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

First through the barn doors is a vintage ride-on toy that has seen better days. Metal maestro Dominic Chinea cannot wait to get to work on 'Sammy the Snail’, who is beaten up and rusted after years of enthusiastic use by owner Hannah and her four brothers. Keen to revive Sammy for the next generation, Dom is delighted to discover his original colours and channels a snazzy, psychedelic paint restoration to bring the old snail out of his shell.

Silversmith Brenton West pairs up with wood restorer Will Kirk to turn around a once shiny ballroom trophy, now faded and worn. For owner Anne Marie, the silver-plated rose bowl commemorates her parents, both professional dancers, who won the trophy when they twirled around the ballroom together over 70 years ago.

And bicycle restorer Tim Gunn undertakes the repair of a vintage bicycle gifted to a young girl by her loving father who passed away when she was just 14 years old. With her daughter now approaching the same age, Susan is keen to hand the beloved bike on.
