Timpson's is the place to go in the Abbeycentre for all your shoe/boot repair, key cutting, keyring buying, engraving needs.
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! read more
