Our Full Range of Bat Services

Whether your bat needs pre-season preparation, structural repair, or simply a fresh look, our comprehensive services have you covered.

Preparation & Essential Maintenance

These services are vital for preparing a new bat and preserving the health of a used one.

Knocking-In: This crucial service involves controlled application of force to compress and harden the willow fibres across the bat's face and edges, significantly increasing its durability and power.

Oiling: Application of raw linseed oil to replenish the wood's natural moisture, which is essential for preventing the willow from drying out, cracking, and splintering.

Light Sanding: A quick service to gently clean the surface of the bat, removing minor scuffs and preparing the wood for re-oiling or protective sheets.

Full Bat Sand: Complete, deep sanding of the entire blade to remove deep marks, old residue, and coatings, restoring a perfectly clean and smooth wood surface.

Protection & Structural Reinforcement

Protecting the vulnerable areas of your bat is the best way to extend its lifespan.

Edges (Repair and Reinforcement): Dedicated service for fixing minor edge damage and reinforcing the area to prevent future splits.

Extratec: Professional fitting of a durable, clear anti-scuff sheet to the bat face for robust defense against ball impact.

Fibre Tape: Application of high-strength fibre tape precisely along the edges to provide structural support and prevent splitting.

Toe Super Glue (Sealing): Treating and sealing the bat's toe with specialized glue to prevent moisture absorption and stop minor cracks from spreading.

Shoulder Fix: Repair and reinforcement service specifically targeting splits or cracks in the critical shoulder area of the bat.

Chemical Cleaning: A thorough process to remove all old stickers, residue, and glue, followed by detailed sanding for a complete strip-down and clean finish.

Repair, Restoration & Customisation

If your bat is damaged or you require custom modifications, our technicians can bring it back to life and tailor its feel to your game.

Minor Crack Fixture: Precision gluing and clamping to address small, hairline cracks and splits on the face or edges, preventing the damage from escalating.

Major Crack Repair: Expert, comprehensive repair for significant structural damage to the blade or face of the bat, restoring its integrity. 

Handle Foam: Adding or replacing foam inside the handle/shoulder cavity for enhanced shock absorption and reinforcement.

Rehandling: Replacing a broken, loose, or whippy handle with a new one to restore the bat's original balance, comfort, and power transfer.

Oval Handling: Customising the handle shape to an oval profile during a rehandle service, which many players prefer for improved control and grip.

Threading (Inches): Reinforcing the handle's splice area with strong nylon thread for added structural integrity and durability.

Weight Reduction: Carefully shaving and reshaping the blade to reduce the overall weight and adjust the pickup, catering the bat's feel to your specific needs.

Grip Installation: Professional and secure fitting of a new bat grip of your choice, ensuring a perfect fit.
