How much will it cost to repair my TV in Dublin?
We’ve only found one TV repair service in Dublin that offers an online quote, and it’s €129.99 plus additional costs for replacement part/s.
Most TV repair services in Dublin don’t provide a fixed price because so many factors affect repair costs, including:
- TV brand: More expensive brands often cost more to repair.

Top TV Repair Services in Dublin
We reviewed highly rated TV repair technicians in Dublin and evaluated them based on the following criteria:
Please note that most TV repair technicians in Dublin don’t provide quotes online. We assessed this criterion through direct trial and customer feedback, whether they express satisfaction with the cost or not, to get popular perspectives instead of just ours.
1. PlasmaCare
| TV TYPES SERVICED | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| QUALITY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| VALUE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
In 2005, it became apparent to TV technician Seamus Gilroy that CRT TVs were due to be obsolete and plasma and LCD TVs were bound to take their place. He then founded PlasmaCare to cater to these then-emerging technologies.
We found that there’s plenty to like about the repair service. First is that they offer their services at a reasonable price.
They charge less than £299 (€356) for a 42-inch television, for example.
One client was happy to have his old TV upgraded into a smart TV—a cost-efficient alternative to buying a new TV that helped him save hundreds.
Another thing we like about the repair shop is that they go the extra mile. One client told us he was impressed that they fixed his TV’s standby light even though he didn’t mention the problem to them.
Among their efforts to help their clients save, they also offer to reach out to your TV manufacturer for cost assistance if your product warranty has just expired. All you have to do is provide the receipt for your unit.
If it’s more economical to buy a new TV than to repair your old one, they can take your broken unit off your hands because they are also recyclers. If yours is a plasma TV, they can fix it and resell it reconditioned.
The only downside we can see for this repair shop is that they don’t accept types of TVs other than plasma and LCD.
Overall, clients are very happy with their affordable services and how they help their clients save money.
We recommend them to budget-conscious customers who want reliable repairs at a reasonable price.
Pros
- Plasma and LCD TV specialists
- Collect and return service
- “No fix, no pay” guarantee
- Six months warranty
- Requests cost assistance from TV manufacturers
- Panasonic-approved service centre
- AIG Insurance-approved technician
- Large stock of original spare parts
- Registered recyclers
- Sells reconditioned plasma TVs
Cons
- Doesn’t accept all TV types
Customer Reviews
Fantastic service at a great price
“I can’t recommend this place highly enough. I had an old bathroom TV which they repaired and also converted into a modern smart TV, saving me hundreds. Fantastic service at a great price and they are so easy to deal with.” —Paul Lewis, Google review
Happy customer, no complaints
“TV had gone dead. Paid fee to cover collection/delivery as I don’t have a car. Got a text saying how much it would cost and I said OK. TV was delivered back to me a few days later working fine. There was even a standby light on the front which hadn’t been working before the telly broke and although I hadn’t mentioned it to them, the light was working when I got the tv back. Paid the balance on delivery. Happy customer no complaints. Seamus was pleasant to deal with.” —George Hughes, Google review
2. David White TV Repair
| TV TYPES SERVICED | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| QUALITY | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| VALUE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
With over 30 years of experience, David White is an expert electronics engineer. His crew claims to provide unparalleled LCD TV repair in the region, and they have firm belief in their skills that they offer a “no fix, no pay” guarantee.
We found the claims to be well-founded because clients are very satisfied with their services. A lot of them are impressed with the repair shop’s quick turnaround time, often within a day.
Definitely the biggest advantage for the repair shop is in its extended service times: open all week long from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm. This is so convenient for busy clients and those who need emergency repairs during later hours of the day.
Even with very convenient hours and fast turnaround, the repair shop’s rates remain affordable. One client was surprised when she got her TV back within five hours, as she was charged less than she expected for such quick service.
Another thing we’re happy to find is that they offer extended warranty for new up to five-year-old plasma and LCD TVs. You would want to avail of this if your original warranty has expired and want to make sure future repair costs for your unit will be covered.
The only reservation we had for this repair shop is that they won’t do repairs if they don’t have genuine parts. We understand, of course, that this is done to ensure the right fit and to maintain consistent standards.
However, it might be a thing that will make you reconsider if you’re on a limited budget and you found an alternative part that’s cheaper.
Still, we think it’s worth spending extra for genuine parts because it’s cost-effective in the long run.
We think David White and his team are true professionals who aim for quality service delivered with impressive speed.
Pros
- Specialises in LCD TV repair
- Over 30 years of experience
- Quick turnaround time
- “No fix, no pay” guarantee
- Home callout service
- Works late all week
- Buys broken TVs
- Sharp-authorised repair agent
- Offers extended warranty
Cons
- Only uses genuine parts, which can be costly
Customer Reviews
A fraction of what I thought it would cost
“I called David White after finding his number online thinking here’s another engineer that will only want money to diagnose the problem and tell me the TV is unrepairable. To my amazement David arranged to collect my TV at my home at 9am on a Saturday morning then on the same day ring me back at 2pm and say it was fixed and ready to go. He then delivered back to me all for a fraction of what I thought it was going to cost. This is a true gentleman and deserves your business. David, you saved me a new TV just after Christmas. Thank you very much.” —Todd Kelly, Google review
Repaired and delivered back within 24 hours
“For anyone looking for a television to be fixed, give this guy a call, he’s brilliant and a very nice bloke too. I rang him to have a look at a television I needed to be fixed. He collected the tele and had it repaired and delivered back to me within 24 hours. Would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a TV to be fixed.” —Dean O Callaghan, Google review
3. Bennett Audio Video Services (BAVS)
| TV TYPES SERVICED | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| QUALITY | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| VALUE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
Established in 1998, BAVS’s reputation for delivering quality repair work has been growing steadily.
Two positive points for the repair shop is that they offer in-home repair and collect and return service. Clients don’t have to leave their houses to get their TVs fixed.
Another convenient thing about them is that they have a booking form on their site, making it easy to reach out to them.
Last on this list of advantages is the repair shop is a warranty-approved service centre for major brands like Samsung.
This means that the manufacturers refer clients to the shop when they need repairs for their TVs within their warranty period.
Being warranty-approved is a good indication that major manufacturers trust their work and it meets the manufacturers’ standards.
However, one drawback for this repair shop is their non-refundable deposit.
We understand that diagnosis isn’t easy and requires expert knowledge. Some clients may take issue with this, though.
One client was upset about paying a €25 deposit for his device to be diagnosed, and he found out that it couldn’t be fixed because of an unavailable part.
We must note that before clients pay, the technicians inform them that the amount is nonrefundable, so this should be expected. However, some clients may overlook this.
Another thing that may make you reconsider is that they had some instances of miscommunication with clients.
Although there are many clients who commend their staff for being friendly and helpful, some clients didn’t have the same experience.
One client was unhappy about having to wait for more than a week to get his TV back. The technicians explained belatedly that this was because there were complications in the delivery of a TV part.
We think the client would be less disappointed if the team had updated him regularly. Better communication might have kept the client satisfied with their service.
But some exceptions aside, the repair shop delivers satisfactory service especially for straightforward fixes. One client was impressed that his TV was fixed on the same day.
We suggest that if you choose them for complex repairs, make sure to keep in touch so you’ll stay well-informed.
Pros
- LG, Samsung, Sony and TCL-trained and authorised
- Warranty-approved service centre for Samsung, Toshiba, LG, and Sony
- In-home repair
- Collect and return service
Cons
- Servicing limited TV brands
- Non-refundable deposit
- Needs better communication with clients

4. Craigavon TV Service Centre Ltd
| TV TYPES SERVICED | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
| QUALITY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| VALUE | ★★★★☆ (4/5) |
Craigavon TV Service Centre Ltd serves Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, including Dublin.
Because they operate in such a large area, they offer a collect and return service. Clients praise them for the excellent and safe handling of their units.
With over 40 years of experience, the repair shop is a go-to for manufacturers like Sony and LG.
The technicians are proud to share that they are the sole Samsung Premier Service Centre in Ireland and have been invited to the manufacturer’s headquarters in Korea.
This is a good indication that the brand trusts their services and their workshop meets the manufacturer’s standards.
They also have a good reputation among Dublin retailers such as Harvey Norman and DID Electrical. These companies refer their clients to the workshop for Sony TV warranty repairs.
Another plus for us is that they offer free estimates, compared to other technicians who have inspection fees. You just have to complete their online form, and they will get back to you during office hours.
One drawback for this repair shop is that they have instances of poor responsiveness. One source is upset for having called the shop multiple times before resorting to finding another repair service.
It’s possible that the workshop is always busy because they cover a wide service area.
Their base location may also be another thing to consider. If you need urgent repairs, it may not be advisable to pick them.
Overall, we think they are a highly qualified repair shop with a wide reach, but even with the large scope of their service, they don’t compromise on quality.
Pros
- Free estimates
- Panasonic and Philips-approved
- Samsung Premier Service Centre
- Collect and return service
- Trusted by Dublin retailers for TV warranty repairs
Cons
- Not based in Dublin
- Issues with responsiveness
Customer Reviews
Professional, honest, and fast
“The service here is professional, honest and fast; all actions promised by Stephen on the initial phone call were followed up and delivered. I spoke with 6 members of staff in total and all were knowledgable, extremely friendly and caring. I have recommended the service to family, friends and colleagues.” —Lee Alexander, Google review
Fantastic help and polite
“Hi, I had two of your men down with me today in Dublin, they were a fantastic help and both very helpful and polite, a credit to your company, I could not tell them this as my dogs were going mad in the kitchen before they left. Please pass on my thanks to them both.” —Neil Gallagher, Google review
5. Lawless Brothers Service Centre
| TV TYPES SERVICED | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| PROFESSIONALISM | ★★★☆☆ (3/5) |
| QUALITY | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
| VALUE | ★★★★★ (5/5) |
The oldest repair shop on this list, Lawless Brothers has been fixing televisions for about 60 years. They offer one of the broadest services among our picks.
Aside from plasma and LCD TV repair, they also fix camcorders, HiFis, DJ equipment, laptop, and gaming consoles. They’re a one-stop shop for your audio and video devices needs.
One plus for the repair shop is that they offer a convenient booking form on their website.
Another plus is that most clients commend them for their friendly service, and some are so pleased with their work, they become repeat customers.
The technicians also go the extra mile for their clients. One client was impressed that the team reached out to Samsung for her TV repair.
However, there are a few drawbacks for this repair shop. First is the inspection fee.
We understand that the inspection process isn’t easy and needs expertise. However, this may be an issue for some clients.
One was upset about the €30 he spent, which he thought went to waste after he found out that his audio device’s needed replacement part was unavailable.
We understand that replacement parts’ availability is something beyond the technician’s control, but we think that the client might have been less disappointed if the complexity of the issue was communicated to him better.
Another instance of poor communication is when a client waited for more than a week to be told that it wasn’t economical to fix his gaming console.
The last thing that might make you reconsider is that because the repair shop is well-established and known for quality work, they are busy.
One client waited a week for the inspection of his AV device, but he understands replacement parts may take a while to find and still highly recommends the repair shop.
The technicians made the wait worth it because they found a replacement part at an affordable price.
Overall, we recommend Lawless Brothers for their qualifications and many years of experience. If you don’t mind the wait, you’ll be satisfied with the quality of their work.
Pros
- Plasma and LCD TV specialists
- Over 60 years of experience
- Open weekends
- Collect and return service
- Samsung-trained and Sony and Panasonic-authorised TV technicians
- Six months warranty for Samsung TVs
Cons
- Inspection fee
- Needs better communication with clients
- Busy
Customer Reviews
Fast turnaround, friendly staff
“Had a great experience – John was very responsive over email and able to give me a quote. After assessment of the job, the total price was actually less! Very fast turnaround on the TV repair and very friendly staff.” —Fiachra Duffy, Google review
Prompt and competitively priced service
“Delighted with the excellent service from John in Lawless Brothers. Both items left in are precious to us, a white TV, not easily replaced and an old and valuable Tivoli radio. He fixed them promptly and I was so happy to find someone who repairs TVs in these days of planned obsolescence. Very competitively priced too. Highly recommend Lawless Brothers.” —Lisa McGuirk, Google review
