A Family-Run Legacy of Precision Craftsmanship Since 1985

At Cobblers & Keys, we’re more than just a high-street name, we’re a family-run business built on decades of trust, craftsmanship, and dedication to quality service. With four thriving branches across Grimsby, Scunthorpe, Sheffield, and Nottingham, we proudly offer traditional services with a modern twist: expert shoe repairs, key cutting, watch repairs, battery replacements, engraving, and chipped car key fob programming… all with that personal touch.

Whether you’re popping in for a new watch battery or need an emergency shoe stitch before a big event, we treat every customer with the same care and professionalism we’ve built our name on.

A Lifelong Journey in Craftsmanship Cobblers & Keys is led by husband and wife team Nick and Dawn Clark, who together have dedicated their lives to the trade. Their journey began back in 1985, and between them, they now have over 70 years of combined experience in the shoe repair and key cutting industry.

Starting with just a single shop and a passion for doing things right, Nick and Dawn have grown their small family business into a trusted brand, now operating from four locations across the East Midlands and Yorkshire. Yet despite this growth, the heart of the business has never changed: offer quality work, fair pricing, and good old-fashioned customer service.
