BBC One - The Repair Shop, Series 7, Episode 5

The team takes on clay sculptures, a lawnmower and a handmade leather horse from WWII.

The team takes on a set of unglazed clay sculptures, a vintage lawnmower and a handmade leather horse from WWII.

Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.

First to arrive is a delicately carved set of clay sculptures for the attention of ceramics expert Kirsten Ramsey. Owner Jackie treasures the figurines, lovingly crafted by her older brother Andrew who tragically died in an accident at the tender age of 18. After over 40 years on display, the unglazed figurines are crumbling and in dire need of repair. Kirsten uses all of her experience in clay modelling to resurrect these cherished pieces for Jackie.

Metal expert Dominic Chinea’s knowledge is called upon to rejuvenate a vintage lawnmower that was retired for a newer model in the 1970s. Owner John arrives at the barn with the loyal workhorse that reminds him of his beloved grandfather. A keen gardener, John longs to emulate his grandfather’s freshly lined mowed lawn. With the entire mechanism seized up and rusty, Dom’s got his work cut out to bring this mighty machine back to life. 

And leather expert Suzie Fletcher undertakes the repair of a treasured toy horse, handmade by a British soldier as he recovered in an Italian hospital during the Second World War. His daughter Ann is hoping Suzie can restore the horse named Garibaldi back to how it would have looked when her dad first made it.
