Expert Watch Strap Adjustment Service

Our watch strap adjustment service caters to metal bracelets, leather straps, rubber straps, and integrated designs. Whether you need an affordable watch strap resizing in the UK or precision work on a luxury piece, we handle each watch with care.

• Metal bracelet link removal and addition with pin and collar tools
• Micro-adjust clasp tuning for perfect fit and comfort
• Leather and rubber strap cutting and reattachment
• Replacement spring bars and clasp repairs
• Optional polishing to restore luster

How We Measure for a Perfect Fit

We take wrist measurements and note wearer preferences (snug or relaxed fit). For metal bracelets we use calibrated link tools to preserve original pins and finishes. For leather we consider buckle position and hole placement to achieve the ideal balance of comfort and aesthetics.

Combo Service: Save Time and Money

Choose our combo watch battery and strap adjustment service to consolidate repairs into a single job. Bundling reduces shipping and handling time — and often the overall cost. Book the combo here: /products/watch-battery-replacement-strap-adjustment-bundle-service.

Security, Insurance and Tracking

We insist on tracked, insured postage both ways and log items on arrival to our workshop. Our process minimises risk and gives you peace of mind. If you have concerns about posting a valuable or vintage watch, we can advise on specialised courier options and extra insurance cover.

Turnaround Times and What Affects Them

Typical turnaround is 3–7 working days after we receive your watch for standard battery replacements and strap adjustments. Factors that can increase turnaround include:

• High-demand periods (holiday seasons)
• Complex repairs requiring parts or specialist attention
• Vintage watches that need delicate handling

We always provide realistic timelines when you place your order and update you if any delays occur.

Do You Need a Pressure Test After Battery Replacement?

Yes — if your watch is rated as water-resistant and you intend to expose it to water. A pressure test verifies that case gaskets and seals will hold up to the rated depth. We offer pressure testing as an optional add-on and recommend it for dive watches, sports watches, and any piece frequently exposed to moisture.

The Tools and Techniques We Use

Chrono Care UK technicians use professional tools and methods used across the watchmaking industry:

• Precision screwdrivers, case openers and battery clamps
• Jeweller pin drivers and link presses for bracelet work
• Pressure testing machines for water-resistance verification
• Timing machines to check quartz and mechanical accuracy after repair

These tools, combined with careful protocols, ensure minimal risk and high-quality results.

Special Care for Vintage and High-Value Watches

Vintage watches require a nuanced approach. We assess the condition, advise on the risks of certain operations (e.g., opening fused case backs), and offer bespoke quotes. For valuable timepieces we recommend enhanced insured courier services and can provide condition reports on receipt.

Customer Stories: Real Experiences

Many customers describe the experience as effortless. For example, one customer sent a family heirloom for a battery and strap adjustment; we carefully replaced the battery, resized the bracelet, and returned the watch with a condition note and a restored fit. Another customer appreciated the quick turnaround when they needed a watch fixed ahead of a wedding.

Frequently Asked Questions
