There's a guy in Berlin who offers such a service: 
<http://www.prodigy-pro.com/diy/index.php?topic=37108.0>. He started 
out mostly focusing on creating boards to repair/recreate older audio 
equipment, but he's turned it into a general PCB service. He actually 
prefers Illustrator, PDFs or even scans of boards over Gerber files. 
He's a musician, and his language may be a bit flowery at times, but 
there's nothing wrong with the quality of his work.

Note that he doesn't do solder masks (yet), but neither will anyone 
else with an etch tank. This may or may not create leakage 
susceptibility, depending on your circuit and whatever post-treatment 
you give the board.
