Amazing customer service and repair job to a nasty seat stay break. Highly recommended. The quality of the paint finish is exceptional. You get what you pay for and these guys delivered

Threaded my carbon. They are now as good as new thanks to CBR. Saved me hundreds of pounds from if they needed to be replaced

Good professional service but not cheap. The quality is visually good and I cannot see the join.

Very professional, however I don't believe they take the proper time to diagnose when the lacquer (paint) has cracked, too quick to quick to state it's a crack in the carbon.

My top tube was damage after an attempted theft. Repair organised through insurers, performed by CBR. Absolutely no sign of the damage having taken place now, as good as new. Fab result, great service. Before and after photos for comparison

Absolutely first class job they have done repairing my carbon frame after the top tube got damaged. Blended the repaired section in and can’t tell where it is. Amazing.

Fixed my carbon forks that well that I had to check photos to see where the crack was originally. Fast, efficient and superb work. Highly reccomend.

Sent my frame in 2 years ago to repair the broken chainstay. The service was impeccable, the process was clearly outlined and all costs were upfront. The frame has been as good as new since and cannot recommend them enough!

I experienced what must be the epitome in great service - communication was excellent and very responsive, pricing was competitive and the repair job looked like the bike had never been broken. Have already referred Paolo and Mike to friends. You wont regret it.

Excellent company, very professional job. Got my planet x exocet 3 fixed. Repair is excellent as it looks better than the original dropout did in the first place. Great to have the bike back again! Thanks😀

If you need your carbon bike repaired this place is fantastic. I've taken my bike here twice. Both times the team here have done a great job. I also had my bike rebuilt here too, the price for a rebuild is on par with other bike shops but the mechanics here are brilliant. They also offer custom paint jobs and refurbishment too. Keep up the top work!

Dealt with CBR after crashing my road bike. The process with them was nothing but brilliant. Smooth efficient, professional, always responding super fast to emails. Everything I asked if them, nothing was too much for them. Would advise them to everyone. Thanks guys, special mention to paul.

Really nice job to repair my rear brake bridge on a Pinarello Dogma. Without this the frame would have been a write off. Opted for the basic paint finish but that was a really nice, neat, shiny black. Very friendly service, rough quote based on photos by mail was matched by the real one after the guys had a look at the bike. Definitely recommmend this company

We cannot recommend these guys highly enough. Their work is outstanding, whether it be a carbon repair or paint restoration. We've sent them lots of frames, most of which are very high end. Some of the frames have had quite serious crash damages and we have been beyond impressed with the quality and finish on every occasion. Customer service and communication is also excellent.

I had my 10 year old carbon bike refurbished with CBR recently. They did the most amazing job of fixing cracks, full respray, new graphics and full rebuild. really impressed with the guys both keeping me informed of the works, costs and the final finish. Totally recommend 100%.

I wrecked my carbon bike and the staff were extremely helpful. Very proffesional advice and didn't charge me for the time they took in checking it etc including collecting my frame from the local bike shop. Hope i don't need them again but would definitely use them if I have any future problems. Thank you.

I recently sent my bike frame here for a repair on two paint chips to the top tube. The price was resonable and about three weeks later I had my bike back. The technicians did a fantastic job at touching it up and it looked like new again which at first I was very happy about.However .... Upon further inspection, when building the bike back up I noticed that there was a new chip on the head tube of the bike that for certain wasn't there before. Extremely annoying. I was told that "it probably happened in postage" however it seems too specifically placed for a postage incident in my mind. On the postage front, one other concerning matter was that the bike was sent back with hardly any protective packaging just a bit of bubble wrap. All of the protective packaging I supplied had been left at the bottom of the box unutalized. Why?To be fair, I did mention this and I was told they would look into repairing this for me but unfortunately I would have to take It apart again and i'm reluctant to send it by courier. I just don't have the time to drop it off in person either.In summary, by all means send your bike here and I'm sure they will do a good repair to your pride and joy. However, I would most certainly drop it off by hand do not send it by courier.3 stars is a fair review in my opinion of my experience with this company.

After my bike frame was damaged in an accident, I didn't know where to go. Two bike shops basically told me I should scrap my bike as it was no longer safe to ride. My insurance didn't have much knowledge on the subject either. My local bike shop recommended Carbon Bike Repair to see what they'd say.I dealt with Ben at CBR. He was extremely efficient, polite and helpful with all my concerns. I felt safe dealing with them, and was very impressed with their workshop when I went there. Ben kept me updated while repair was happening, and with their express service they got the repair done in a week. They have done an excellent job. I have already told people about them and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them as I was so impressed. Professionalism and a very high standard of work by people who obviously love their work and take pride in what they do.Thank-you.

Carbon Bike Repair came highly recommended by 2 local bike dealers after crack in rear seat stay found. They responded to my phone call and email immediately. On dropping bike off was really impressed with the workshop and with how they explained the processes they follow. They kept me up to date with the progress of the repair and on collection was delighted with the result. The team are clearly passionate about the service they provide. I would highly recommend them.

Greg Gosling

Astonishingly good; yes it took a while but Rob and team have taken a possible write-off and restored it to as-new. The frame has had 7 years hard use and then a massive head-on. Now it is like new again - well worth the investment.

Odd incident involving a tissue ended up with my rear derailleur cracking both my rear chain stays. Yellow jersey said they had a service to possibly repair it.. u was a little sceptical.Anyhow.. carbon bike repair delivered a box to my house. Had the bike collected and sent back. The actual bike came back as if brand new. The bike had been completely rebuilt and it was much better than any full service I have seen. Regards to the carbon.. you cannot see any evidence that it existed.. Overall I am extemely impressed with everything about this company.. and yellow jersey insurance were awesome too

Quality of workmanship is beyond 5 star. Combined with the 5 star service, friendliness, proffesionalism and communication, I can't recommend it highly enough. It is NOT cheap, I pray you have insurance! But the quality is all there.

Darren Bonehill

12:48 08 May 17

Great business, great service, but yes, prices are a little high.Thanks for the additional information. Carbon Bike Repair actually provided a lot more information post sale and I am reassured that the cost was reasonable. The work is of a very high quality and I will be recommending them and (if I am unlucky) returning to them in the future should I need to. I have adjusted my star rating due to post sale information.

My top tube got damaged and the guys at CBR have fixed it within two weeks. I was amazed by the result, which is even better than it shows on the photo. Job (very) well done! Would give six stars if I could.

I have used CBR now 3 times to repair 3 different bikes, and each time the service and quality of the job has been excellent.The finish of the bikes has made it look like nothing has been done and as good as new.I cannot recommend them highly enough to take care of your pride and joy!

Found Carbon Bike Repair on a web search but an email exchange soon demonstrated that they knew what they were talking about - certainly a lot more than I did, though perhaps that isn't hard!I took the trouble to visit and the set up is pretty professional. Certainly not fly-by-night.I have nothing to compare in terms of pricing but the quality of the job and the finish was a huge relief and, though they quotes 2-3 weeks, my frame was back in my arms within 10 days. Unfortunately, the lovely finish on the repair makes other parts of the frame look a bit tatty. Bugger! I'll live with that though!Thank you Rob and the CBR team.

Amazing results. Bought an sworks hardtail on eBay, great condition but had a ding on the top tube. Called top bike shop (Sigma), as I was getting them to service it, they suggested I use carbon bike repair. They sorted it in no time, it looks as though it just came from the sworks factory. Top job. Thanks Dominic

Was distraught when a pretty large rock was flicked up against the down tube of a new Trek Domane descending MV2 The ding pierced and cracked the carbon frame. Contacted CBR from France and on return, couriered the frame over and 3 weeks later, the repair was so immaculate, I struggled to find the exact spot where the damage was. Very impressive work chaps.

Henry Hammond

I was told by local bike shop that the carbon lining of my bottom bracket on my Trek Madone 5.2 was worn beyond repair but the boys at CBR fixed it no problems! great price too. Very happy to have the Madone back

The repair done on my son's bike was absolutely first class. It is literally as good as new and they even made good some other paint chips on the top tube. The service was excellent in getting the repair done and to top it off the chaps at head for hills (where you drop and collect the bike from) tightened up his head set before i collected it. I was under pressure to get it repaired as my son was racing - the first race out he won and the second one he came second - i don't know how much that was down to the fact that his beloved bike was back to looking great but I am sure it helped. the important thing for me is that when i come to sell it as he grows out of it I can do so.Thanks

Carbon Bike Repairs have done a fantastic job on my bike. I cannot even see where the original break was. The fact that it comes with a guarantee is even better. A1.
