BBC show The Repair Shop sees experts fix the unfixable for the nation.
But considering the expertise of the team, fans of the series have been wondering where the show is filmed and who pays for the repairs.
Where is The Repair Shop filmed?
The Repair Shop is filmed at The Weald and Downland Living Museum, just outside Chichester.
The 40-acre site is home to a collection of historic rural buildings and showcases heritage farming trades and crafts.
The main workshop, where the experts greet families and work on their treasured objects is in The Court Barn.
The Repair Shop also uses the adjacent buildings, which are called The Wagon Shed and Stables.
Who pays for the repairs at The Repair Shop?
Good news, the show pays for all of the repairs – so they are free.
Rob Butterfield, head of factual at the show’s production company Ricochet, told the BBC: “We don’t charge for repairs.
“If people wish to make a donation to charity we’re very happy with that, but it’s by no means necessary.”
