Frequently Asked Questions
Which watches can you fix?
Our skilled technicians can repair all kinds of modern and vintage watches. If you can’t find your required service online, please either contact us or visit your local Timpson store for further assistance.
How long do your watch repairs take?
Lead times vary between repairs and can depend on the availability of parts. Most repairs can be completed within 5 workings days, but anything that needs to be sent to a third party will take longer.
How much does a typical service cost?
A basic quartz service starts from £40. A service to a mechanical timepiece starts from around £85.
What happens if you can’t fix my watch?
We operate on a no fix, no fee basis. In the very unlikely event our technicians are unable to repair your watch, you will not be charged for this service.
What repairs can be done in my local Timpson store?
Our in-store technicians can do simpler fixes, such as quartz services, battery replacement and changing links. More complicated issues will be sent to our Watch Repair Excellence Centre.
What does a watch service involve?
The watchmaker will check for signs of damage, rust or wear and tear, stripping the watch down completely to oil, grease and clean all the moving parts. All these parts except for the dial & hands are put into a watch-cleaning basket and then into an ultrasonic cleaning machine. The watch case and back are cleaned in a separate ultrasonic tank. The watch is then re-assembled by a similar reversed process with all relevant parts being greased and oiled to manufacturers requirements and guidelines.
Where should I send my watch for repair?
Simply complete your order online, then print out your order confirmation to include with your watch. Please send this package to: Timpson, PO Box 7571, Wolverhampton, WV1 9JZ. Do not send the watch in its original box, as this may not be returned to you.
Do your repairs come with a warranty?
Yes, all watch repairs come with at least a 1-year guarantee, while some are under warranty for 2 years. Most battery replacements come with a lifetime guarantee.
Do I need to book an in-store appointment?
No, Timpson stores operate solely on a walk-in basis, so there’s no need to contact us or make an appointment in advance.
