Due to my theatre work, I can only perform toy surgeries for part of the year. The November surgery slots are now completely full, and the next phase won’t be until January 2026. Please contact me after January 2nd when I shall be able to triage your stuffed friend and book you in.
If you require a surgery as a Christmas gift, I can provide gift certificates for repairs in the new year. Please request these before December 4th as I will be away from my computer after that, until after Christmas. Sorry for any inconvenience.
One of my favourite things to do is restore faithful stuffed friends to health. I understand the importance of retaining as much of the original toy as possible – staying true to their character. I know that sometimes the seemingly insignificant detail is the most important part. I can bathe them, fluff up remaining fur, line them from the inside – so that should holes develop in the future stuffing will not be lost, secure seams, darn holes, replace eyes, and though I can’t promise they’ll look new (and let’s face it, that’s not the idea – if we wanted a new bear that would be easy!) they will leave my hospital feeling refreshed, with perky ears and all their limbs.
If a friend is required to enable sleep – I can in a lot of cases, offer a one day emergency surgery, if you can drop off early and collect just before bedtime.
I am based in Leyton E10 – East London. Toys can be dropped off by arrangement, or posted using a 24 hour tracked service.
