The Repair Shop (2017)

Episode Overview

Jay Blades and his team set out to restore three cherished family heirlooms, each steeped in memories. The first item is a pinball penny slot machine that once graced the bar of a village pub owned by Jeannine's family. Next, art conservator Lucia Scalisi steps in to fix a hand-painted drag cone from the 1960s, designed to shield riders from wind while racing. This piece belonged to Dan's father, Chris Bartram, a passionate drag racer who passed away when Dan and his brother were only young. Lastly, silversmith Brenton West works on two art deco silver figures of ladies holding mirrors, which hold special significance for owner Laraine as a connection to her cherished great-grandmother.
