There's a few guys on Facebook that do helmet repairs/restitching. I'd say if you get in touch with them they'd point you in the right direction.

I'd imagine the integrity of the helmet is compromised though. I'd be picking up a new one. You'll have it until you finish playing or until it gets damaged.

I didn't mean to be flippant about it, but any visual defects and I'd scrap it, look at it this way there's no such thing as a repaired or refurbished motor bike helmet however trivial.

If it was the plastic itself that was giving way I'd definitly bin it but if its just the stitching gone loose restitching it shouldn't be a problem once done.
