Got my bat repaired for a crack coming down from below the splice join, n got the whole bat servicing done including a handle replacement to bring it back to new, due to the nature of the crack we all knew it could last one ball or a few more seasons, there was no guarantee. It broke 9 days later and I took it back in and he offered to do the same repair plus add dowels for extra strength through for free and I just paid for thread banding to wrap around which he installed for free too, he was easy and lovely to deal with and clearly knows what hes doing when it comes to cricket bats! Id happily pay 250$ again to get everything I had done, the bat feels amazing since! Very happy!
