BBC One - The Repair Shop, Series 9, Episode 24

The team restore a tricycle, a silver bracelet and a cherished pair of red ballet shoes.

Jay Blades and the team restore a dilapidated and rusty tricycle, a silver and turquoise bracelet and a cherished pair of red ballet shoes.

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

The first item arriving at the barn represents an enormous undertaking for bicycle restorer Tim Gunn. Mother and daughter Stephney and Charlotte have brought in Charlotte’s old trike, hoping Tim can bring it back to life. Charlotte has wonderful childhood memories of whizzing around on this trusty-yet-rusty chariot, which was gifted to her by a kindly neighbour. She now has two young children of her own and would love them to enjoy it as much as she did. In its prime, the trike was cherry red and pale blue, complete with a stowaway box at the back, and was the envy of the street, but now it’s in a sorry state due to decades spent in a damp shed. Its tyres are missing, and it’s bent, bashed and extremely rusty. Tim rolls up his sleeves to attempt an incredible transformation.

Adam Cairns is the next arrival. He has brought along a silver and turquoise bracelet given to him by his late mother before he went travelling, as a talisman to keep him safe. He has worn it on all his adventures since, but several years ago it was damaged, not once but twice. First, one of the turquoise stones was chipped, and then a section of the silver band broke. It is one of the few tangible things Adam has of his mother’s, and he’d love to wear it again. Jewellery restorer Richard Talman and the multi-talented Kirsten Ramsay team up to carefully repair this treasure. 

The final visitor arrives at the barn to see master cobbler Dean Westmoreland. Lyn Gray has brought her very first pair of ballet shoes, which her late mother kept safe for decades and presented to her a few years before she passed away. Three generations of Lyn’s family performed ballet, and she attends weekly classes even now. The red slippers, complete with red ribbons, are long past their prime, and Lyn would love to have them preserved so that she might display them in her home, surrounded by photographs of her mother and grandmother performing. Dean carefully nurses them back to life and preserves them so that they can be admired by all.
