In a press release hyping up the show, Discovery+ describes The Repair Shop as “a workshop of dreams where skilled restoration experts breathe new life into cherished family heirlooms.”

As furniture restorer Jay Blades and his Repair Shop teammates restore the heirlooms to like-new condition — working on everything from music boxes to vintage typewriters — the owners share the histories and significance of these cherished items. Spoiler alert: Those stories are often emotional!

“Audiences will hear about a violin that helped save a Jewish woman during World War II, a vase made by Picasso contemporary Jean Lurçat, and a childhood toy that helped a chronically ill woman learn to walk,” the streaming platform adds. “The experts lovingly and painstakingly work to restore the items to their former glory before reuniting the owners with their gleaming heirlooms often leading to a tearful and moving reveal. While this show is simple in premise, it is big in heart.”
