Timpsons

The service here is amazing for a chain cobblers. The guy who works here is james and he is passionate about what he does and how he does it.

I recently used Timpsons in Marlborough to change a watch battery. This was carried out in about half an hour while I went and walked round the market. I was put off by the price at first: at around £20 it was more than I’d paid for the watch on eBay, and more than the £10−12 I had in my head. However I changed my mind when I learnt that this includes a lifetime guarantee, which means that I now have a card, and can have my battery changed at any branch of Timpsons totally free, for as long as that watch lasts.
Next day it was a downer to realise one of the buttons on my watch was cracked I couldn’t be honestly sure it wasn’t cracked before. Anyway, it’s still working fine, and I hope to still get at least one free change out of it!
This branch of Timpsons is actually part of a shop called Johnsons. I wasn’t quite sure who did what, but you can also get engraving, shoe repairs, a locksmith and dry cleaning, all useful things! Timpsons as a chain has branches all over the place (over 550 according to the website). One of my deciding factors was that they do have branches in London, so I won’t have to go all the way back to Marlborough to get my battery changed The guy who did the work was lovely really hope he wasn’t responsible for the cracking!
