What affects repair & restoration prices
Movement type
Mechanical and automatic watch movements need a full strip, clean and re-oil by a trained watchmaker, which costs far more than a quartz battery swap.
Brand and parts availability
Servicing a well-known Swiss brand often costs more due to genuine parts and manufacturer-approved procedures.
Extent of the damage
A simple clasp repair is quick, but a badly bent setting or missing stones needs more bench time and materials.
Repair & Restoration price questions
How much does it cost to service a watch in the UK?
A quartz service is typically £60–£150, while a full mechanical movement service is £150–£600 depending on the brand and complexity.
How much does pearl restringing cost?
Most restringers charge £3–£8 per inch, so a standard 18-inch strand typically costs £55–£145 including knotting between pearls.
Can a broken clasp always be repaired?
Most clasps can be repaired or replaced. Very worn or antique clasps sometimes need a bespoke replacement made, which costs more than a standard repair.
