Different Types of Watch Repair

Our watch repairs meet a wide range of needs, to restore your timepiece to optimal condition.

Whether it’s a basic fix or a specialised service, rest assured that we will treat your watch with the utmost care and precision. From common repairs like battery replacements for quartz watches, to vintage strap replacements and simple adjustments, we cover the basics. We also offer glass replacement services as well as more complex repairs to intricate watch movements.

Battery Replacement

For quartz watches, regular battery replacement and resealing is a vital aspect of watch repair.

Our expert team is equipped to carry out battery replacements for all brands, using high-quality Swiss batteries with a 12-month guarantee. We offer same-day appointments at both our Nottingham and Lincoln locations and a postal option – so we can prioritise convenience without compromising on quality.

Battery replacement is especially crucial for watches that require pressure testing. We have the specialised equipment to perform this test, ensuring the seal remains intact and your watch remains waterproof.

With our commitment to excellent customer service and quality workmanship, you can trust us to keep your timepiece running smoothly.

Glass and Crystal Replacement

Our watch glass replacement service ensures that your timepiece stays protected and maintains its pristine appearance. We have invested in a vast stock of thousands of different shapes, styles and sizes of glass, from mineral glass to sapphire crystal.

Promptly replacing a broken watch glass is essential to prevent further damage. A cracked or shattered watch glass can allow water and moisture to seep into the delicate inner components, causing corrosion and irreparable damage. Additionally, without protective glass, your watch is more susceptible to scratches, dust, and debris, further diminishing its value and longevity.

At Tick King, we understand the urgency of watch glass replacement. Trust our skilled technicians to provide you with exceptional service and ensure a seamless replacement that restores the integrity of your watch.

Watch Polishing & Scratch Removal

Surface scratches are a common issue that can occur on watches over time. These scratches can be caused by everyday wear and tear, accidental bumps, or contact with hard surfaces. While surface scratches may be unsightly, they can often be addressed and their appearance reduced.

With our watch polishing service, we can help restore the lustre and beauty of your timepiece and help minimise the visibility of surface scratches. We use various techniques to carefully remove or reduce these scratches, restoring your watch’s overall appearance.

It’s important to note that while these techniques can significantly improve the appearance of surface scratches, they may not completely remove deep or extensive scratches. In such cases, more extensive repairs may be required.
