Professional Squash Racket Restringing Service

Keep your squash racket performing at its best with some fresh strings delivered to a professional standard. Available via our postal squash racket restringing service or local drop-off in Waltham Abbey, Essex.

Using premium strings and precision tensioning, we ensure every restring delivers consistent feel, power and control — helping you stay sharp and confident on court.

Whether you prefer a lively, attacking setup or a softer, more controlled response, our expert stringers will tailor your restring to suit your style and level of play.

Why Restring Your Squash Racket?

  • Maintain consistent performance — strings lose tension over time, reducing power, control and feel.
  • Prevent sudden breakage — old strings weaken and notch, especially in high-stress areas of the frame.
  • Protect your arm and wrist — fresh strings absorb impact far better than worn, tension-lost strings.
  • Tailor your setup — adjust gauge and tension to suit your playing style, whether you’re focused on power, precision or comfort.

Our Squash Restring Options

The prices below include both the string and professional installation. Each restring is completed with precision tensioning and quality materials to ensure consistent performance and reliability. From lively, power-oriented setups to softer, more controlled configurations, we have a restring suited to your game.

Choosing the Right Squash String

Selecting the right squash string can make a big difference to your feel, control and power on court.

  • Power & Repulsion – Thinner gauge (around 1.15 mm) strings give a lively, fast response and better ball acceleration.
  • Control & Precision – Slightly thicker or firmer strings provide stability and directional accuracy, ideal for placement and touch.
  • Comfort & Feel – Multifilament constructions soften impact and absorb vibration, reducing strain on the arm.
  • Durability – For frequent players or heavy hitters, a thicker 1.25 mm+ string offers longer life with a balanced response.

Every restring is professionally tensioned to your preferred setup — typically between 24 – 30 lbs, depending on frame design and playing style.
