Bottom bracket thread

I recently decided to change the groupset on a second hand trek 2005 SLR I bought a while ago. However the thread on my bottom bracket is messed up ( https://imgur.com/a/rablt ). When I tried to get the new bottom bracket in there it wouldn't go straight. Can I get my bottom brackets re-threaded? Is this often successful? Can you let me know what you think based on the photos.

    Exactly - personally I'd get them to re-tap, face and install the new b/b all in a oner.

    Probably cost 30 mins labour.
