Second time using Simplespex

Second time using Simplespex. Once again exemplary service
from George and staff - communication, advice, speed of turnaround, workmanship and of course excellent value for money.
I can't recommend Simplespex highly enough.

I’ve been looking to fix my broken pair…

I’ve been looking to fix my broken pair of rimless glasses, snaped on the bridge but couldn’t find a repair store. I got in touch with Simplespex. I am very pleased with the repairs, I received my glasses back with no time which beautifully mended polished shiny as a brand-new pair, couldn’t ask more. I particularly like the way they responded to my queries quickly and reassuring, highly recommended store.

Amazing service!

One of the metal arms holding a rubber nose pad suddenly broke off. I sent a picture of it and received a very reasonable quote to replace both. George was very honest about my options for repair. Posted my frames on a Monday and received them back by Thursday. Amazing service!!

Excellent service

Excellent service. Amazing Spectacles.

I ordered varifocals regkazing with transitions. I was bit worried but took a leap of faith. I don't regret it all.

My experience has been excellent.
I recommend with hesitation.

Sent three pairs glasses to Simplespex…

Sent three pairs glasses to Simplespex after my local optician told me they couldn’t be fixed and I’d need to buy new frames. Had never heard of this company before so was sceptical I was just sending expensive frames to a random company never to be seen again. All three pairs came back fixed within a week and I even got a refund for one pair because it was a cheaper type of repair than I had paid for. Will be recommending them to everyone I know who wears glasses!

First Class Service from George

First Class Service from George. He advised me how to choose the correct replacement full frame. The work was completed in just a few days, was of excellent quality and great value.
Cannot recommend enough 👍
Thank You

Definitely recommend!

Quick, efficient and honest! I sent a pair of glasses off for a repair a retail chain told me wasn’t possible and they were fixed and back with me within a week. I was even partially refunded because the repair I had chosen wasn’t actually needed and I’d paid too much. Can’t recommend enough!

Excellent excellent service

Excellent excellent service. Swift and you actually get to speak to the person named on the website, who fixed the glasses, which arrived back in 3 working days!
I wish all business operated like this.

Great customer service and repair

Having been to a high street optician where my frames and lenses came from to ask if they could repair the arm that had come off my glasses, I was told they could not repair them as the spring was broken and I would have to buy new frames and lenses. I found Simplespex on my search engine who after receiving my photo of the damage said they could be repaired. The service was beyond amazing in the finish the cost and the time frame of sending them off and receiving them back fully repaired. I can’t thank George enough and would recommend him 100 times over.

FIRST CLASS customer service.


Within the domain of Customer Services, the highest accolade that can be awarded within the industry is the recognised term “FIRST CLASS”. Apple and Rolls Royce being just two such worthy recipients. The level of service I’ve just received from George at Simplespex, is indeed FIRST CLASS. Superb workmanship. Rapid turnaround and excellent value for money. Can HIGHLY recommend! Sincere thanks George, for a job so very well done!

Fast and efficient repair!

A Silhouette rimless side-arm snapped off in late December. By default I would have gone to a local opticians to seek a repair, but shops were closed and in any case I now realise this would have been a waste of time.
By chance I came across simplespex on the internet. Sceptical at first, I was astounded how quickly George replied to my query, and for his excellent and money-saving advice.
I received my repaired glasses just a few days later. The 'copy' titanium side-arms to me are indistinguishable from the originals, and are just as comfortable.
Very impressed with the speed and quality of service!

Simplespex is a star

I would like to say thank you to Geroge for his professional advice, help and service to fix my glasses. My glasses are alway sliding down from my nose and I snapped one of the hinges. George not only fitted in nose pad arms to stop my glasses sliding down from my nose, but also repaired my broken hinge of my glasses. He is very helpful. The service is speedy and I managed to get my glasses back before Christmas. Highly recommand to anyone who needs optical advices or service.

Thoroughly recommended

Thoroughly recommended - I used their reglazing service for ultra high index lenses and they were excellent. Fast turnaround (only took a few days) and very reasonably priced. Give George a call if you can't find what you want on the website - he is an absolute professional.

Simplespex is SimplyAwesome

As long as SimpleSpex continues in business I can't imagine going anywhere else. This place SimplyAwesome.! Slightly wary when I first arrived at the somewhat unusual premises but as soon as I got chatting I realised I was probably in the right place. Now I have my glasses I can say with absolute certainty this place / owner is simply outstanding. Thanks so much

Outrageously efficient

Outrageously efficient, friendly and fabulous! I was distraught when my glasses broke and Simplespex were my saviour.
The opticians said they were unfixable...but that was a lie. Simplespex blew me away with their skills, knowledge and speedy service. The glasses were fixed and returned within two days. I am blown away. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Wow What A Fabulous Glasses Repair Service

Wow what a fabulous glasses repair service. I broke my glasses last Friday. Posted them the same day, to Simplespex, on Next Day Delivery basis. The glasses were returned to me as good as new on Wednesday. Brilliant. Thank you Simplespex. Thought I was going to have to buy a new pair.
