Timpson, Ltd

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!

This is a great and extremely useful small business located in the Abbey Centre. Timpsons offer a range of services including key cutting, shoe repairs and engraving. Normally I come here, either to get a new set of keys cuts (I’m hopeless at keeping them safe!) or to get a pair of boots re-​heeled. This is a great way of keeping old shoes new and means you don’t have to go out and spend another load of money on a new pair. Normally this service is fast and efficient and it’s incredibly cheap too. The guys who work here are good craic, who’ll have a chat with you while you wait and they’re all great at their job. Most of them have worked here for ages, so they know what they’re talking about and how to do their job. Good job Timspsons.
