Can’t speak highly enough of the service I’ve received from Gareth. The 3 pairs of footwear were in need of some love and they’ve come back looking nearly as new, brilliant stuff
I contacted The Handbag Clinic and they quoted £75 for a small repair. DGSL did it for £5!!! Amazing family business and their trainer transformations are really special. Thank you for your help in repairing one of my favourite bags.
Amazing service. Sorted my shoes out right in front of me. Couldn’t be more pleased with the results. Stayed past his usual hours to make sure they were done to perfection.
What a fantastic service! I dropped off two pairs of Axel Arigato trainers —one with a tear in the heel and another which were in a really bad way. To my amazement, both pairs came back looking as good, as new (Tear in the heal repaired). I couldn't be happier with the results. I'll definitely be returning in the future for my trainer cleans and repairs! Thank you, Matthew!

We have used DGSL a few times now, extremely pleased with the results, brought life back into my Valntino’s , saved me having to buy new ones !! We also took Gucci and Dior ladies bags and really happy with the care taken and the end results!
Great customer service from Gareth, always welcoming with a smile very good at what he does !! If you want your worn sneakers to look box fresh, he’s your guy !!!
Fantastic service. Trainers all look brand new. Over the moon with the results.
Friendly and helpful owner, cleaned my trainers quickly whilst we were visiting for the day. They are now good as new.

Absolutely amazing service and such nice people! They restored my Ysl bag after having bad colour transfer and I couldn't be happier. I got updates all throughout and the price and time frame was unbeatable. Would 100% recommend!
The most friendly and professional team, the shop is absolutely gorgeous! Wouldn’t go anywhere else 5**** highly recommend 🥰
Gareth and the team are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable people in the industry. Nothing is too much trouble. Gareth is honest with all his customers and if he thinks there is alternative cheaper option he will always put that forward. In these times where everyone is feeling effects of less disposable income the option to have loved items refurbished to an exceptional standard is invaluable.Keep up the great work DGSL.
Easily the best place to get your shoes looking great again.The owner of DGSL is also very helpful explaining exactly what he is going to do the the shoes and the outcome. Great service.
Visited at the weekend and purchased a new pair of trainers. What great service you receive. All the team were so knowledgeable and friendly. Will 100% be returning and recommending. Thanks DGSL 💫

Fantastic and friendly service by Gareth and the team, I can’t recommend highly enough!
Always accommodating and welcoming, great at what he does, completely brings shoes back to life! Made my poor dirty shoes white again!
These guys are wonderful! Initially they restored my mulberry handbag and I was over the moon! They sent me updates and pictures of it too! The communication was 5*. Then we took in my mums handbag and it looks wonderful!!!! She is over the moon! Thank you guys! Really reasonably priced and decent, local hardworking people who deserve some recognition 🙂
So pleased with the results of my sons Jordan black cats clean. They look like new again. Fast service and great prices.
First class craftsmanship and talent! Amazing service as always. Thank you for all the hard work!
So attentive and knowledgeable, knew exactly how to treat my suede trainers. Mum and son have a great relationship and really put me at ease that my trainers were in safe hands 👍
Without a doubt, Gareth is the guy you wanna take your trainers/shoes/handbags to because not only will they be in thr best hands they will come back even better than they started!I've already recommended Dr G to many of my girlfirends (wedding shoes have been a complete game changer!)So much cheaper to get your favourite shoes looking new again than having to say goodbye to those comfy favourites - go down and check him out.
I got a pair of my Nike Dunks cleaned here and they did an excellent job, highly recommend!
Had my favorite pair of sneakers cleaned here and I’m so happy with the results. I suffer with horrible flat feet and my shoes are the only way I make it through my work day!Highly recommend!!! Not only do they do a terrific job but they are such kind individuals. If you’re looking to support a small family business then I recommend them. Thank you so much!
Was so glad to see somewhere like this locally and even more so when speaking with the owner. He was so knowledgeable and friendly, service was fast and My Gucci trainers are now wearable again for a great price. Highly recommend will definitely use again! Thank you!
