Watch Battery, Strap Replacement & Cleaning Services

At Bowles Ltd, we offer reliable, affordable watch services for local customers, covering everything from simple battery changes to strap replacement and professional deep cleaning. Whether it’s an everyday watch or a valued timepiece, we take care to treat every watch with attention and respect.

Our services are ideal for both modern and vintage watches, and we’re always happy to advise if something needs more specialist attention.

Watch Battery Replacement

If your watch has stopped or is losing time, a battery replacement is often all that’s needed. We replace watch batteries quickly and carefully, ensuring seals and case backs are refitted correctly.

  • Battery replacement for most quartz watches
  • Suitable for wristwatches and pocket watches
  • Quick turnaround for local customers
  • Honest advice if additional issues are found

Watch Strap Replacement & Fitting

A new strap can completely transform a watch. We offer strap replacement and fitting, helping you find a style that suits both the watch and your wrist.

  • Leather, silicone, and replacement straps available
  • Professional strap fitting
  • Lug width measured correctly to ensure a proper fit
  • Old straps removed and new straps fitted safely

If you already have a strap, we’re happy to fit it for you.

Watch Deep Cleaning

Over time, watches can accumulate dirt, sweat, and grime — especially around the case, case back, and strap. Our deep cleaning service helps restore your watch’s appearance while maintaining its integrity.

  • External case and bracelet cleaning
  • Removal of built-up dirt and residue
  • Suitable for both modern and vintage watches
  • Carried out with care to avoid damage to older finishes

Please note: deep cleaning is cosmetic and does not replace a mechanical service.

Vintage & Antique Watches

We regularly work with vintage and antique watches, and understand the extra care these require. If you’re unsure whether a battery change, strap replacement, or cleaning is suitable for your watch, we’ll always advise honestly before any work is carried out.
