Jay Blades and the team bring family heirlooms back to life. Steven Fletcher is in receipt of an unusual timepiece - a statue of a barmaid holding a swinging pendulum clock dial.

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

Resident clock expert Steven Fletcher is in receipt of an unusual timepiece - a statue of a barmaid holding a swinging pendulum clock dial. These clocks are known for being temperamental but with a good clean and a few replacement parts, Steve has it swinging once more.

Silversmith Brenton West is tasked with restoring a precious hand mirror that has lost its glass, incurred numerous dents and several features have worn away. Brenton sets about replacing them and uses some old tricks of the trade to bring the treasure back to life. And specialist mid-century furniture restorer Graeme Mancha overhauls an iconic piece of contemporary furniture - an Eames chair. The chair arrived snapped in two but after hours of careful repair and rejuvenation, it leaves looking as good as it did in the swinging 60s.
