Prices
The WATCH Lab is a specialist watch repair business offering quality watch repairs. Although not expensive, prices with The WATCH Lab reflect the levels of workmanship and service on offer. Cheap watch repairs mean inferior quality watch repairs. This is not what The WATCH Lab is about. Over 1,000 different watch brands have been sold in the UK to date. These companies have each produced up to 100 different models, some of which are 100 years old or more.
Because of the above and in common with all watch repair companies, The WATCH Lab uses a Price Guide rather than a Price List. It would also be near impossible to produce an accurate price with every different repair scenario for every different watch or model. Because of this, we offer a free no-obligation assessment & estimate service through both our branches and the repairs-by-post service. Our team need to see and handle the watch, plus discuss its history to establish the problems and then offer the solution. Or, put another way, accurately advise our clients what they really need to know i.e.
‘what’s involved? How much is it going to cost? How long will it take?’
