Clean Face
Give your Cricket bat a fresh look for the season. This not only improves the look but also the lifespan of your bat as we seal any surface cracks and nourish the face with a fresh coat of oil, slowing down the rate of cracking during the season.
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. If you need further details, please get in touch with us before placing an order.
PROCESS:
- We start by sanding down the playing surface of the bat to bare wood, leaving the stickers intact.
- Repair - any surface cracks. This service does not include fixing cracks that would come under our crack repair service. If your bat has a crack you will need to purchase a crack repair service along with this service
- Refinish - the face bat to make it look like new
- Apply a light coat of oil to the playing surface
- Facing Applied (optional extra)
- Toe Guard Applied (optional extra)
