Check service ↗What should a restring cost?
Some prices cover labour only; others include the string. Always compare the ready-to-play total.
Example recorded 15 September 2026: about £27–£42 including string, depending on type (service price list linked). Ask for turnaround.
See price list ↗Ask for the exact string, labour charge and turnaround. No broader UK price range has been verified.
Ask these four questions
- Does the quote include both string and labour?
- Is urgent turnaround or delivery extra?
- What type and gauge are being fitted?
- What tension will be used, and why?
A practical starting point
For a social or improving player who rarely breaks strings, ask about synthetic gut or multifilament before paying for premium polyester. Polyester is not automatically an upgrade for every player.
Illustration (not a quote): £16 labour plus a £12 set is a £28 restring.
Historical examples recorded 15 September 2026; not rechecked in this update. Researched guidance, not a hands-on string test. Correction, 15 September: removed the £25–£65 Tennisnuts range because its link did not establish a specific service price.
