Repair and restoration cue
Relaxing billiards game
Billiards is a mostly calm, thoughtful game, but sometimes it may be too emotional. Often uncontrollable emotions on the part of players end badly for cues.
At the best case, they begin to clink or stickers fly off, shock absorbers fall out, and in some cases shafts crack. But there are also cases of a complete cue split, when buying a new tool would seem to be the best choice.
This is especially true if the cue is exclusive and very expensive. BILLIYA is ready to repair breakdowns of any degree of complexity. Except when repair is physically impossible.

Sticker replacement and repair at home. Features.
A pennyworth repair, which would seem to be easy to do at home, but there are several important nuances.
These nuances determine whether the cue will play as well as before or not. The most important points are removing the scrapings of the old sticker and fitting the new one.
To maximize and secure adhesion to the tip, there should not be a trace of the old sticker on the latter. The smallest irregularities lead to poor bonding.
This significantly reduces the life of the new sticker. The second is adjustment. After gluing, be sure to perfectly match the diameter of the sticker to the diameter of the tip.
If you do it manually with sandpaper, then there is a high risk of leaving scratches on the shaft. If, however, the diameter of the sticker is deduced, which is different from the diameter of the sleeve, the ball will receive energy from the cue unevenly, which will compromise on accurate hits.
BILLIYA performs professional repairs of billiard cues. Even the replacement of the sticker requires professional equipment, which we have.
The main tool is a lathe. It will help not only to achieve the same diameters of the sticker with the shaft, but also to remove the scrapings of the old sticker.
Only the use of professional equipment and the golden hands of our specialists will restore the ideal playing properties.
Cue joint replacement
A joint, although invisible, means much for the straightness of the cue. It connects the butt and the shaft. If the twist was damaged or incorrectly installed in the workshop from the very beginning, the cue will be distorted in the central part. Playing this tool is nothing but trouble. Joint replacement is a much higher level of repair than the previous two.
It is impossible to do by yourself. You need huge experience to glue the joint evenly, while maintaining the geometry of the entire cue.
While we can solve this problem very quickly. After the repair is completed and you get your cue back, the result and quality of the work will pleasantly surprise you.
The tool will show the perfect geometry and better performance than ever.
Weight bolt replacement: a hard-to-do repair
Replacing the weight bolt is even more complicated than the previous repairs. To do this, you need to disassemble the butt. After that, you need to remove the old weight bolt, and insert a new one instead.
The mounting quality should be the highest. Otherwise, an unpleasant clinking will appear when performing even the lightest shots. And if you need to replace the weight bolt in cues precisely because of the clinking, the problem, unfortunately, will remain.
