)
You may have to hunt down some used ones, or a whole engine.
