Carbon Repair Services

High Quality Carbon Fibre Repairs in Otago, New Zealand


Man it sucks when you break your kit! Not to worry, don’t let it go to waste.

We offer a carbon fibre repair service for various kinds of sporting equipment. I consider this somewhat of a community service at a very fair rate as I hate to see things thrown away, so get in touch today and let's talk about what it is you’ve broken you silly goose.
This list isn’t exhaustive; if you have a carbon fibre (or fibreglass/plastic) part that you’d like me to look at, just sing out anytime and I’ll be happy to talk it over with you.

Ice Hockey Sticks

Ice hockey sticks make up a large chunk of the repair work we do. Over the years we’ve developed a method of repair which involves removing and replacing the carbon fibre inside the shaft in the vicinity of the break, leaving the repair barely visible. Unlike other methods you may have seen, our procedure features thorough consolidation of the reinforcement to remove any excess resin and optimise the finished strength. The reinforcement used is deliberately designed to replicate the original layup of the stick, hence it adds virtually no weight (approx. 5-10g), and has negligible affect on the stick flex and feel. The shaft length will be returned to original if a noticeable length of damage needs to be removed.

We can mix and match sticks and blades sometimes, where a little creativity is required (provided the shaft dimensions are close enough), so get in touch if you have some snapped twigs lying around that deserve a second chance.

We don’t tend to fix blades as they’re very sensitive and finicky, but there are exceptions to every rule, and it can be done if you’re really keen on it and the damage isn’t too bad. Generally cracked blades can be recovered, but a complete decapitation is not worthwhile. If the damage is particularly low like at or just above the heel, the repair may need to be external and therefore will be visible.

The going rate of $100 for a standard repair is pretty minimal and certainly stuff all compared with the cost of a complete replacement, so feel free to contact Scott if you’d like some work done   We're open to bulk deals if your team/club has a pile of sticks to fix (combining shipping can save a lot), just get in touch and we’ll talk it over!
