it's pretty simple.  use calipers to measure the diameter of the tip and order from ebay.  we have a guy on the east side of san jose that's a rod builder, but i've done hack jobs before and they work for simple stuff.

Heat up the tip, pull it off and hot glue on the new one! Tips are one you can do yourself.
