Before you book
Shoulder repairs depend on the severity of the crack and the bat’s condition. Please send us clear photos on WhatsApp so we can confirm the best option before you send it.
Sending your bat
Please contact us before posting your bat so we can confirm the correct service and provide the latest send-in details. You can also arrange a confirmed drop-off in Gloucester.
Most repairs are typically turned around within 5–10 working days depending on workload and repair type. In peak season, turnaround can be longer. Return shipping is charged at checkout and we return bats via a secure, insured courier service.
We have an outstanding reputation for repairs, but we can’t guarantee the longevity of a bat after repair due to the nature of cricket and willow. Completed bats must be collected or arranged for return within 3 months of repair completion.
