The Repair Shop is a workshop of dreams, where broken or damaged cherished family heirlooms are brought back to life. Furniture restorers, horologists, metal workers, ceramicists, upholsterers and all manner of skilled craftsmen and women have been brought together to work in one extraordinary space, restoring much-loved possessions to their former glory.
Stepping into the barn is a pair of tiny cowboy boots, treasured by the family of Elton John's former drummer, while queen of the invisible fix Kirsten faces her biggest challenge yet, as she must painstakingly piece together a shattered vintage glass lamp.
The pressure is on for Will as a garden gate from Roald Dahl’s mother’s house arrives in pieces. Rebecca and Jay get a spring in their step as a dancing dress needs saving.
Brenton’s on a special mission to save a gold-plated car from The Spy Who Loved Me. Richard is stunned as he transforms a locket that has been buried for over a century.
Bookbinder Chris Shaw restores a notebook containing codebreaking secrets that helped the Enigma team in Bletchley Park. And it's all hands on deck as a 250-year-old fire pump roars back to life.
A poignant reminder of the Aids crisis that killed so many young men in the 80s as Sonnaz helps Leigh honour his partner, Greg, who was lost.
It is sequins galore for Jay and Rebecca as they welcome a dress from one of Britain’s most famous drag icons, that’s in need of a nip and tuck. And a 1990s BMX rides again!
The Willis-Cox family from Northampton hope that Will Kirk can save a treasured family member. Meanwhile, Steve takes on a sketchy job with an iconic toy from the eighties.
A dictaphone containing a recording of a loved one unheard for 80 years challenges Mark, whilst a barber set and a fruit bowl smashed by accident are also on the list.
A broken ring, a reminder of great courage in the face of tyranny, and two very heavy pieces of sporting history require the team’s efforts to be restored to their former glory.
Lilian from Northern Ireland hopes the team can get a tune out of her father’s homemade harp. After learning to make it from a book, he went on to become a world-renowned craftsman.
Textile conservator Rebecca must save an Indian ceremonial coat from the 19th century, while a treasured reminder of a childhood lived in the fast lane is a challenge for Dom.
There's photography and flamboyance in the barn as a vintage camera and a pair of drag queen heels are restored. Elsewhere, Will tackles a toucan that has had a run-in with traffic.
