Handle Replacement

Have you got a cricket bat with a handle that is broken or cracked? We will replace your old handle with a brand new high-quality Manu cane handle

If your bat has cracks running down the shoulders onto the blade, you also require a minor crack repair.

PLEASE NOTE: We offer a 12-month warranty on handle replacements as long as there wasn't any previous damage to the shoulders or neck of the bat. If you send in a bat without a handle, it will be replaced with a standard SH length unless you let us know otherwise. Any stickers covering the splice will be removed and thrown away. If you'd like to keep the stickers and or grips, please remove them before sending/dropping off your bat/s.

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. If you need further details, please get in touch with us before placing an order. 

PROCESS:

1. Remove - The existing broken handle & stickers covering the splice
2. Glue - A new Singapore Manu cane handle into place
3. Shape - The handle to your specified shape
4. Full Refurbishment - Sand, polish and fix any minor surface cracks on the bat (Optional)
5. Bind - The new handle with a high-quality thread
6. Grip - Apply a new grip of your choice

If you'd like to get some custom stickers made, one of our loyal customers often uses Super Signs in Pukekohe, NZ. They can help with one-off bat stickers, If you're interested contact Ryan at design.supersigns@gmail.com
