Season 11, Episode 8

Jay Blades and his team of experts welcome James to the workshop who brings Dominic Chinea a 1960s lawnmower to repair. As a child James and his brother would visit their grandfather and use the machine to see who could mow the lawn the quickest before the whole family would play cricket on the grass. James thinks now is the right time to put his own son to work using his great grandfather's lawnmower. Brenton West gets a visit from Lyn who, as the secretary for the Welsh Schools Rugby Union Intermediate Group, brings him a trophy to bring back to its former glory. With almost one hundred silver plaques on dating back to 1904, the mahogany shield has a large crack in it and the decorative centre panel has lost its detail. Suzie Fletcher receives a visit from Deborah who asks her to repair her personalised leather belt that has held her jeans up for over 40 years. As a gift for her 16th birthday, the leather is now dry and splitting and needs a colour refresh
