Like I said in the earlier post maybe it's the wording just comes across as your saying your repairs will be a higher quality but that may not be what you are meaning to come across

Other people will offer repairs/refurbs cheaper as it is not there main source of income unlike yourself not knocking you at all as have not sampled your services but hit4six did a few of mine last season and was a first class job all the way plus there are the bat makers/sellers on the forum who offer this service aswell as doing a good job on the smaller things like this can get you a good reputation and help generate sales but may be wrong

okay i'm going to stop replying to negative stuff as it's not constructive.

i reiterate comments from other members that bats needing multiple repairs such as a new handle, split toe, full refurb and new face and edge tape for £35 plus carriage is good value.

sounds like the customer can benefit in many ways and forms from that price...

lets be positive or not bother...

Don't run off Dom at the first sign of questioning, I'm happy for you to prove me wrong, I just don't really see the benefit of your proposal but do sell it to me.

If you have a branded bat you can send it back to the brand for all this for a lesser or similar price, you get to deal with the people that made your bat and therefore the most knowledgeable with regard to it, you get to talk first hand to the person repairing your bat and they can ask or answer questions directly and you get a quicker service as it does not need to make multiple postage journeys.

If you have a bat which does not have a dedicated brand owner or agent in the UK then any of the above brand owners would still be able to offer their services.

On the positive side, it's great that you offer a service that's slightly different and competes on that level (toe, handle, refurb for that price)

But please remember that this is a forum and everything is open to discussion. You are new and therefore people are posting points that they are currious about, and in fact some posts I sometimes see are very constructive if you read between the lines. There are alot of very reliable people who offer some great services on this forum, so the fact that people are discussing your service in itself is a positive thing, and means that people are taking you seriously! I would be more worried for you if nobody was replying to anything in your topics!  :(

I guess it's all about getting yourself established in your own right.

Talisman, Hit4six and a few others offer very high standards with the services they provide - I have used three of them for refurbs and even rehandling, and their level of service was faultless!! So it's never going to be as easy as on less informed forums. So don't see things as negative....there are simply discussions taking place!

I entered the competition and didn’t think much more of it as I never tend to win anything until one morning I received a message telling me that I was the winner of the free bat refurbishment by Bat Repairs. Dom was very pleasant, knowledgeable and easy to chat to as I enquired as to what I needed to do and was told to list everything that needed doing and send the bat off.

My Hawk X10 bat is around 5 years old, weighs 2lb 7oz and like most Hawks has proven very durable. Although it has lasted really well I thought it was nearing its final days as it had a long crack along one outside edge, one near the handle but the most worrying thing was the toe had a series of horizontal cracks. At the end of every season I give it a cursory light sand before its winter hibernation but don’t have the skills to do much more than tape up any cracks that occurred. Here are pictures of the bat before I sent it off:







 

About 10 days after I sent the bat off it was returned to me and I was and am exceedingly impressed with the service given by Bat Repairs.

The bat has been stripped back and all the cracks have been sorted out with the outside edge being pinned and glued but the toe area amazed me the most. Before the refurb the toe was in quite a state but now it looks like the toe of a bat again! It has had a new anti-scuff, new stickers and a new grip applied and all in all I couldn’t be happier with the work done on the bat.

Here are the pictures of the refurb:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Having received a free bat refurbishment I am obviously going to be positive about my experience but trying to be objective, I can honestly say that the standard of the refurbishment is such that I would not hesitate in recommending Bat Repairs to anyone considering getting their bat refurbished and I think considering that for all the work that has been done to my bat that the price is good value indeed.

If you go on the Bat Repairs facebook page you will also be able to see the before and after photos.

Thank you very much to Bat Repairs for such a great prize!

Sending the GN Xiphos off for this service, it will be paid for and I will provide both a description of what is requested and a before and after review.

I think that will provide a fairly objective stand point.
