How Much Does Racket Stringing Cost?
A standard badminton restring in Canada costs about $25–$35 CAD in 2026 with string and labour included. Your exact Badminton House quote depends on the string model and tension you choose — the table below shows typical 2026 Canadian price bands so you know what to budget before you ask.
| Service | Typical Price (CAD) | What It Covers |
|---|---|---|
| Labour only (you supply a sealed string set) | From about $15 ($15–$25 range) | Cutting out the old string, stringing to your requested tension, tying off, trimming, and checking the string bed |
| Standard string + labour (BG65 / BG80 class) | From about $25 ($25–$35 range) | All-in restring with a durable all-round Yonex string — the most common band for club players |
| Premium thin-gauge string + labour (Exbolt 65, BG66 Ultimax, Aerosonic) | From about $35 ($35–$45 range) | Thinner, higher-repulsion strings that cost more per set and reward precise stringing |
| Rush / same-day add-on | About $5–$10 extra | Jumping the normal 2–3 day queue when you need the racket back fast — ask at drop-off |
These are typical Canadian benchmark ranges, not a fixed price list. Your exact price depends on string and tension — use the Get a Quote form and we'll confirm it before we string. For the full market breakdown, read our badminton stringing cost in Canada guide.
Why the spread? The string itself moves the price. Yonex string sets retail for roughly $14–$20 CAD in Canada — BG65 around $13.95, BG80 and Exbolt 65 around $19.95 — so a premium thin-gauge restring naturally lands higher than a BG65 workhorse job. When comparing quotes anywhere, always confirm whether the price includes string, labour, tax, and any rush fee.
Why Restring?
Strings lose tension over time — even if they haven't broken. A racket that felt great three months ago is playing differently now. Dead strings kill your control and power before you notice it.
As a rule of thumb, players on court twice a week or more should restring every 2 to 3 months — even if the string never breaks.
"Dead strings kill your control and power before you notice it."
⚠️ Signs You Need a Restring
Strings feel "mushy" — the shuttle isn't popping off the bed
Hitting harder to get the same depth on clears
Visible notching where strings cross
It's been 3+ months since your last restring

What Tension Should You Ask For?
Most casual and beginner players string at 20–22 lbs, intermediate players at 23–25 lbs, and advanced players at 26–28 lbs. Higher tension gives more control; lower tension gives more power and a bigger, more forgiving sweet spot.
| Player Level | Recommended Tension | What It Feels Like |
|---|---|---|
| Casual / beginner | 20–22 lbs | More power and depth with less effort; forgiving on off-centre hits |
| Intermediate | 23–25 lbs | Balanced zone — cleaner feedback without giving up too much help on clears |
| Advanced | 26–28 lbs | Sharper response and more control, but less margin for timing errors |
| Professional | 29+ lbs | Very direct and precise, but demanding on the arm and the frame |
Two practical tips. If you mostly play plastic shuttles, drop your usual feather tension by 2–3 lbs to restore depth and comfort. And if you're unsure between two numbers, take the lower one — adjust by 1 lb at your next restring rather than making a big jump.
How We String Your Racket
A good restring is more than "new string in the racket." Every racket we string goes through the same checklist:
Grommet inspection before stringing. Cracked or worn grommets can pinch and cut fresh string within a few sessions — we flag and replace damaged ones before the new string goes in.
Frame fully mounted and supported on the stringing machine so the head keeps its shape under tension.
Your requested tension, pulled evenly across mains and crosses — and we stay within your frame's rated tension range.
Clean knots and a final string-bed check before we tell you it's ready for pickup.
Workmanship note. If something about a fresh restring isn't right — a slipped knot, an uneven string bed — bring the racket back and we'll make it right.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a racket restrung?
Turnaround is 2 to 3 days from drop-off. No appointment needed — just bring your racket to Badminton House in Moncton.
Do I need to know which string I want?
No. Tell us your skill level and playing style and we'll pick the right string and tension for you. If you already know what you want, we'll do that too.
What strings do you use?
We carry a full range of Yonex strings — from durable options like BG65 to high-repulsion strings like BG80 Power and thin-gauge performance strings like Aerosonic. See the full string comparison above, or just tell us your level and we'll recommend the best match.
How often should I restring my racket?
For regular players (2+ times per week), every 2 to 3 months. Casual players can go longer, but if your strings feel mushy or you're hitting harder for the same distance, it's time.
