Cue repair and maintenance
Give your favourite billiard cue a refresh or an upgrade
At GePe Biljarts you have come to the right place for expert repairs to your billiard cue. With professional equipment I get your favourite cue back in top condition. Whether it is replacing the tip or the ferrule, reviving the varnish or another repair, I am here to help.
You can send it by post or drop it off in person. Rely on my expertise for quick, high-quality service. Get in touch today and give your cue the care it deserves!
Tip or ferrule replacement
The tip is the only part of your cue that touches the ball, so it is the first to wear out. The old leather comes off, the face is trued square, it is glued under pressure and only then shaped. If the ferrule is cracked or worn, it goes in the same job.
General repairs
A loose wrap, a dent in the wood or a thread that no longer grips. I check the whole cue and tell you what it needs. What is too far gone to repair, you hear just as honestly as what I can fix.
Installing an extension
If you often have to play across the table, an extension beats any acrobatics. I fit one to your cue, match the diameter and the alignment to what you already have, and finish the whole in varnish so it never looks bolted on.
Full refurbishing
In a full refurbishment the whole cue passes through my hands: tip, ferrule, wrap and a fresh coat of varnish. You get it back the way it was meant to be.
Is your cue in need of some attention?
You can bring your cue in on Monday or Wednesday by appointment. If that is too far, send it well packed by BPost or DPD. I will return it safely by post, or bring it along when I am near you for a billiard table.
Drop-off info
On Mondays and Wednesdays I try to be available between 15:00 and 19:00 for dropping off and collecting cues. Do contact me first, so you don't find the door closed.

Shipping your cue
Make sure your cue is well packed: put it in a solid cue case, a cardboard tube or a PVC pipe, so nothing can go wrong in transit.
Preferably send it to the pick-up point below, which serves both DPD and BPost. I stop by there several times a week to collect and send parcels;

The man behind GePe Biljarts
Gert Pellin
I learned the trade in 2007 at Rus Tony Activities, one of the market leaders for café games in Belgium.
In 2012, GePe Biljarts was founded. As an independent upholsterer I now work for private individuals, billiard halls and companies. Some of the businesses I work with are Rus Tony Activities, Tom en Rudi and Belomax.
To hone my skills further, I obtained my diploma as a professional furniture upholsterer in 2015.
More than 15 years of experience
At 19 I was already covering billiard tables for Rus Tony. Today I have been self-employed for 10 years and have more than 15 years of experience.
Qualified upholsterer
With several years of experience behind me, I decided to take my diploma in general furniture upholstery outside working hours.
Independent
I am happy to advise you on buying a new or second-hand billiard table. I guarantee honest, well-founded advice, because I am tied to no brand and to no particular importer. The only brands I do not want to offer are the ones I know do not meet a minimum standard of quality.
