I don't think you will anybody to repair a seat post.
Apart from anything else, it wouldn't make financial sense.

Exactly, with carbon repairs costing €300 or more I don't know why you would want a seat post repaired.

Hmmm... Am i reading wrong? He says seatstays not seat post? That's makes a difference imo.

Edit: now it's clear .

Carbontec do superb and quality repairs. https://www.facebook.com/carbontecire/
Fixed mine and its as good as new.

Beware cheap and cheerful offers as you really need it done properly.
Lots of bodge jobs floating around out there...

Only you can answer to that . How much you like your frame? How prepared your budget are etc.
Try to check multiple sources to get idea. And at the end of the day you can fix it yourself ( seatstays are probably the easiest to repair). Check YT.

What make/model and age frame is it? If it’s a newish high end frame then €350 might be a reasonable price but for something a few years old and not particularly high end then it’d make more sense to buy a new frame set.

I got a carbon seat tube and down tube repaired by these people a few years ago.
I would highly recommend them.

I think, there's a chap in Julianstown, that does carbon bike repairs.
He's on the left side of the road just past the village, heading south, beside the coal yard.
I know nothing about him, but handy for you. It might be worth your while looking him up.

Edit.
I've just realised that this is the chap that ted 1 is talking about

I'd assume it means he wants the frame only, but I'd say if you asked him he'd tell you...

Mine was a Canyon, same finish.
Cycleplus did a great job, matching the finish, virtually indistinguishable from original.

I'm in Drogheda, if you want to have a look at my repaired bike.

I'll get in touch with them thanks eamonn.

As I remember, I only had to take the wheels off the bike.

Wayne at http://www.cycleplus.ie/ is a great guy and mechanic. I’d definitely recommend him.

Just to update, I got my frame repaired by carbon composites Ireland in julianstown at a very reasonable price,and to be honest they did an excellent job and I would highly recommend them. Thanks everyone for their advice.
