Use the links above to see some types of repairs with a rough guide to prices, examples of past repairs to give you a flavour of what is possible, a Frequently Asked Questions and answers page and details of how to contact me and send your prized possession.  If you need something repaired that does not feature on these pages then repair may still be possible, just give me a ring or send me an email and we can discuss the problem, cost and timescale.

However, I know that some people are unwilling to trust their broken doll or teddy to the postal system.  Doll's hospitals are few and far between but I will try to build up a list of hospitals located elsewhere in the UK.  I cannot vouch for or personally recommend their services - if you have had personal experiences of using other people's services then please share them with me.  If you fancy having a go at repairs yourself then some really good suppliers are listed below.

At the bottom of the page you will also find some interesting links to Toys, Teddies and Dolls information and suppliers.

Lisa at the Sasha Hospital specialises in Sasha Dolls and can cure your doll of a variety of common ailments.  All makes of Vinyl Dolls are welcome and she can probably re-root most fashion dolls.

www.dollshouserestoration.com -   I have been building and restoring house for a while now from a studio in London.   I assess with the client how much of a restoration they want doing.   Sometimes they have vintage, collectible, houses which are still played with and so I am employed to ensure the structure of the house and to spruce it up, while not damaging its historical integrity.   Others require a full restoration where by I research the house and return and missing parts.   Even replicated wallpapers and paint colours.   I also have a flickr website with some before and after pictures - www.flickr.com/photos/dollshouserestoration.

Fauds & Gibbles are a Doll and Teddy Bear Hospital, standards and quality are a priority, so we would hope never to have disgruntled customers!  We are of course in the North of Scotland.  There are very few of us about.  Shirley restores, repairs, and dresses the bears, both old and young.
