Battery Reseal
Watch Battery Replacement & Reseal
If your quartz watch has stopped, the battery is usually the simple fix but the reseal is what protects the watch afterwards.
We replace the battery using a Swiss Renata cell, then reseal the case properly and pressure test the watch to help keep out moisture and dust.
Book your battery replacement today and give your timepiece the care it deserves.

Turnaround & Guarantee
Most battery reseals can be completed quickly in-branch, depending on model and workload. Postal service is also available UK-wide. Battery work includes a 12-month guarantee.
Overview Battery Replacement Steps
A battery swap without a reseal can leave your watch vulnerable. Over time, gaskets dry out, shrink or get pinched, and that’s when condensation and corrosion become real risks. Even if you “never get it wet”, everyday life still exposes your watch to humidity, handwashing and temperature changes.
Our approach is simple: replace the battery cleanly, make sure the sealing surfaces are right, and confirm the case integrity with testing when the watch is rated for it. If we see any sign of gasket fatigue or poor sealing, we’ll explain the options clearly before proceeding.
