Repairs
Make an enquiryOur vintage teddy bear repair service covers a wide range of common problems. From missing eyes and broken seams to damaged or missing paw pads, replacement joints, loose limbs, detached heads and general structural repairs. We regularly repair toys that need careful attention, so if your teddy has a problem, chances are we’ve seen it before and can help.
Many floppy teddy bears and soft toys simply need additional stuffing as it can compact through years of cuddles and play. A stuffing “top-up” helps restore your teddy’s shape and support
Every repair is carried out with care, so they can continue to be loved for many more years. 💚

Whether it’s a modern plush or a treasured vintage teddy, we treat every toy with the care it deserves. 💛

Before & After
LOUISE * * * * *
Angie is extremely knowledgeable and talented. She patiently explained the options for my 59 year old bear. I know a huge amount of research went into finding a colour match for the fabric. That's before the painstaking work started to clean and repair him. The result is outstanding and I am very grateful. I highly recommend Davey Bears.

Ange has done a fantastic job restoring my childhood cheeky bear. She really has brought him back to life and he now has many years ahead of him. I could never have imagined he would look this good. Thank you
