Very happy with work done & price, not that I have this done regularly but £15 seemed reasonable to me. The store is located up an alley way so could be difficult to find if not local. They do all the things that modern day cobblers do & more.

Once in there is a counter ahead and the staff are really friendly and welcoming - you feel like one of their friends. They are brilliant when you need repairs done to your boots and shoes and will try to get your items ready for you as quickly as possible if you are in a hurry, alternatively you can call back for them. They sell laces and shoe creams etc and do repairs to other items such as belts. Shame there isn't one of these on every high street so we didn't have to constantly buy new.

Has tackled a couple of awkward strap alterations for me to good standard too. Use these small shops, they're far cheaper than the chains or supermarkets - recently half the price Timpsons were going to charge.
This is a shoe repair (cobblers) shop. They also can engrave keys and pet tags. In addition to…read morethese services the shop sells handy household items such as house number plates and signs (which can be engraved) as well as things like key fobs and torch lights. The store is located on Bedlington front street beside an opticians and adjacent to the Comunity Centre. The windows are glass fronted so you can see the staff at work. The window displays are usually neat and organised, showing off a range of the products they supply and the services they cna offer. They are open most days and have a sign displaying opening times on the door. I find that the shop is usually manned by oe staff member who is efficient and good at his job. He is quite focused on his work and will finish jobs in a record speedy time. I have taken shoes there at the worst times of year, including the Christmas holiday period, and had them returned and in a brilliant condition by the next day. Pet tags can usuallly be finished in 15 minutes or so. The staff member will often ask you to return to the store and pick the goods up. Prices are good and the work is definately high quality. A first choice for shoe repair and engraving work in town.

My daughter took her brand new watch in a while ago as she needed a couple of links taken out. they did this within a couple of minutes and refused any cash payment which was very kind of them. Great little shop very cheap and efficient!
Timpson
This is a little brown fronted shop in Cleveland Centre (or the mall as it is now known) right…read moreopposite WHSmiths. It's been there for years and I think it's just a little family run business. Generally a shoe repair shop but it also does other jobs such as makes up dog collar tags, makes up numbers for your houses or little plaques with your house name on etc. They also take links out your watches as we found. Usually there is only one person serving behind the counter and they tend to deal with one person at a time, finishing a job before they move onto the next person so you may have to wait a while. They are quick and efficient though so you'll soon be served and out the way. The other thing is, is they're cheap. We've only ever been to have links taken out of a watch but it still only cost us £5, wheras it costs £10 in jewellers. The staff are really friendly and don't mind having a chat with you, very good service!

I needed a new strap for my designer watch and one of the employees Greg was so helpful. He went above and beyond to find the perfect strap for me.

It is a professionally run shop with knowledgable/friendly staff that seem to be the same guys from my first encounter. Well deserved 5 stars.

This set me at ease as I could just tell they knew what they were doing. the team did a fantastic job, all rubbish removed and the end product, JUST WOW. if you are wanting shutters or any blinds at all, you have to get Beautiful Blinds to do them.
