Details of the repair services we offer.
1. Anti-Scuff Fitted
Adding an anti-scuff sheet is one of the most effective ways to protect a bat’s surface. It acts as a transparent shield against minor scuffs and cracks, keeping the willow intact for longer.
2. Cricket Bat Rehandle and Full Service
A snapped or loosened handle can drastically affect your stroke play. Our Cricket Bat Rehandle and Full Service revitalise your bats by installing a fresh handle, carrying out any necessary repairs, and polishing everything to a near-new finish. We can also add our Trogon Cricket stickers or apply your own branding for an additional fee.
3. Repair Simple Cracks
Even small cracks can worsen if left untreated. With our Simple Crack Repair, we carefully fill, glue, and reinforce minor damages, restoring the bat’s original integrity. Although toe guards and anti-scuff sheets aren’t included here, you can add them for extra protection.
4. Resize Your Old Cricket Bat
If you have an older bat that’s gathering dust or an oversized piece of willow that could suit a young cricketer, our Resizing Service is the perfect solution. We can reduce it to sizes 3, 4, 5, or 6, ensuring it’s appropriately scaled and comfortable for a developing player. This service retains the bat’s classic feel while giving the next generation the chance to learn and grow with quality cricket bats.
5. Full Cricket Bat Service & Winter Service
After a tough season or ahead of a new one, a Full Cricket Bat Service & Winter Service can breathe life into your favourite bat. Old stickers are peeled away, splits or cracks are expertly repaired, and the blade is sanded for smoothness. We can add an anti-scuff sheet, F/G tape, and a toe guard if needed, then finish it off with fresh stickers—choose from our designs, use your own, or request custom ones (for an extra fee). It’s the comprehensive tune-up your bat deserves.
6. Reshape of Cricket Bat Handle
Sometimes, the difference between an ordinary bat and a perfect fit lies in the handle’s shape. Our Handle Reshaping service transforms round handles to oval (or vice versa), depending on your preference. We remove old twine, refine the handle, and rewrap it.
7. Cricket Bat Weight Reduction
If your bat feels a tad heavy, our Weight Reduction service can remove up to 3oz from the back without compromising balance. We’ll sand and polish for a sleek finish, then replace stickers with fresh Trogon designs or your own.
With Trogon Cricket, you can trust your bat is in the hands of specialists who love the game as much as you do. Turn to us for a prompt, reliable repair service and get back to dominating the crease with renewed confidence. Book your cricket bat service today and discover how seamless and satisfying bat maintenance can be!
What our customers say about us.
Andrew Glyn-jones
A true craftsman who has such a passion for his trade. I purchased a new bat last season (not trogon) but just wasn’t getting on with the handle size. From discussions with Len he’s completely reshaped the handle. It’s such an improvement to have in hand and the pick up and balance is so much better as a result. He kept me up to date with progress at all stages and turned it around so quickly. Thanks again.

Lenny was awesome. Was able to visit him personally and see the workshop where we spent ages talking bats and kit in general.
Got to look through all the bats in stock and ended up picking out a stunning grade 2, which could've passed for higher grades from other brands.
The pressing on all his bats is amazing and they 'ping' before any knocking in is required so once full preparation is done they're only going to get better with use.
He can do any shape and profile requested for custom mades and has a wide range of templates and examples that you're able to see beforehand so you get the full tailored experience.
He's local to me in Sussex so I urge any of the Sussex sides players to go visit him and support someone local and independent rather than maybe picking the big names. His bats are made with love and care for us as club cricketers, giving us the pro treatment as part of the package. A pleasure to support as I'm someone who loves the game and supporting the smaller businesses. Will buy again when softs arrive and pick up a 2nd bat as they're that good!

I would highly recommend Trogon Cricket and Len. I needed a new handle and a winter refurb on my bat after a few years of neglect. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and the service that was given to me. Len sent regular video updates of the process the bat was going through and talking me through the steps and decisions he had taken. The service provided felt very personal and i would not hesitate to use Len or recommend his services again. Thanks again.
