Repair Process

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 travelling 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 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.

I’ve received the doll and had a quick sneak peek before giving her back to my Mum tomorrow. She looks really great, even better than the delightful pictures you sent to me. When I think of the state of the doll before your work, it’s truly amazing what you have managed to achieve. There may be tears when I hand Diana back to her owner of some 80 years tomorrow. Thanks very much for all of your work.

I want to say, I found his same doggy on eBay for a lot less and I was wondering if this was going to be worth the extra expense, but I’m so impressed with your work I’ve no regrets. Also, there’s just no substitution for the original doggy! You’re a lifesaver, Henry is a special guy and doggy has gotten him through an awful lot. You’ve made his year I’m sure.

Thank you so much. I’m actually in tears here looking at how lovely she looks. Please pass on my thanks to everyone involved. My mum would be so very happy as babydoll meant so much to her

Thank you so much for transforming Prudence to her former beauty. Her skin colour is just right and
her fingers and foot are perfect….. as though they’ve never been mended!

OMGosh…I had tears in my eyes watching the video; it has been so very, very long since she has
been able to ‘come to life’. I am forever grateful to Leith and their wonderful repair technician(s).

Hi miracle workers…I have received Mickey today and to say I was ecstatic would be an under statement…I am absolutely gobsmacked by the repair to his foot/boot, the deep clean to his clothes and his features are sparkling…you would never believe he is approximately 43 years old. I couldn’t wait to show him off to my work colleagues who loved him and asked about yourselves…so you might be getting some more much loved friends thru your door. Once again Thank You all.
