T06:C03 - S06:E03 - Chandelier, Mother of Pearl Table and Runway Plane

Today in the Repair Shop, Jay Blades and the team bring three treasured family heirlooms, and the memories they hold, back to life.Electrics expert Mark Stuckey and silversmith Brenton West join forces to repair a much-loved, sparkling chandelier that once took pride of place in a council house. Owner Suzanne's mum, Pat, worked as a cleaner for a wealthy couple who gifted her the cherished chandelier. A constant in her own childhood, Suzanne and her daughter Grace are delighted to return to see it back to its former glory.Furniture restorer Will Kirk is presented with a damaged mother of pearl table, badly burned after a hot pan was mistakenly placed on its surface. Stuart's treasured heirloom originally belonged to his grandmother and was damaged by his father as he grew ill. Will sets about painstakingly piecing together this ornate piece of furniture to achieve the near impossible.And mechanical maestro Steve Fletcher turns his attention to a broken toy aeroplane that doubles up as a memento of a lost childhood in Iraq. The runway plane belongs to Mae who received it as a child. Now her daughter Serena is hoping it can be fixed so that her mum can relive the childhood and country she left behind.
