A watch repair is like a tiny surgery performed not by a doctor in a white robe, but by a professional trained to deal with the extremely small moving mechanisms of a watch. Such professionals undertake watch repairs Merseyside or watch repairs Liverpool at their homes, offices, in the street, in commercial centres or any other locations where they can be seen by a high number of pedestrians.

Those who repair watches, whether they change a watch band or perform a total restoration of a very old watch, must be authorised to perform watch repairs. So, the first thing that you have to do if you have a watch that needs repair is to find the right professional for the job. This will answer many of your questions, such as those regarding the time needed by the professional to complete the job or the cost of the repair.

If you find an authorised watch repairer, take the watch to him and wait for an estimate. This can happen, of course, if the repairer works in your area, because if he activates in other city, you would have to send the watch via courier, and obviously wait for several days until he can give you an approximate price and period of time needed to repair the watch. Usually, watches are sent to long distances when they are still covered by the warranty.

If, however, the watch is not covered by the warranty anymore, you can have it repaired at any watch repair centre in your area. And even if it is still covered, you should ask the watchmaker if there are authorised repair centres in your city where you could have your watch repaired. Explain to the watchmaker that it would be much better to repair the watch locally than sending it to miles away for repair.

The distance and the cost of the transport can highly influence the cost of the repair, therefore before sending the watch back to its factory to replace its battery, strap or a metal band link, check to see if you can find an authorised repairer in your city. If the distance and transport are out of the question, the cost of a battery or watch crystal replacement is somewhere below £30, and a total restoration, more than £250.

These prices are not the same for all the watches in the world; they vary according to the watch brand and model. For example, watch repairs Merseyside or watch repairs Liverpool that refer to very expensive or very rare watches feature a cost higher than the average one, because it is difficult to find the right components for this type of watches.

Speaking of watch components, the reason for which you should search for an authorised repair centre is that there you can find components that were designed for your specific watch brand and model. If you go to an unknown repairer, he could use components that work for a while and then break down, in order to make you return over and over again and buy his services.
