The most common frame damage I see includes fractures to the top tube, seat stays, and chain stays, ranging from minor cracks to fully severed tubes or holes. Over the years, I’ve encountered all types of damage, including severe cases such as a Tarmac SL3 with a golf ball–sized hole in the seat tube and a Cervelo R5 with a snapped dropout. The good news is that all of these frames are repairable with the right skills and materials.

Every repair is different and requires a tailored process to restore full structural strength. Most customers request their frame be returned to its original condition, which is achievable. After structural repair, the frame is refinished in the paint shop, where a skilled artist restores the paint and graphics as needed.

Provide us with high-quality close-up and overview photos of the component so we can see the damage and the overall part. Please ensure you take as many pictures as possible from different angles. If the damage goes through the part then we’ll need to see the rear also. Once you have all your pictures, you can email them to us at matt@spirecycles.co.uk. If there is a lot or the files are too big then your best solution is to put them all into a folder, zip / archive them and send them to our WeTransfer Account When you send the photos, it would be great to include as much information about the component as possible, and it is useful to know how the damage occurred. Once we have all of the above, we will look over all the information provided and then come back to you with costings and timescales involved. Please try to be as accurate as possible with the pictures and the information provided, as if we don’t get all the facts prior to the part arriving, it may be that extra time and materials may be required which will increase the costs. For some of the more serious damaged parts it may be that we can’t offer any quote or timings until we have physically seen the item. There is also the possibility that the cost of repair is not financially feasible but we will certainly try to cater as best as we can.
