Repairs & refurbishment

Cricket bat repairs, done properly

From a small edge knock to a complete refurbishment, every repair is carried out by hand, with playing performance front of mind throughout.

What Ben repairs

Structural cracks in the face or spine are properly bonded and reinforced, restoring strength without ruining the bat's natural pickup.

Chipped or cracked edges are rebuilt and reshaped so the bat plays true off the edge again, not just cosmetically patched.

Splayed or damaged toes are rebuilt and protected, dealing with one of the most common causes of a bat's early retirement.

Loose, cracked or worn handles are repaired or replaced and regripped, so the bat feels secure and connected through the swing.

Worn or damaged binding around the handle is stripped back and rebound, restoring both looks and structural support.

Careful sanding back and re-oiling on the correct schedule keeps the willow protected and playing at its best.

Proper, patient knocking-in compresses the fibres and prepares the face to face fast bowling without breaking down early.

A fresh anti-scuff sheet, properly fitted, protects the face and extends the life of any repair or refurbishment.

Everything above, combined: a complete overhaul that takes a tired bat back to genuinely excellent playing condition.
