Every soft toy repairer we hold

An accredited conservation studio in Bristol, run by Alison Lister, working for the National Trust, English Heritage and Eton College as well as private owners. Teddy bears are on their list alongside tapestries and ecclesiastical textiles. Their write-up of a private toy collection sooted by a house fire is the most careful description of soft toy cleaning anywhere in this dataset.

A teddy bear hospital and soft toy cleaning workshop in Cornwall, run by Angie, doing cleaning, restuffing, repairs such as eyes, seams, paw pads, joints and detached heads, and full restoration of vintage bears. Dog attack rebuilds are taken case by case, work is quoted after they inspect the bear, and you have to phone to book a posting slot.

Sam repairs and restores teddy bears from a home workshop in Dorset and Devon, and also buys and sells antique and vintage bears. She publishes a full price list covering cleaning, restuffing, darning, relining, joints, eyes, noses, growlers and moth treatment, and books bears in for set periods of the year.

A London dry cleaning chain with branches, offering what they call a repair, restoration and cleaning service for all soft toys, plus an ozone clean aimed at bacteria rather than dirt. A dry cleaner offering restoration rather than just a wash is unusual, and this is exactly the elastic supply nobody aggregates.

A London dry cleaner with six branches and a published soft toy cleaning price list by size, from 15.95 to 69.95 pounds. Free collection and delivery, same-day and 24-hour turnarounds, and everything done in house rather than sent out. Cleaning only, though they do repairs and alterations on clothing.

A family restoration firm since 1968 covering buildings and contents, with a classic toys line that takes teddy bears, ceramic dolls, rocking horses and dolls houses. Because the same firm does wood, metal, ceramics, textiles and fine art, they can take a toy that is several of those at once, which most specialists cannot.

A dry cleaner in Goldsworth Park with a dedicated soft toy cleaning service, twenty-five years in the trade, and free collection and delivery across west Surrey. Cleaning only: they do repairs and alterations on clothing, not on toys.

An art conservation studio that takes dolls and teddy bears as a matter of course, working to conservation standards rather than repair ones. They rebuilt a 1939 papier mache and cloth monkey called Salty from photographs, including a new pipe, scarf, jacket, hat and concertina. Free quotation, nationwide.

Since 24 September 2025, every John Lewis shop except Swindon and Canary Wharf, plus more than 200 Waitrose shops, takes soft toys in over the counter for a deep clean and minor repairs. Run by Johnsons, the Timpson Group cleaner, whose staff were trained for it by the two Repair Shop teddy bear ladies. A published price list by size, which almost nobody else in this trade offers.

A soft toy repair service that offers cleaning, mending and re-stuffing of teddy bears and plush toys. The site describes hand repairs to tears, loose seams and missing parts, and re-stuffing flat or lumpy toys, but gives no address, phone number, prices or turnaround times.
