    I’ve used this company twice now. First with a Seiko and they did a wonderful job; and then with my beloved Omega. It’s come back like new. Communication is excellent, particularly from Louise who was super helpful. Will definitely use again. Worked out really good value compared to the manufacturer of a high street jeweller (who send them off anyway!). Thanks for the wonderful service. Can’t recommend these enough.

    The service that I received from RBP was nothing short of a complete disgrace. My watch was only sent in for a bezel replacement and I was initially quoted a 4-6 timescale for the return of my watch, which I was fine with, but then this was then increased to 13 weeks!! When I questioned this I was told that my watch had been opened and that a complete service / movement change was needed and they would do this free of charge due to all the confusion and the time it was taking to repair/return my watch. My watch was working perfectly when sent, it just needed a bezel replacement, there was no need to break the seal / open my watch and this was never requested. When I finally got my watch back there was no mention of the service/movement replacement work being done and when I questioned this, they said they had not done it! They get you to send your watch to them for no charge but to get it back they charge extortionate rates for the postal return. Seriously, DO NOT USE THEM! There are far better watch repair specialists out there. You can't even raise a complaint as their phone number just takes you to an automated service that has no one to speak to. I'm pretty sure that all of the 5 star google reviews are engineered too, beware!!

    Repairs by post have been brilliant from start to finish, constantly keeping you updated with the progress of your repair. My beloved watch, which is 20 yrs old, has come back like new. I am one happy customer. Thank you.

    I just wanted to write a short note to pass on my thanks for doing such a great job of repairing my watch that for me, has great sentimental value. It looks like new. From the start of the (very straightforward) process, right through to completion, your communications with me have been appropriate and exemplary, providing me with all the information I needed. You provide an excellent service and I would like you to pass on to those involved my sincere thanks for a job well done. I certainly will highly recommend you to anyone.

    Very happy with the repair and servicing of my 40plus year old Rotary quartz watch. It had laid in a drawer for 30 years and I assumed it would have seized up/battery leaked etc. but I sent it off to Repairs by Post and received it back fully working! Throughout the process you are kept fully informed of the status of the repair, it really is a pleasure to do business with this company. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

    Thank you to repair by post they've done an awesome job on my Timberland watch which has taken me a long time to get repaired. It's a very special watch to me as it was given to me by my oldest brother. I had a major operation in my kneck in 2000 and repair by post is the only guys who would repair it for me. Thank you again guys you the best

  • 5/5 James R. 1 year ago on Google
    A superb service. I thought my watch could either not be repaired or the cost would be prohibitive. Not so with Repairs by Post. Not only did they quote a good price but the kept me informed at every stage of the repair process. I’ve never experienced better.

  • 5/5 Tom C. 1 year ago on Google
    I was obviously nervous about sending an expensive watch away by post but couldn’t be happier with the service. Very professional and prompt from start to finish. Always kept up to date or just an email away. My watch returned in better condition than i expected after a repair to the bezel. Great service for a reasonable price, 5 ⭐️’s from me.

  • 5/5 Robert M. 1 year ago on Google
    The whole experience with Repairs By Post (Watch Repairs) was faultless from start to finish. Indeed, it was a joy. It's in the little details that Repairs By Post excels - from the all-inclusive price including postage to the parts and servicing. Over the years I have entrusted this company with three watches that have sentimental value to me and they have all been repaired and serviced with great care and attention to detail. It's not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I cannot recommend them enough!

  • 5/5 Kirstie Baker (. 1 year ago on Google
    I am really happy with the service I received from the team at Repairs by post. I received my watch back fully repaired, with the guarantee supplied quicker than I expected. Any questions I had during the process were answered quickly and efficiently either by email or phone. I would happily recommend their services.

  • 5/5 John M. 1 year ago on Google
    After visiting several jewellers without finding anyone able (or willing) to repair my family heirloom (a pocket watch) - sending photos and details to Repairs by Post and I got a quote within days. Easy to arrange - they set up postage and everything for you - repairs were done and the watch fully serviced. Returned by post, extremely well packaged. Included details o repair and full care instructions.

  • 5/5 Sarah A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very satisfied with the service all round. I had some worries about sending my watch by post but it was very well tracked, the other reviews reassuring and repair done perfectly and promptly. Definitely a good, better value service than going to Bvlgari direct.

  • 5/5 Mike T. 1 year ago on Google
    From start to finish really good communication about the watch repair status. Good price. Returned well packed and included the part that had been replaced. It’s nice to have my favourite watch back again working. Thank you.

  • 5/5 Rob H. 6 months ago on Google
    Excellent service and much more reasonable than many other places. I work local to them so I was able to drop off my watch and when complete, they dropped it off at my work. Obviously this wont apply for most people but it just showed the service level. Communication throughout was excellent. Couldnt be more pleased.

  • 1/5 Philip I. 10 months ago on Google
    Do not use. Company has gone bust and have still not returned my watch. They are saying I didn't give them a return address but this simply isn't true. I will happily update this review if / when my watch is returned but, for now, I would definitely avoid this company.

  • 5/5 Colin D. 11 months ago on Google
    My deceased dads old watch has no value but was damaged so I sent it to Repairs By Post and it received the same care as if it was far more valuable. Repairs By Post provide a first class service at a sensible price. One very satisfied customer 😊

  • 1/5 Richard S. 11 months ago on Google
    Rip off - dearer than the watch manufacturer and then want extortionate postage amount to return the watch. Do not use! Update - after paying for the return, this is how the watch was received by me today (photo). Bracelet broken

  • 5/5 Nick G. 4 months ago on Google
    Very pleased with the service I have received from ‘repairs by post’. Easy instructions to send off my watch. My watch was sent in for a battery change, but I suspected there was a bigger problem as the battery had only lasted a year since its last change and watch just stopped working. The Dreyfus watch was a 50th birthday present from my wife, so it has real sentimental value unlike most of my other watches. Great communication once watch arrived, assessment complete and a quotation sent online to approve. Payment instructions dead easy. Great communication all the way through the repair process, which was really impressive. Once watch was sent back I was pleasantly surprised to see that the watch movement needed replacing as the old movement was sent back with the watch! Keep up the great service and I will be using your service again soon !

  • 5/5 Geraldine T. 4 months ago on Google
    I sent a photo with details of my watch and I was promptly given a quote for the work. The quote was reasonable so I sent my watch in to Repairs By Post. I was regularly updated on its progress and my watch was returned to me in full working order after a few weeks. The charge was as quoted and I am thoroughly delighted with the service and professionalism of this company. Will definitely use agin when needed. Highly recommend. Thank you Jonathan for doing such a great job.

  • 5/5 Nigel H. 5 months ago on Google
    Fantastic service. Jonathan is very personable and helpful. My watch is 35 years old, fully restored and now working fine. Quick, efficient service and highly trustworthy

  • 5/5 Ron T. 6 months ago on Google
    Pleasant experience. Posted watch. Was notified when it arrived. Kept informed of progress. Watch returned sooner than expected at the cost which was quoted. My TAG looked like new. Very pleased with first class service.

  • 5/5 Wern 1 year ago on Google
    Found these guys online and wasn't sure, but other repairers haven't been able to fix a sentimental watch I had. The process was simple and seemed that transit was well protected. Watch came back working and very clean. It took a while but that doesn't bother me. Thanks RBP

  • 5/5 bren c. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic service would highly recommend. Couldn't find anyone to repair my particular watch so thought I'd take a chance with these guys, Great job and a fair price communication was very clear as well. Knew where my watch was in the queue and on its way home to me!

  • 5/5 Spitfire F. 2 years ago on Google
    What can I say. These guys do exactly what it says on the tin! The entire process is so simple, it's hard to believe. Communication is excellent and the quality of packaging was very impressive. My holiday watch is working again! Returned in impeccable condition (I think better than when posted out) Don't call or email anyone else... This is where its at... Mike M

  • 5/5 Mike G. 3 months ago on Google New
    My Longines wristwatch was serviced, repaired and returned in excellent condition. Communication throughout was exceptional. Would recommend and intend to use again.

  • 5/5 Gill B. 5 months ago on Google
    A great service from Repairs by Post! My watch was repaired quickly and to a very high standard! I was kept fully informed of progress by email! Thank you!

  • 5/5 Chris B. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent service! I have a Scuderia Ferrari watch that no High Street jewellers wanted to touch, so I sent it to Repairs by Post. They kept me in touch and their payment process was excellent. Watch returned, fully functioning. Thank you. Thoroughly recommend!

  • 5/5 Sian & Andy M. 2 years ago on Google
    I was a little concerned about sending an expensive watch to an internet based company. I did a bit of research, checked their workshop existed on Google maps and took the plunge. It was a good decision. The obtaining of a quote, information about work to be done and the information on the progress of the repair on their web site, mean that you are kept fully informed at every stage of the repair process. It is not cheap, but you get what you pay for. If i had another high end watch in need of repair i would use these guys without any hesitation at all.

  • 5/5 Tony C. 2 years ago on Google
    Service with a smile. From my first contact regarding repairs to my watch I was kept up to date at every stage. Any query was answered within a da. The repair itself is fantastic and I will have no problem with recommending Repairs by Post to anyone who requires excellent service and at an affordable price. Thank you:-)

  • 5/5 Marcus G. 2 years ago on Google
    very good quality service, I've had my watch for over 10years and when it worked it never kept the correct time. So it went in a drawer and stayed there till I decided to get it fixed, tried a few local's first who couldn't help. I then sent it off to Repairs By Post who got back to me very quickly with a quote to repair, gave them the go ahead to fix it and its now back on my wrist as a daily watch. thanks guys for your help.

  • 5/5 David L. 2 years ago on Google
    From initial contact to picking up my watch on completion - yes, I could not wait to get my watch back and it gave the car a run - I was impressed with the professional and helpful service. Admittedly it was only a flat battery but the service was still exemplary. Freepost ensured my watch was with RBP soonest and this triggers a step-by-step report as work proceeds. I was sent an invoice for the work and upon payment the work was carried out. Once completed, I was contacted via email to say it was ready and was given the option to collect it. This I did and met one member of the staff who was knowledgeable and friendly. Altogether, from start to finish, I had no complaints and would heartily recommend RBP for your watch repairs. I will definitely use their services again. Totally recommended.

  • 5/5 Roslyn H. 2 years ago on Google
    Very happy ! Trust repairs by post 100% . My watch has a huge sentimental value. It was my mums watch so it is irreplaceable irrespective of the value. I was kept informed every step of the way from posting survey repair and return . I am very pleased with the end result it’s just perfect ! Repaired with the original Vivienne Westwood parts. Thanks Guys .

  • 5/5 Jeffrey W. 2 years ago on Google
    Repairs by Post are a very reliable company to deal with, providing step by step updates on the repair process culminating in a very reliable repair But quality does not always mean cheap repairs. My watch had to be resealed after a battery replacement and that resulted in £50 plus outcome. You get what you pay for but confidence in this company with your prized processions goes without saying.

  • 5/5 Jenni K. 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent all round service. Easy to use. Lovely to have my watch back and NOT losing 2 minutes a day.

  • 4/5 Marianne H. 2 years ago on Google
    A very impressive service with excellent communication throughout. Was rather shocked at the high cost but that’s Rolex for you! Would recommend Repairs By Post to anyone requiring a first class, friendly service.

  • 5/5 Sarah H. 2 years ago on Google
    I was delighted to find Repair by Post. Having been told by the makers of my wrist watch in Switzerland that they could not mend it I was slightly hesitant in using Repairs by Post. I shouldn’t have worried. The watch is now back with me and working beautifully. Thank you.

  • 3/5 Brian D. 2 years ago on Google
    Communication from this company was really good and the service was easy to use. You are informed every step of the way. I rejected the quote as it was far too high. I feel if you had a reasonable quote and went ahead with repair you would be happy with this company. If rejecting it seems to be a different story. You take photos and tell them what is wrong. They then do an assessment and give a quote. Funnily enough this matches the photo and a quote could have been given from this. Be sure to check the cost of the return postage: it’s extortionate and seems to be to ensure they make money whether you get a repair or not. I’d recommend getting a quote elsewhere before posting your Apparently the excessive postage and packaging fees is also for a handling fee, which isn’t mentioned at all on the website. The only handling fee mentioned in the T&Cs is for insurance claims (mines wasn’t).
