Such a surprise find and local, lovely friendly owners Alex and Vanessa.
I was looking to change my Tag Heuer watch battery but wary of shoddy places. Decided to give this place a go after one of the positive review about the same service I was after. Alex was very upfront and honest and I’m very happy with the services provided.
Will definitely be back!

I have found my new jeweller!!!
I was looking for a new jeweller as mine had just retired. I went to one of the local ‘chain jewellers’ and was advised by the manager to go to ‘Tinkers’ to do the repair on my jewellery as they did not do ‘that type of repair’ and if I wanted the best ‘Tinkers’ was the place to go. I went today and I have to say they were absolutely right. They are a small family based business that certainly pack a punch with the service and knowledge they provide. Alex & Vanessa are absolutely amazing and I will be a loyal customer moving forward.
I would like to point out I did take note of previous comments made on this website before I went to Tinkers. I think the comment regarding ‘Would not serve me without mask’ was made unfairly and out of context. When I queried this, I was advised that when staff are dealing with customers within a very close proximity then a mask would be required. I think this is more than fair! Actually I think as a small business they have the right to ask people to wear masks as they enter the business. This family business do not have the ‘luxury’ of being able to rely on casual or other staff to stand in for them if they get ill!!!! Some people need to be just a little bit more considerate! A mask on for 5 or 10 minutes is not the end of the world!!!!!!!
