Teddy bear and doll repair in New Mexico

4 businesses whose own websites say they are in New Mexico. One takes work in person.

Answer five questions

Where they are

Albuquerque and Anthony. One more does not name a town.

What kind of business

Three doll hospitals, one plush specialist.

Getting it to them

One takes work in person, one takes it by post, two do not say how. Ring before you drive anywhere.

What they say they do

None of them list specific repairs on their own site, so ask.

In New Mexico

  • Backus Design Works

    A small craft studio that repairs stuffed animals and soft sculpture, originally set up to cover warranty work on its own 'MY KIDS' toys and now taking in other makers' items too. You email photos first, they propose a replacement fabric, and stuffing is replaced with polyester fibre fill unless you ask about other options.

    BackusCrafts@gmail.com

    In their words: “If some items come with previous repairs, we will usually not work on that animal unless it’s structurally unsound or per your request.”

    New Mexico

    takes it by post

  • Dolls 4U

    Anita, buying, selling and repairing dolls from 1880 to 1970 in Albuquerque since 1984. By appointment, and she is at three New Mexico doll and toy shows a year, which is a better way to meet her than the website.

    2101 Louisiana Blvd., Albuquerque, 87123(505) 506-2798nitak2@hotmail.com

    In their words: “Remember: I do not buy newer (post 1970) porcelain dolls!”

    you can hand it over

  • The Doll DoctorDDA member

    Listed in the Doll Doctors Association hospital locator, in Albuquerque, NM. We have not read a website for them, so we cannot tell you what they take on, what they refuse, or what it costs. The contact details are theirs and are published here as the directory published them. Ring before you rely on any of it: of the entries in these same lists that did give a website, nearly half pointed at a domain that no longer exists.

    Doesn’t say how you get it to them

    Anthony

    Doesn’t say how you get it to them

Everywhere, including New Mexico

6 of these are national rather than local: a chain with a shop near most people, a restoration franchise dispatched to wherever the damage is, a manufacturer's own service. They are as available in New Mexico as anywhere else.

The Doll Doctors Association lists 2 members in New Mexico

We are not going to reprint their phone numbers here. Those were published by the association, about them, and passing them on second hand from a site they have never heard of is not ours to do. Their own locator is the list those people agreed to be on, and it is the one that gets kept up to date.

  • The Doll Doctor

    Albuquerque · no website listed

  • Doll and Duds

    Anthony · no website listed

Their locator, with the contact details Read their guidance before you send anything. They say plainly: do not ship until the hospital has agreed to take it, and insure it for its replacement value both ways.

Or post it to one of these

23 businesses anywhere in the country say they take work by post. Before you send anything: of the 194 we have read, 2 say anything about insuring your item while it is with them. Insure the parcel yourself, both ways.
