Cricket Bat Refurbishment: Removing the Stickers

The journey of cricket bat refurbishment starts with peeling away the old to make way for the new. Removing the stickers isn't just a process of stripping away the bat's branding; it's about preparing the surface for a thorough assessment and subsequent treatment.

This stage is crucial and requires a gentle touch to ensure the willow isn’t damaged, setting the stage for the transformation.

Sanding the Willow

Once the stickers are removed, the next step in cricket bat refurbishment is sanding the willow. This process helps in eliminating any minor imperfections on the surface and prepping the wood for repairs.

At Trogon Cricket, this is done with a combination of skilled craftsmanship and precision tools to ensure an even and smooth finish, maintaining the integrity of the bat's blade.

Cricket Bat Refurbishment: Repairing Any Damaged Areas

After the bat has been sanded, attention is turned towards cricket bat repairs. This can range from fixing small dents and cracks to more complex issues such as handle repairs.

Trogon Cricket's specialists meticulously inspect and repair any damage using professional-grade materials, ensuring the bat is restored not only in appearance but in structure and strength.

Polishing the Bat

Once repairs are completed, the bat is polished to give it a shop look finish. This step in cricket bat refurbishment not only enhances the bat's aesthetic appeal but also provides a protective layer that can extend the lifespan of the willow. The polished surface also enables better performance and provides a slick, professional look.

Applying New Stickers

A cricket bat's identity is often associated with its stickers – the hallmark of the brand and the player's personal flair. As part of the cricket bat refurbishment, new stickers are applied with precision.

Applying Protection If Required

Apply new protection to a cricket bat – this is a request that Trogon Cricket takes very seriously. Whether it's a new anti-scuff sheet or fibre tape, toe guard, protecting the face and edges of the bat is vital.

This protection aids in mitigating the wear from constant impact, especially for those who play regularly and especially on wet pitches where moisture damage can cause havoc to the toe of your bat.

Applying New Grip If Required

The grip is the cricketer's direct connection to the bat, and it's essential for maintaining control and comfort. Cricket bat refurbishment often includes replacing the old, worn-out grip with a new one.

Trogon Cricket offers a variety of grips to suit individual preferences, ensuring the bat feels as good as new in the player's hands.
