Be good to see which companies give you the best value for money, speed of service along with quality of workmanship.

Can someone else not repair it and then sand around the stickers?

Or are you seeing if it can be replaced by gn

Not sure if that's aimed at me if so im not after a replacement although i wouldn't say no if they offered however they wont and i don't expect it either. I was given a bat from a professional who is sponsored by County the australian County that is, was hoping to have it fixed by Grays as they make them but was unsure if its worth it or not as it has a bit of damage.

yes was aimed at you, just wondered if you wanted it specifically done by GN.

yer wanted it done by GN as i hoped they could put the county stickers back on the bat so it would be as before with a repair and full refurb. Top end bat which i wont possibly ever get something like it again, wanted new sticker for it done by them though.
