I have went here a number of times to get my favourite shoes re-heeled and re-souled and have never been unhappy with the service. You can drop the shoes in and pay about £10 and come back in a couple of hours and they will be finished. The work done is always top quality and the service is always friendly and polite. Its based in Bloomfield Shopping Centre which means its close to parking, ATMs and plenty of other shops. Which is perfect if you are dropping shoes or keys in to get done.

Thankfully the city heel bar has remained and is now one of the very few left in the city. It really is surprising how much longer you can make a decent pair of leather shoes last if you re-heel them often enough. The city heel bar is fast and convenient if you work in town and need some shoe repair done as soon as possible. They can, if you ask politely enough, fix or re-heel your shoes while you wait. As well as this they are cheap, and compared to buying a new pair of shoes, it is a steal. They have a key cutting service too.

The repairs were carried out promptly both times while I waited and a good job was made of the heels which had been worn down to the main part of the heel underneath the rubber part or whatever it should be called - anyway they were pretty far gone and I'm quite sure you shouldn't wait that long! With that satisfactorily accomplished I returned another time with other shoes and the repair was just as good, again costing about £5.00, but I haven't had the opportunity to test a more complicated cobbling requirement such as getting a zip mended or heel lowered.

They offer on the spot key cutting, which is really handy and won't break the bank. The location is excellent with ATM's and on site parking you will be hard pressed to find a better service.

The man who works there is realistic about what he can do with shoes and boots that have been walked into the ground, but if he takes a job on, will always do it to the highest standard. I've handed over embarassing excuses for footwear to him and he has never failed to bring them round for me. They do ask for a small deposit of 'whatever you like' to get shoes re heeled, due apparently to people leaving shoes and not returning for them once the work has been done. New heels cost £3.50, and new soles are about a fiver. And as shoe menders and key cutting seem to go together in shops like peas and carrots, this shop stocks a dazzling array of fun coloured keys, if that's what floats your boat.

I've used them a lot in the past for getting keys cut, they do the fancy coloured metal keys with patterns on, so as time has gone by, I have replaced all my boring silver keys for these colourful interesting looking ones. They also do engraving, for the likes of name badges for your dog/cat, to signs for your door, and the prices are pretty reasonable. I have only used them once for their shoe repairs, which is their mainstay. I'd bought myself a pair of boots, and when I tried them on in the shop, I knew they would be a bit slippy and not wanting to take any risks, I took them round to Timpson's as it was the nearest place, and asked them if they would put non slip soles on them for me. That was no problem, and they asked me to call back for them later that day. I duly went about the rest of my shopping, and did the other few errands I had to do that day before calling back to collect them, only to find that one of the boots was really badly scuffed, and when I pointed it out to the guy who served me, he denied all knowledge, so needless to say, not impressed with that side of the business!
