Elaine is great, I would recommend her services to anyone.

Elaine took on a difficult job of a 60year old sheepskin bear and repaired it beautifully. She was also extremely flexible with the repair to rabbit whose ear had been chewed off. All this with constant friendly communication and updates. Could not ask for a better service!

Lovely restoration of a very large seal Ive had for 40 years. It had become very squashed from several children playing with it. Elaine did a great job restuffing it and putting the whiskers and flippers back where they should be. It now looks as good as new.

Elaine restored my Mum's 70 yr old bear and did the most amazing job. You couldn't even see where he'd been repaired, his holes were repaired and he had new paws, eyes and stuffing and his fur cleaned. My mum was thrilled to have her bear back no longer falling apart, but like the bear she remembered from being a little girl. Elaine responded very quickly each time iI emailed her and she took great care of the bear. I can't reccomend her highly enough. Superb job, thank you Elaine.

Elaine took the utmost care of my elderly bear who had lost his growl, damaged his paws and lost his stuffing. He returned home looking and sounding fabulous. I would recommend her to anyone she was brilliant.

I was delighted with the work Elaine carried out on Teddy. He came back from his holiday a new bear. He could growl again and was beautifully clean and sympathetically repaired. As well as being an expert it was quite obvious from the suggestions Elaine made and the quality of her work that this was also a labour of love and I would highly recommend her.

Elaine at Eden Bears has just returned my tiny teddy home to me, following a spruce up and repair. I am so thrilled with the repair work carried out. He has had a clean, his ears re-stitched, holes in his hips and shoulders repaired and a little cosmetic work to his eyes, nose and mouth. Elaine has also replaced his ribbon and little bell. Baby Teddy has been with me for more than 50 years and now looks ready for many more. Elaine was delightful to deal with and I have no hesitation in recommending Eden Bears to anyone looking to have their beloved teddy repaired.

I can't recommend Eden Bears highly enough. I took my daughters 38yr old teddy bear (Morris) for repair to Eden Bears and I immediately knew on meeting Elaine he was in very safe hands. She has done a superb restoration job on Morris he looks gorgeous once more. My daughter was over the moon when she saw him. A very professional service and reasonably priced. Thanks Elaine.

An absolutely fantastic transformation of my mums treasured childhood bear. I’ve never seen my mum so overwhelmed with joy when she opened the parcel. Elaine was very professional, completed a very expert transformation beyond my expectations at a very reasonable price. Thank you so much Elaine.

Elaine has just made me an 18" black mohair bear. He is stunning if not a trite heavy no doubt from eating too many Morecambe Bay prawns! . He is beautifully made and puts even Steiff to shame. He is a lifetime keepsake and not a toy for a young child. A work of true craftmanship as the price truly reflects.

Elaine fixed "Charlotte Bear" within a 4 hour turnaround. She is back to her perfect self and I'm delighted with the repair, she's as good as new! Thank you so much ? .

Thrilled with the results of Bruno bear. He had his head put back on, growler replaced and his toxic stuffing replaced and a light clean. Elaine was so helpful. Very knowledgeable but not pushy. A pleasure to deal with. Highly recommend.

Our bear is 70 years old and was in a bit of a state when we sent him to Edenbears. He needed restuffing, his head needed rejointing and his pads, ear, nose and mouth needed some work. Elaine also replaced his growl. The price was very reasonable, a lot cheaper than another place I contacted and the work was finished in only a few days. Couldn't be happier and will definitely recommend Elaine and Edenbears.

Elaine did a wonderful job of restoring my wife's childhood 1950s bear in time for her 60th birthday. She is professional, passionate about her bears and very knowledgable and. Obviously extremely talented in her field. It was a pleasure doing business with her. .

Elaine did a full overhaul on a 68 year old bear. He had a full clean, replaced head/arms/leg joints and new squeaker. Pads and feet were rebuilt and the only thing she couldn't do was to regrow his fur! . Extremely good and nice lady to deal with.

Wonderful repair on bear. Very, very happy with result. Cannot praise Eden Bears enough for all aspects of service.

I had a very sad 70 year old bear that belonged to my sister who died in 1968. He was very dirty and needed some tlc. Elaine has been brilliant and the bear is so much better now. Although I never met Elaine, I feel that I know her. She was kind, knowledgeable, accommodating and professional throughout. If you have something special that needs care, I would definitely recommend Elaine and Eden Bears.

My elderly bear was in a very sorry state with detached leg, loose joints and past poor repairs. Edenbears has carried out a wonderful restoration whilst retaining his charm and character. I couldn't be more pleased with the result.

Elaine restored my 90 year old Chad Valley bear and given him a new life. It had been through a number of generations of the family and needed a lot of TLC including re-stuffing, new footpads and eyes and a good clean all very expertly done. An excellent job Elaine, thank you.
