At Bygone Bears I pride myself on providing an expert,  friendly and sympathetic restoration, repair and cleaning service for teddy bears.  I use the best quality fabrics and parts and will match them as closely as possible to the original.  My aim is to carefully restore your teddy bear so that you can enjoy him for many more years to come. Please see my before and after photos.

A valuable antique or just a much loved childhood teddy, they will all receive the same care and attention. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and I am very happy to give advice on the care of your teddy bear.

Is your teddy tatty and in need of tender loving care?

Is his coat a little threadbare?

Have his paws seen better days?

And are his ears a little frayed?

Do his joints just squeak and grind?

Or is he now just totally blind?

Then don't despair!

I am here to repair

Just call me at Bygone Bears!

Thank you for visiting Bygone Bears Restoration and Repairs
