whats wrong with the bat? i would normally say get the sand paper out if it's just a few surface cracks. Other than that i believe Yash informed me that puma do a good service for £25.

this is what yash posted

I recommend a professional refurb as they sand and polish the bat again and put new stickers, toe guard and grip.

"I love Puma for this. They charge only £20 and give a top job - oiling (with a bit of knocking in if required), sanding, new toe guard, new grip, stickers, facing and next day delivery.....This is what I call value for money. The turn around time id 4 days!!!

Hope the other big brand batmakers are listening......"

if i was you, i would get in touch with hunts county. as they would be the only company who replace the correct stickers and they would probably have the best knowledge on what to do to it as well.

i do the occassional refurb and all i use is hand sandpaper, but if you value the bat quite highly and do not want to risk getting it wrong, i would advise getting it done professionally or using electrical sanders as they are much more accurate...

Try Chase as they're pretty near to Southampton. This will save you £15 on postage.
