Scotland’s Toy Repair Shop
Leith Toy hospital
Restoring your beloved toys to their former glory
so they can be loved for many more years
What we do
Do you or your child have a favourite toy who’s just been loved and cuddled that bit too much? A teddy full of holes, a doll with missing limbs, or someone who’s just lost their smile? Leith Toy Hospital can help with all your toy repair needs!
Hundreds of toys pass through the doors of our Leith repair shop every month, with patients traveling from all over the world for our specialist toy repair and restoration services. Our toy restorers’ work ranges from much loved children’s toys to antique bear restoration.
Favourite toys hold many memories and connections to the past, and it can be very upsetting when they become damaged. We know how important it is that they retain the same character and expression, so will make absolutely sure that this is preserved.
Our past patients have ranged in age from 1 to 120 years! They are all treated with dignity and respect, cared for by our team of expert toy restorers. We can do everything from sewing patches to re-building broken limbs, and no job is too big or small.

our happy clients
Absolutely brilliant service. He still lo9ks like our bear but a far healthier version - thank you so much
Helen Cole9 March 2025Leith Toy Hospital restored a treasured Snowman soft toy who was looking worse for wear and a bit grey. They restuffed his arms and cleaned him up good as new. We’re thrilled with the results. If you have a cuddly friend who is in need of some loving restoration, then the talented people at Leith Toy Hospital are for you. Couldn’t be happier.
Bethan Jenkins5 March 2025Great service with excellent results in refurbishing my 65 year old Panda ! Very happy I can cuddle him again without a leg falling off !
Janett Fall5 March 2025Brilliant. They will fix your little critter, and are very nice with it too.
Iain MacIntyre1 March 2025I have a bear who I've had for 60yrs and he was rather worse for wear . Only had 1 leg , 1 arm had fallen off and quite a few repairs needed. I've been going to get him repaired for years but finally got in touch with the toy hospital at the end of last year . Excellent service , communication at every stage and a fabulous job done . Very happy with how big ted looks and sounds as new growler fitted as well . Thank you so much.
cath lapsley21 February 2025My beloved old Teddy (he’s 61) has arrived back and I want say how delighted I am with his tedimedics! He looks just as he should, in such good condition now but has lost none of his character. I’ll make sure he never gets in that state again. They really deliver. Before and after photos show his extensive work, including dealing with moth. Leith Hospital is wondrous!!!! I really recommend their excellent care, system of invoicing and communicating.
Helen C20 February 2025The Leith Toy Hospital provide an excellent, considerate restoration service to tired toys and teddies in need of TLC, supported by friendly and helpful comms. Highly recommended.
seaton price20 February 2025Better than The Repair Shop and no need to be on TV to get an outstanding job done The Team at Leith's Toy Hospital are literally magicians My beloved victorian doll had become crushed when moving and they painstakingly put her face back without a blemish - if they did human's I'd be booking myself in! They gave a very reasonable and fair quote Workmanship like this doesn't happen quickly, but the wait is worth it Highly recommend
miss Nicoli17 February 2025Great customer service, gave good advice when required. Kept me informed on the whole process of repairing my vintage teddy. I couldn’t be happier with the finished result and can highly recommend the Leith Toy Hospital
Suzanne Denton16 February 2025So incredibly happy with the work done by the team at Leith Toy Hospital!!! I thought my beloved childhood bear was beyond repair but he has been restored to his natural state. I’m not sure how the team managed it but he looks brand new again whilst also still retaining his old features that I loved and I’m so grateful. Thank you to everyone who helped bring him back to life ❤️
