Before & after

A real customer bat

This one came in with a split handle, edge cracks and a toe that had taken on water. Handle replaced, cracks stabilised and sealed, face sanded back and re-oiled, new grip fitted. Drag the handle to see the difference.

Three steps

How it works

Book

Tell us what the bat needs using the form below, or call the shop. We'll confirm the price before any work starts.

Send or drop off

Post it to the workshop or bring it into the shop. Either way you get a reference and a photo once it's on the bench.

Returned match-ready

Repaired, sealed, oiled and knocked in where asked. Most bats are back with you inside a week.

Questions

Before you send it

Most standard work — knocking-in, fittings, a clean-up — turns around in three to five working days. Handle replacements and structural repairs take up to ten, because the splice has to cure properly before the bat is re-bound and finished.
