Dive Bottle Refilling Service

Our dive bottle refilling service accepts all standard cylinder sizes. Each fill is carried out gradually to ensure the cylinder reaches its correct working pressure safely — this is why the process takes 40 minutes or more and must be booked in advance.

Drop-off service available

Leave your bottle with us and collect same day or next day at a time that suits you.

Cylinder sizes accepted

3 litre, 7 litre, and 12 litre. Final price confirmed when you book — from £6.99.

Valid test certificate required

We can only refill bottles with a current, in-date test certificate. Dive bottles typically require re-testing every 5 years.

Not sure about your certificate?

Call us before you visit and we can advise. We cannot refill bottles with expired certification.

Direct PCP Air Rifle Refilling

Our direct refill service connects your PCP air rifle directly to our high-pressure compressor and fills it to the correct pressure for your specific rifle — from just £1 per fill. This is the fastest, simplest way to top up your air rifle without needing any equipment of your own.

  • Safe, accurate fill to your rifle's optimal pressure every time
  • No risk of overfilling — our technicians manage the process
  • Professional leak check included as standard
  • Expert advice on your specific PCP rifle's maintenance and charging intervals

How to Safely Refill a PCP Air Rifle at Home

If you have your own dive bottle and charging equipment, follow these steps every time you refill your PCP air rifle to avoid damage and reduce the risk of injury.

  1. Check pressures first Confirm your rifle's current pressure and your dive bottle's remaining pressure before connecting anything.
  2. Attach the filling adapter Connect the adapter firmly to your rifle's charging port — a loose connection will cause air loss and inaccurate fills.
  3. Connect the charging hose Attach the hose securely to your dive bottle valve. Check for any wear or damage to the hose before use.
  4. Open the valve slowly Always open gradually to prevent dangerous pressure spikes. Never open fully in one motion.
  5. Monitor pressure carefully Fill only to your rifle's maximum rated pressure — typically 200–250 bar. Never exceed the manufacturer's specification.
  6. Close valve and bleed the hose Shut the valve fully, then release pressure from the hose before disconnecting any fittings.
  7. Final safety check Inspect all connections and verify the fill pressure on your rifle's gauge before storing or using.
Important safety notice Never exceed your air rifle's maximum pressure rating. Only use dive bottles with current, in-date test certification. If you are unsure about any part of the refilling process, use our professional in-store service rather than attempting it yourself.
