We are your one-stop shop for all your cricket bat needs, from preparation to refurbishments and handle replacements. Our work is renowned for its quality, which is why numerous first-class and international cricketers trust us.
If you would like Fantail to repair your bat but are unsure if it is repairable or what to purchase, please use the support box located at the bottom left-hand side of your screen and include a few pictures of your bat/s.
PLEASE NOTE: We offer a crack repair service, not a crack prevention service. We don't provide any warranty on our crack repairs as we can't control what the willow will do, but we do our best to ensure they hold for as long as possible. Crack repairs are a temporary solution. We'd recommend purchasing a new bat if you want a permanent solution. For further details, please get in touch with us before placing your order.
