Default Leather zip repairs in or around berkshire?

Im sure ive seen recommendations on this before, but couldnt find the place i was thinking of in a quick search. Got some hein gericke leather trousers for a fiver, good nick but just needs a new zip...anyone know somewhere local, reputable and not too expensive? (as theyll be a backup/pair for the gf to wear...miles too big but with bracers they are ok for her lol)

A google would suggest nine lives in farnboro or some bird in woodcote. Anyone used these?

Interesting. On my BKS leathers the poppers on the trousers are weak and pop open, one popper at the neck has broken, the zip tab has recently broken off on the main jacket zip and there is a small hole in the breathable material on my left arm from a crash. And the waist of my jacket has always been too large for me. I think I will be giving them a call tomorrow!

I've used Nine Lives before, would definitely recommend them.
