Every little town in Asia has a welder/ brazer who can fix anything steel. Won't be fancy or lasting most likely of course.
I broke my fork near the top at the same spot 2 times in Vietnam and again in the middle of Chengdu. Average cost was $10. It was rusting along the way as well.
The first break was perfectly clean, like cutting paper with scissors. My drum brake was too good, but the fork was made really poorly also.
CF repair is mostly about supplies than skill. It might depend if you are tight for tire clearance.
I did a test with wrapping CF around a broken fork. Then 2 days later whacked hard it with a hammer. ZERO dent.
