Unbelievable work by the entire team at Carbon Bike Repair. Everyone I met were amazing! It is like I have my dream bike…the repair is Fanta and you would never know the crash occurred, the paint is sublime! A custom job executed to perfection! I cannot speak highly enough of the company and everyone.

I've just got my Canyon Ultimate back from repair after damaging one of the seat stays. The quality of repair is truly outstanding. The profile of the tube and the paint match on a matte finish genuinely exceeded my expectations (and I'm very fussy!). I would not hesitate to have my bike repaired here again. A highly professional setup with very pleasant staff and great processes.

I had two bikes which were damaged in transit by a courier. Carbon Bike Repair got them back to good as new. Throughout the process they were open, communicative, professional and an absolute pleasure to deal with. They clearly take considerable pride in their work.

Absolute legends.I bought a very nice new bike a month ago and encountered a small crack in the fork. This could have been catastrophic and had me very stressed. Following a few recommendations of the shop, I dropped by and the inspected and confirmed the bike was safe. This was a massive relief, incredibly quick and they did not even charge me!Thanks so much.

First class service and job. After cracking the top tube on my Scott Plasma in my work stand these guys repaired it to factory standards. Couldn't be more happy with the overall service and result. Thanks.

I brought my frame to them for a driveside chainstaychainsuck fracture and they were very quick with the repair and really friendly and helpful. Definitely will keep them in mind for future works or repairs!

After a silly accident at home causing a small dint in my frame's top tube I took it into be repaired at CBR following excellent feed back from fellow cyclists. From first contact to collecting my frame CBR were quick to respond, very professional and clearly loved bikes, spent quite a bit of time when dropping off and picking up chatting to the guys about all thing bike.The process was clear, easy to follow, just what I needed after a stressful incident.The repair was flawless, absolutely like new again, I am very happy with what they have done. I had the paint finished to original and you really can't tell its been repaired.It wasn't cheap but you really do get what you pay for and well worth it in my opinion, I would highly recommend CBR without hesitation.

Can not thank the guys at The Carbon Bike Repair centre enough. Had my bike repaired by them via Pedalsure bike insurance. I am glad I was able to visit CBR Ltd in person, the workshop is presented to very high standard. The place has such a nice vibe, and the guys who work at CBR came across friendly, knowledgeable and professional.

These guys managed to turn around 2 repairs to my Santacruz in great time - the work is spot on, contact from them throughout was great and the cost was really reasonable. Would highly recommend!!

Far TOO SLOW to complete the repairs, despite of doing a decent job! It took them 2-months to undertake X-ray + repair, despite the fact that the bike DID NOT REQUIRE ANY CARBON REPAIR, and repair was limited to small paint job.Management admitted they do not have sufficient capacity to meet the demand. My suggestion is only to go to them if you are in NO HURRY to get your bike back!

Dropped my bike off for a post accident report. Good efficient, friendly service. Highly recommended.

The rear seat stay in my frame was damaged & whilst I was confident it could be repaired, I was extremely impressed by the quick response for a quote from Carbon Bike Repair.Once they received my frame, they communicated so we could agree the exact repair and paint job I required, and could pass on to my insurer. They kept me informed at all times and completed the repair in under the time estimate.I cannot fault their professionalism and quality.Hopefully, in a few years time, I can also confirm the bike is still riding as good, if not better, than ever!

I have no words to evaluate CBR's work, from the first moment always super attentive and supportive.It was several emails until we figured out how to proceed with several steps, shipments between different countries, repairs, payments, and uncountable questions from my side, being all of them well answered and with as much detail as possible.It was incredible to see the pictures during the work and the final result; I am delighted with the results. It looks like brand new; I cannot even say where the fractures were.Thank you guys for all your efforts and support on this repair. I will, without a doubt, recommend you to anyone.

Simon Holloway

13:27 04 May 21

Had a crack on the downtube of my old tarmac frame, you can't even see where they have done the repair and the paint restoration of the whole downtube looks amazing. On top of that it was done much faster than expected. Very happy :)

The guys did a great job repairing my 10 year old S Works Roubaix. I had no idea that carbon fiber was repairable until Sigma Sports recommended CBR. Great service.

What a great service. I thought my frame was a right off with a serious fracture but Carbon Bike Repair fixed it. I also wanted to comment positively about the overall experience, quoting was fast, the expert advice credible and confidence inspiring, the communication good, the pricing and timing fair. The quality of the repair and respray looks flawless. Really impressed and I wish Carbon Bike Repair all the best of luck in growing their business.

I got my frame repaired after damaging the chain stay due to dropping my chain. Everyone at Carbon Bike Repair were extremely responsive and replied to emails really quickly. The wait time was not too long, and now I have my bike back and rebuilt the damage is completely invisible. I would get a bike repaired here again, and would reccomend anyone with a damaged frame to get it repaired here too!

Michael Coote

17:18 12 Mar 21

The guys at CBR really are masters of their trade. I was astonished by the quality of the finish to my repaired Ridley Helium frame. I keep studying it but can't see any sign of the repair...quite incredible. Furthermore, they are a nice bunch of guys and provide a great service. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

Gerry Akehurst

Following a high speed RTA, just had my Trek Madone frame fractures sorted out by CBR. Absolutely amazing job done by the guys. Job completed with professionalism and courtesy. I felt totally confident with them taking my pride and joy to get it back on the road. Lovely dealing with them all and would highly recommend.

I smashed my my bike up in the cold weather and the insurer (PedalSure) sent the bike to CBR for repair. They CBR team did a fantastic job in getting my bike back on the road. Their use of technology for scanning bike frames to prove road worthiness is second to none. I was very pleased with the workmanship and can now enjoy my bike being back to its former glory. Thanks CBR, I will be in touch for a custom paint job in the not too distant future. *****

Matthew Gell

13:05 05 Mar 21

My wife's mountainbike frame was damaged in an accident. CBR were tasked with the repair and were professional throughout the process. The quality of the repair and the paintwork is top notch, and we have no doubts about the integrity of the structure.I would recommend this to everyone, in preference of replacing damaged carbon bike parts.

This is the 3rd bike for which I have had serviced at CBR. My most recent experience involved a custom re-spray of a Colnago. I had to wait a long time to get the bike re-painted, but that was largely because of Covid. Having finally seen the outcome of their work for the first time today, I am simply blown way. The frame is absolutely stunning. I can't thank these folks enough. Thanks again CBR.

Lee Stephens

21:20 19 Jan 21

Massively impressed with the repair CBR have done to my bike. Their work is impeccable and it’s impossible to tell there was ever any damage.Communication of job progress is excellent and they even sent pictures of the work they had done throughout.

18:44 04 Jan 21

This is a very late review of work done to my Giant Defy about 3 - 4 years ago. The service from these guys was excellent and I did feel like nothing was too much trouble and they acted professionally but the paint finish on my bike was pretty poor, with overspray and underspray where you didn't need it. The paint was also brittle which meant it flaked off everywhere so we gave the bike the nickname Jolly Green Leper. I'm sure their painter was an enthusiastic amateur as the design was good but really not an ideal finish. Anyway, sorry it's late and I can see the guys have moved on since but review added for fairness and balance. I'd probably use them again tbh if they have changed their painter.

Completed a tricky repair for me to a good standard, even flagged a couple of other issues they discovered upon further inspection.

In short you’d never know, looks like nothing ever happened, cracked chain stay on a Project One Trek SLR looks like new.I was advised it was the only place for carbon bike repair and now I know why.

Fantastic service from Carbon Bike Repair to my much loved S-Works Venge frame. Always responsive, a very clear initial estimate with clear quote once the frame had been inspected and damage assessed. Bike returned with repair area totally invisible to timescale as originally quoted. A very happy customer and would gladly recommend to anyone unfortunate enough to damage their bike.

Yet more quality work. Unfortunately I've had to use CBR 4 times in 4 years, and can;t think of any aspect I can fault them on. From initial quote, clear process and comms, the repair itself, profiling, paint and then rebuild. I have asked them to do some or all of the above, and it is consistently first class. The team are friendly and knowledgeable My only disappointment is there is only one CBR, and they are busy, so you will need to wait for quality service!

They handled a bike evaluation for the insurers of a driver who hit me. This seemed fine and the evaluation was honest. But in the 8 months they had the bike I moved home and told them 3 times I'd moved when they arranged to send it back to me. Guess what address it still went to? My old one. Now I've got to arrange getting a huge bike box from an address at short notice.*Update - They rang up, apologised and took responsibility. Unusual for a company to do that and much appreciated. 1* increased to 4*.

Carbon repair decent enough but rebuilding the bike including servicing was very poor and has left me having to pay again to have the service done professionally. Certainly would NOT recommend leaving your bike in the hands of their mechanics.Paid the deposit for the work to go ahead and was quoted 3 weeks. 7 weeks later I took delivery! Very unreliable and poor service. I would never return there.

Expert carbon frame repairs! Excellent workmanship and service. Thoroughly recommended if you have a damaged carbon frame or component, or want the reassurance of a professional safety check if you've had crash and need your bike checked out.

Steve Maher

I was really pleased with the work and I thought they were professional from start to finish, with super fast responses to any queries. I hope to never need them again, but would go back.

I had the top tube of my LIv Langma repaired (via insurance), and CBC have done an amazing job. The paint job was complex, and the final result looks like new. Professional, prompt and friendly email contact throughout, and excellent customer service. Highly recommended.

Julian Shawcross

15:55 23 Jul 20

Almost new Trek Madone SLR7 Project One - snapped steerer stop and bad scratch / chipped paint on forks. My insurance co. told me that as my bike is almost new and due to the quality of paint that I need to send my bike to CBR as they are the best. Amazed when I got my bike back as it looks like new - I cannot see where the repair was at all - very very pleased.

I recently got my Cube Agree frame sprayed from the team @ Carbon Bike Repair. I found the overall experience from the initial assessment all the way to completion of the job first class. An absolute great team of extremely knowledgeable professionals and true fans of the cycling world that simply love what they do and delivery exceptional results! Massive thank you to the team for bringing my old looking bike into the future and look forward to doing business again with you soon!

I sent my Cannondale carbon knot 64 wheel to carbon bike repair as it had some nasty scuffing.The wheel returned back to me very quickly and the work they did was amazing i couldn't see the repair and wheel looked brand new again.Thank you everyone at carbon bike repair.

I put my bike in to CBR based on hearsay from 3 different friends who all called out the same name. I sent my bike in due to a 50kmh over the bars into the desert experience with a cracked top tube...and I am immensely pleased to say that it has come back, absolutely immaculate and as if nothing had happened to it. The workmanship is nothing short of top drawer, but for me, as I am living half way around the world, is the customer service I received. They kept it simple and did what they said they would do. Informed all the way from start to finish, and even when they were busy, they had time for a quick 2 minute call to answer a question of or 2. Impressive company to work with, and no wonder they are busy all the time. Chapeau to all of the team under Doug Addecott's leadership...thanks again guys..!! A big thumbs up from the Middle East..!

I bought my Wifes Cannondale to have her frame resprayed. The guys have done the most amazing job and the bike looks absolutely beautiful. I can't recommend these guys highly enough, a fantastic experience from start to finish.

Simon Goldsmith

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

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

James Lewis

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!

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

TheGorillaFirm

13:13 19 Jul 18

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.

Duncan haynes

17:53 04 Jun 18

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%.
