The application is fairly long, so be prepared to give as much detail about yourself as possible, including basic information, including name and address, as well as details about your beloved item.

You'll be asked to describe in what way the item is damaged and if you know how the damage occurred. You'll also be asked to detail the emotional significance of the treasured piece and what you plan to do with it once repaired.
Nestled deep in the British countryside, The Repair Shop sees a team of Britain's most skilled and caring craftspeople rescue and resurrect items their owners thought were beyond saving. Together they transform priceless pieces of family history and bring loved but broken treasures, and the memories they hold, back to life.
