What happened to it? / It's lost an eye, a nose or an ear

Replacing an eye, a nose or an ear on a soft toy

The question that decides this one is whether you want it to match or whether you want it to look mended. Some will source a period-correct replacement and some will fit the nearest thing they have, and very few say which up front.

Who takes this kind of work

70 of the 77 repairers we hold could take this on. 7 could not, and they are further down with the reason. These three fit best; the rest are listed underneath them.

Everything we know about They Shout Hello

From £20

Said openread off their site yesterday

John Lewis announced this themselves for 24 September 2025 and we have found nothing saying it ended. Their own service page would not render for our crawler, so this record is built from the John Lewis Partnership's press announcement rather than from a live page. Ring the shop before you make a trip.

Why this one

  • Keeps a stock of eyes and noses to match
  • Does the stitching work this needs

Worth knowing

  • Replaces the old stuffing. Whether they will make an exception is not stated, so ask
  • Cleans everything as part of a repair, whether you asked or not
In person only, they don't take postTheir page doesn't mention cover

Walk in. No booking, no postage, no waiting list, and they price it at the counter.

The other 67, in order

Same checks, lower down the order. Where they are and how you hand it over matter more than our ordering does, so both are here.

Who we ruled out for this, and why

7 of the 77 are listed on this site and are deliberately not above. Ruling somebody out is a claim, so here is each one with the reason, and you can disagree with it.

  • Cleans soft play frames for venues on a contract. They don't take one toy from one household

  • Works through your insurer after a fire or a flood, and invoices the claim. There is no way to hire them directly

Questions people ask

How many repairers can replace eyes or a nose?
70 of the 77 we hold in the United Kingdom could take this on, and 7 could not. Every one of them is named on this page, including the ones we ruled out and why. Across both countries we have read 185 businesses in total, so if you have seen a bigger number quoted somewhere, that is the one.
What does it cost?
A part replaced: £15-£45, from 27 published prices. One small thing: £10-£45, from 7 published prices. All read from repairers' own public pages in August 2026, across 70 individual prices from 8 businesses. Most of this trade publishes nothing at all.
Will they insure it while they have it?
Almost certainly they have not said. Of every repairer we have read in both countries, two have written anything down about losing or damaging an item. Nobody has been asked the question directly, including by us. Ask before you send anything you could not replace, and get the answer in writing.
