Keep the connection.
Cleaver Cricket began with a simple belief: everyday cricketers deserve quality equipment and personal service. That same belief guides every repair today.

Custom bats.
A future built on craft.
Repairing willow teaches you what makes a bat personal. We’re working toward custom bat manufacturing, with more details to come.
Before you send your bat
A few useful answers.
Can every damaged bat be repaired?
Not always. The type of damage, remaining wood and previous repairs all matter. Send details first so we can discuss whether repair is worthwhile. A physical inspection may change the recommendation.
How much will my repair cost?
Browse our services and prices, including handle replacement from $60, full refurbishment at $80 and binding from $15 each. Additional damage and shipping are discussed separately. Confirm the scope before sending your bat.
Can I drop off locally?
Yes. Local drop-off and collection in Queens Village are by appointment only. Contact us to arrange a time.
How long does a repair take?
Timing depends on the repair, curing requirements and workshop workload. We’ll discuss an estimated turnaround before you commit.
