I always thought this was a hole in the market and it has been Timpson that has filled that hole…read more You always used to see lots of small, independent heel bars and key cutters but these people have brought all that together and put it under one roof. I kind of feel weird in supporting a chain store and stuff but they do provide an excellent service at a really reasonable price. I have got plenty of keys cut in here and have got a pair of brogues that I love repaird 3 times, and while that service isn't the cheapest, they've always done an ace job. If you need any of that weird stuff done, this is probably the best place to go.

I have used Timpson many times when I lived in London for watch and shoe repair and was never…read moredissatisfied with the service I received. Therefore I was lead to believe the experience would be not different at this shop. I have an expensive watch in which one of the little aesthetics on the clock face had come loose and I was leaving it so the aesthetic piece could be stuck back to the clock face. Not a tough job and a watch repairman has told me since it should have taken 2mins at a cost of £5. However the Belfast Timpson branch does not employ watch repairmen... I am completely disgusted with how my watch was treated. I left it in a week before I went on holiday and was told it would be ready when I got back by the employee (late 20s, dark hair). When I went to pick it up on return from my holiday I found it had been sitting in a drawer ever since. The employee on this day then began to complain about the other employee at some length, saying he's useless and makes false promises and that is why he wasn't fixed in time. This employee (50s grey hair) then began to take a look at my watch, and then systematically began to destroy it right in front of me. Due to his butter-fingered approach he broke the pusher, and snapped the minute hand in half. He then claimed its cheap quality and isn't worth getting fixed. He claimed it is a Pilipino fake, which is a blatant lie as I bought the watch several years ago from a Swiss watch shop in Geneva. I know it's worth and repair costs would have been a fraction of its actual value. At this point I took my watch back and left. I wish I was entitled compensation for their shoddy handiwork but Timpson dont see it that way! Shame on Timpson as a company in my opinion. Now I'm facing the problem of having to find a VERY skilled watch maker who can fashion me a suitable pusher and watch hands, and hopefully fix the mechanism which his bullish 'repair' broke as well. My conclusion: these people know nothing and I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy. If I could give them 0 out of 5 stars but unfortunately yelp only allows a minimum of 1 out of 5.

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.

Twice I have shoes re-heeled in this place, having first found it by looking it up and discovering…read moreit was convenient to whatever else I was doing at the time. 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.

So if I own a pair of shoes and the sole has wore out on them, I'm gonna throw them out, not take them here and have them repaired. But there has been more than one occasion where I manage to completely lose my house keys and need to get a new set cut. The people who work here are always pleasant and very helpful. More importantly, their always cheap. Getting keys cut in Belfast has became an expensive business but here its still very reasonable, a few quid per key. So to save my thrifty bake some pennies, I go here instead of staying local where if I get my key's cut, I'll be able to get into my house, but not stock its fridge or pay the bills. Now that is a magical over exaggeration, but you know what I mean.
