Workshop Services
Bring a bat back to life.
CBM started at the repair bench; that’s the craft CBM’s reputation was built on. We’ll repair, refurbish, rehandle, lighten or restore any cricket bat, from any maker. Free appraisal first. No pressure to buy anything new while it’s on the bench.
The original craft.
CBM was born in the workshop and quickly earned a reputation for bat repairs and tune-ups, extending the life of many a written-off blade and returning bats to playing standard. The selling came later. The fixing has never stopped.
If your bat is cracked, dead, badly toed, ringing wrong off the middle, or just feeling tired after a long season. Bring it to us. We’ll tell you straight whether it’s worth the work.
Every job is quoted at the bench. No guesswork, no hidden costs.
Three steps. No surprises.
01 · Get in touch
Send a few photos via WhatsApp
Front, back, edges, toe, and a close-up of any damage. We’ll tell you on the spot whether it’s an obvious yes, an obvious no, or one we need to see in person.
02 · Drop it in
By appointment, or by post
Workshop visits are by appointment; tell us when works for you. Out-of-area customers post the bat in; we cover return postage on jobs over £60.
03 · Free appraisal
Free quote, no pressure
We assess the bat and quote the work. If it’s not worth doing, we say so. You owe us nothing for the look. Turnaround varies by workload; we’ll give you a realistic timeframe when we quote.
Send us a photo. Get a straight answer.
Tell us what’s wrong with the bat, or what you want done to it, and we’ll come back with a price and a turnaround.
