Watch Polishing in London

Our in-house watch polishing service typically completes within two weeks, ensuring some of the fastest turnaround times in London without compromising on quality. The exact timeframe depends on your watch's condition, metal type, and the level of work required. If your timepiece needs additional treatment for deep scratches or dents, it may take a little longer.

The cost of watch polishing in Hatton Garden typically starts from £50, depending on the watch brand, case complexity, and finish type. Luxury or vintage watches requiring bespoke refinishing, deep scratch treatment, or mixed finish work may vary in price. We'll always provide a clear quotation before any work begins — no hidden fees, no obligation to proceed.

At our Hatton Garden workshop, we restore all major watch finishes, including high-polish, brushed, satin, and mixed finishes. We ensure each refinish matches your watch's original factory specifications for a precise and authentic result.

Polishing can effectively remove light to moderate surface scratches. However, where a scratch is too deep, excessive polishing risks removing too much material — potentially altering the watch's original shape or edges.

To avoid this, we use a laser welder to carefully infill deep scratches with the appropriate metal type before buffing and re-polishing the surface. This technique restores your watch's original finish without compromising its structure, ensuring the result is as close to factory condition as possible.

We specialise in polishing and refinishing some of the world's most prestigious watch brands, including Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Omega, and Cartier. We use manufacturer-grade techniques and specialist tools to ensure the result meets the standard your watch deserves.

For vintage or high-value timepieces, we always take a conservative approach — preserving both the integrity and collector value of your watch.

If your timepiece is water-resistant, a pressure test after polishing is strongly recommended, particularly if the case has been disassembled during the process. This confirms the integrity of the case, crown, seals, and gaskets — helping to prevent water ingress and protect the movement from moisture damage.

Yes, we offer watch polishing by post for customers throughout the UK.

We recommend sending your watch via tracked, insured post to ensure it's fully protected in transit. Upon receipt, our watchmakers will carefully assess the condition of the case and bracelet and provide you with a clear quotation before any work begins. Once complete, we'll return your watch to you via tracked, insured courier.

Should we notice anything else requiring attention during the process, we will always contact you before carrying out any additional work.
