Anyone know anywhere that can repair a doll?

It's not an antique doll, just one of the large Sindy dolls Tesco sold three or four years ago. But DD1 has broken one of her legs and DD2 is devastated. I've had a google but anywhere I can find only deals in antiques.

There's a toy hospital in Edinburgh that accepts toys by post for repair.

Would the lovely ladies from the Repair Shop be able to help?
I know they are more restoration but they might be able to point you in the right direction.

‘Bear it in mind’

Would the manufacturer be able to help?

Replacement possible?

There is this on eBay

If you search Tesco Sindy 18, there’s a few.

We have two more identical dolls but they're not the same, IYSWIM. DD2 takes this doll everywhere, it's a well loved, well played with (read very very lived in!) doll. The others just don't cut it. Thanks though.

I'll have a look at the links above, thanks. DD1 is still hiding in the bathroom... Angry

Can you use the head from loved doll and place on one of the other 2? 😂

We sort of came up with a compromise. DD1 is going to get her this for Christmas ... if we can find it that is! It was a genius idea of mine I thought Grin

I did look at the head but I don't think my transplant skills are up to it! Xmas Grin
