The Repair Shop

60-Minute Versions: Episode 15

Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.\n\nMetalworker Dominic Chinea goes back to his roots when he takes on the restoration of a toy pedal car. Once a bright and shiny red, trimmed with glittering chrome, the car is now battered and rusty, and is missing its steering wheel. Drawing on his years of experience as an apprentice classic car restorer, Dom sets to work de-rusting, repainting and rechroming, determined to get the car back on the road for a brand new generation to enjoy. \n\nFurniture restorer Will Kirk is charged with the task of resurrecting a wobbly old baize-covered card table dating from the 1940s. For owner Steve Cooney, the table is steeped in memories of his beloved grandfather, who, as well as using it for playing cards, would sit and do the football pools on it with a young Steve on his lap. It has huge emotional significance for Steve, so after stabilising and re-covering the table, Will and upholsterer Sonnaz Nooranvary come up with a clever and unexpected plan to retain some of its key characteristics for posterity.\n\nSilversmith Brenton West takes on the rescue of a precious bronze statue by renowned French artist Claire Colinet, depicting the biblical figure Salome as a dancing dagger-wielding assassin. After falling victim to flooding ten years ago, Salome has come apart from her stand, is badly tarnished, and has lost all but one of her lethal blades. Brenton has his work cut out fixing the damage and fashioning brand new daggers, with the aim of getting Salome back to her deadly dancing self.\n\nAnd Steve Fletcher, Will Kirk and Kirsten Ramsay team up for the repair of an antique Victorian perforating machine.
