What's this repair for? Knocking in is required on all cricket bats. You can either spend the time yourself to look after it or let me look after it for you. What we do: Oil, machine knock in and do some hand knocking to toe and edges. The bat will be ready to go into the nets against old balls but needs to be worked through before using in a game. This takes 2-3 days to complete. Please don't send your bat with an applied facing as the knocking in machine will damage the facing. If you bat has a facing applied please also add a resleeve to your order. Please don't send your bat in a bat cover. Covers get separated from bats around the workshop and we can't guarantee yours will come back to you. Post or drop off the bare bat only.
