How to watch The Repair Shop online from anywhere

You know how The Repair Shop works by now. A member of the public brings a battered old item with sentimental value to the Court Barn at the Weald and Downland Living Museum in Singleton, West Sussex and a team of experts beaver away to get it looking as good as new before the big reveal and, inevitably, teary-eyed emotion. 

Here's where to watch The Repair Shop 2024 online for free – from anywhere.

Disrupted by coverage of the Euros and plagued by rumors that host Jay Blades would not be returning or that the popular show itself might not be coming back at all, there was a moment back there when those who like their television to be upbeat and rewarding were besides themselves. But it's fine. Season 13 of The Repair Shop is here.

The team are back and that includes clock man Steve Fletcher who did not appear in the above photo released to announce the new series and – spoiler alert – he'll be joined by his son Fred. In the first two episodes Will Kirk hopes to make dreams come to true for a family with a very special bed, while a dictaphone containing a recording of a loved one unheard for 80 years challenges Mark Stuckey.

Read on as we explain how to watch The Repair Shop 2024 from anywhere in the world.
