A signed, photographed valuation of your bike that you can give to your insurer. Includes replacement cost new, current market value and a full component list. Collection and return available.
Children's bikes take a lot of knocks and get outgrown fast, so they need checking more often than you would think. Warm, plain-English advice, and we tell you what needs doing before we do it.
A grow-with-me adjustment (saddle, handlebars and brake reach) is free with any kids' service.
Family price: 10% off when you book two or more kids' bikes together. Just mention it when you book and we take it off the bill.
Kids' safety check
A quick, careful once-over so the bike is safe to ride again. Good for a bike that has been in the shed, or handed down.
Rim swap onto existing hubsNew nipples are included: brass at no extra cost, or aluminium for £5 extra per wheel in red, blue, black, silver, dark green, purple, gold or dark grey. If your spokes are damaged, or the new rim is a different type (size or spoke drilling), the spokes will need replacing too, and we'll quote that first.
Labour only, with a minimum workshop charge of £15 per visit. We'll fit parts you supply, or quote parts first. Press Book on any job to add it to a booking: on its own, or ticked on top of a service when you book.
Collection & return
£30, both ways
We collect from your door and bring the bike back when it's done. One price covers both journeys. We cover Rochford, Rayleigh, Hockley, Ashingdon, Canewdon, Hawkwell, Hullbridge and Stambridge.
Outside those areas? Choose collection anyway — your booking is flagged for us to check, and we'll confirm by email before anything is arranged.

We collect and return across Rochford District — Rochford, Rayleigh, Hockley, Ashingdon, Canewdon, Hawkwell, Hullbridge and Stambridge. Collection and return costs £30 for both journeys. If you're just outside the area, book anyway and we'll confirm whether we can reach you.
Will you do any work without asking me?+
No. If we find something beyond the booked service, we send an estimate to My Shed with photos and notes. Nothing extra is done until you approve it.
Are parts included in the service price?+
No. Service prices cover labour. Any parts needed are estimated first and only fitted once you approve them. We're also happy to fit parts you supply.
How do I pay?+
When your bike is ready you'll get an invoice in My Shed. You can pay securely by card through Stripe or with PayPal. We never see or store your card details.
What kinds of bikes do you work on?+
Mountain bikes, gravel, road, hybrid, kids' bikes and e-bikes. We've been servicing bikes since 2012.
Garbaruk parts say 'ordered in' — what does that mean?+
Travers Bikes is an authorised Garbaruk distributor. We order Garbaruk parts in for you when you buy, and they usually arrive in about three weeks. We'll email you when your order ships.
What riders say
5.0 ★ from 17 Google reviews
Most of our work comes from riders telling other riders. If we've looked after your bike, a review really does help — and if something wasn't right, tell us first and we'll put it right.
