I realise how precious your bear (or other companion) will be to you and I will take great care of him or her whilst in my possession.  I will restore faithfully and sympathetically keeping the bear as original as possible by sourcing materials as close to the original as possible for the work to be carried out.
I will respect your choice to leave well alone certain features of your bear if you so wish as I know they will have become part of that special charm and character that you love.

I will assess your bears requirements and give you a firm quote for the work to be carried out and that price will be final and will not change for the agreed work that you authorise by signature.

I cannot guarantee a time scale for the work, I can give you an estimated time scale (usually 2-4 weeks) but such work takes care and therefore time to do well.
It also takes time to source the relevant materials and as I will not rush a restoration project I hope you understand this is in the best interest for all concerned, that being myself, yourself and most importantly the welfare of your bear.

If you wish to know more about my repair service please contact me for further details and I'll be more than happy to answer your questions.

I will be adding more detail such as a

PRICE GUIDE and FAQ's very soon!

In the meantime here's a BEFORE and AFTER . . .

This is a BEFORE and AFTER image of the repair work I did on this bear.
The owner did not want the bears face altering as the expression held sentimental value to them.
He desperately needed two new legs, his body was stained and lacked stuffing, his arms lacked stuffing and his head was sewn directly onto his shoulders because it had dropped off years ago!  His muzzle had a large hole on top of the nose and had lost stuffing and there were numerous wear and tear holes in his body and head.

AFTER: On the right you can see he looks more like himself and much after receiving his new legs and a good clean. All the holes throughout his body were repaired and his stuffing was topped up in various parts. 

BEAR OWNERS TESTIMONIAL:

" I couldn’t believe how bright and happy he looked when I went to collect him.  Elaine had taken such special care of him.  Every little detail was right from the matching thread and dinky stitching to the amazing new legs she had created for him. Elaine sourced the perfect fabric from Germany for his new legs and took time to  ‘distress’  the fabric to make it match the rest of the bear.  The shape and look of his legs is excellent - completely authentic!
Elaine gave my bear a total over haul - whilst taking great care to not to lose any of his character.
I am so happy with her work and the cost was very very reasonable.  I think Elaine should have her own TV programme - like that American TV show ‘Extreme Makeover’.  How about ‘Bear Essentials’  I cannot recommend her work more highly!
 
He’s sat here and looks so proud and happy - I am absolutely thrilled with him.  I’ve been looking at him all day and keep noticing all the lovely work she has done on him.  He’s quite transformed . . . but still my lovely ‘Dustbin Ted’. 
Thank you so much Elaine! "
