Teddy Bear and Stuffed Toy Repair by Mar-Ke Mohair

We specialize in the repair and restoration of collectible and antique mohair teddies and toys. Stuffed toy repair and restoration is our passion… every collectible toy is as special to us as it is to you. While teddy bear repair is my website, the repairs are not limited to just bears. Stuffed toy repair is our ONLY business. I don’t simply fix a toy, I restore your memories!

Specializing in the cleaning, repair and restoration of quality mohair teddy bears and other animals such as: Steiff, Hermann, Merrythought, and many more! Though we focus on these collectible brands, we work on most types of plush toys (however, I do not work on dolls). If you can send me just a few pictures of your toys, I am happy to provide repair and pricing information. Please check the FAQs page for more specifics, including minimum charges. We hope you enjoy the pages of our website, as we have attempted to answer as many of your questions with the information included here.

Please be patient in waiting for a response to your repair requests.

As of March 2024, I am currently booked with work until the beginning of June, 2024. In order to get on my waiting list, please submit a request through my contact page with several clear photos. I will answer emails as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience!

“Teddy arrived today and is now resting in his rocker after his long trip. He is beautiful, Martha, and I can’t thank you enough. My mother, I know, would have been very pleased.”
Patricia S.

“Teddy arrived yesterday and I was absolutely thrilled when I saw him! I don’t know how you managed to do this, but he actually feels softer than he did when I first purchased him…and he smells fresher, too! Thanks so very much for all your help.”
Deanna W.

“Thank you again for your work on my bear, he looks wonderful! I am so happy that I found you, apparently all is not wasted on internet searches!”
Trish G.

“My mum received her teddy bear yesterday for her birthday and was just overwhelmed with joy (many tears were shed). Thank you so much for your time and care for her Wobbly!”
Emily M.

“Thank you again for the work you did on my leopard, he looks amazing! You are so very talented!”
Rusty T.

“The 3 bears have arrived home looking stunning as always – the smaller apricot fellow so was so filthy and now he is actually a beautiful color! Everyone else looks terrific too.”
Susan M.

“I just had to share that my husband got his bear tonight – he had no idea I had him repaired. It was part of his birthday present. I told him, “Okay this is a gift of love.” Thought he’d dismiss it a little, men you know. But he was TOTALLY THRILLED! He took pictures of him and sent them to his mom!! It was so sweet! He declared that the bear stays in the house now. He kept saying you were a miracle worker. And you are. Thank you so much, Martha. Your work is wonderful.”
Carrie A.

“I am so very very pleased! Your painstaking work and thoughtfulness at every step is apparent immediately as I look at Gilbert “in person” once again. He is so clean, compared to his “state of fur” when he departed here — I’m just amazed the difference that that makes — but it’s not a difference which in any way diminishes his journey through life. It is a respectful cleaning, and that is a great factor…He is stronger, his head posture looks perfect. All in all, you really have my heartfelt thanks! Should I ever have the opportunity to recommend bear restoration with this skill in the future, to other collectors, you will be the very first person I name. Thank you, Martha, and continued success in your good works to come, and take care.”
Elizabeth C.

“We were away this weekend, and upon returning home my Zotty had arrived. When I opened the box and saw him I almost cried; he looks so wonderful! Thank you again for restoring him. He looks so much like he did 58 years ago when my husband, Chuck, sent him to me from Germany!”
