I always get my blues mixed up) coat of paint all over it. Shoe repairs aren't something I'm ever in need of, but key cutting is because i'm always losing them. I nipped down the road and was greeted by a friendly man on his own in the shop, he cut a spare for my door key in a matter of minutes and sent me on my way a few quid lighter. I could have gone to a Timpson's in Morrissons but when there are wonderful local businesses to support it makes no sense to go to a slightly soulless chain. They also offer and engraving service.

As well as key cutting the other main service provided here is the fixing of shoes, which is a blessing when you own as many as I do! My flatmates and I have often taken bags of boots, heels and the like in to be resoled or reheeled and the chaps behind the counter have always been helpful. The prices are fairly average (around £4 to reheel a pair of shoes) and the service is always with a smile. If Instant Services can't fix whatever you bring in then they are always happy to recommend another shop that might be able to help, which is the mark of a successful and contented business. In my experience service can take a few hours depending on what you want but that gives you a chance to explore the rest of the market. You can of course drop something off and pick it up on a later date.
