Advice for Broken Chainstay Repair

OK, I know it's near impossible to know for sure what can be done from just a photo but looking for a fix for this broken Reynolds 725 chainstay. Break is between the two pieces of blue tape. Any chance this can maybe be welded reliably by a skilled bike specialist? Would a carbon fiber wrap (by me) be a possibility? Looking to avoid the cost and loss of all the paint with a stay replacement but if that is what is necessary then that's what I'll have done. Any recommended frame repair experts from San Diego to Los Angeles area? Bike is 13 yrs old/31k miles, I weigh 210 all geared up and no crashes other than a few tip overs so I'm a little disappointed this hasn't lasted longer being steel. Oh well. Thanks.
