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
Shona21 July 2024Brilliant service from all the lovely people at Leith Toy Hospital! Mam's old porcelain doll Trixie was fixed like new, with flawless paint touch-ups, repaired eyes, new voice, and re-stringing. Very well packed and fast, next-day return postage. And the doctor's note from Dr Joel was a lovely touch for extra smiles! Highly recommended, no question! THANK YOU! :-D
Richard kettlestring8 July 2024Great service, on time as agreed, my bear looks as new. Would recommend
Lynn Glasby1 July 2024A fantastic restoration of my late mum's teddy quite large about 100 years old. We are giving him to our daughter as a surprise on her wedding day. My mum is much missed but in spirit she will be there through her much treasured teddy bear.
Veronica Lancaster5 June 2024I am really delighted with my teddy bear's repairs. The Toy Hospital have done a miraculous job. Jim, our teddy is very old but he now looks beautiful. All the contact that I have had from start to finish has been efficient and friendly. He arrived home this morning in a large box which was packed with great care. I would like to say a big thank you to you all at the Edinburgh Toy Hospital, Leith.
Urška Zupan23 May 2024Everyone here was quick to respond, kind and accommodating and they did a wonderful job with my teddy🧸❤️ 10/10 recommending them to everyone.
Ian Wilkinson21 May 2024Brilliant repair of my 50 year old sheepskin teddy. Couldn’t find anyone else in UK to work on animal skin and they did a great job. Answering email and phone calls not their strong point but end result well worth it.
Daniela Lucas14 May 2024Amazing team. My poor Snoopy was almost losing its head and came back from Leith Toy Hospital as new. Cannot recommend them enough.
Ash Evans11 May 2024Absolutely amazing teddy team! Fixed my boy right up and hes looking better than ever now, seriously can't thank you enough for the work you do. I'm so pleased with how he turned out and so glad I sent him to you, fair pricing and I got him back very quickly :)
