Introduction
An expert on the popular BBC show, The Repair Shop, was left shocked by what she called the 'worst item' she had ever encountered in her 30-year career. The episode featured Sidra, who brought in her father's heavily laminated 1970s medical certificate in the hopes of having it restored.
A Special Item
Sidra's father had sadly passed away from coronavirus after working in a hospital. She cherished his medical certificate and wanted to frame it due to the sentimental value it held.
The Challenge
Louise Drover, the expert tasked with restoring the certificate, was taken aback by its condition. She described it as having three laminations and two layers of thin cellophane. Removing the layers without damaging the document would prove to be a difficult task.
A Delicate Process
Louise carefully separated the layers, being cautious not to tear the front side of the sheet. She encountered areas where the lamination was firmly attached, making the process even more challenging.
Success at Last
After hours of hard work, Louise successfully restored the certificate to its original condition. She found a frame with glass on both sides to showcase the stamps, much to Sidra's delight.
Conclusion
The episode of The Repair Shop featuring Sidra's father's medical certificate is a testament to the dedication and skill of the experts on the show. It serves as a reminder of the value we place on sentimental items and the lengths we go to preserve them.
The Repair Shop is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
