Steve took to Instagram with a photo of him sitting upright in bed with a smile on his face.
“I’m in a different kind of repair shop today… And this time it was me being repaired!” he wrote.
“Just had a small knee operation, and pleased to report that all went well.
“Ever grateful for the skill and kindness of our healthcare professionals – absolutely wonderful people.
“Thank you to all who looked after me today,” he added.
“Wising you a full and speedy recovery Steve,” one follower wrote.
“Oh my goodness as long as you keep ticking!! Speedy recovery master craftsman,” echoed a second.
“Hope the doctors did as good a job for you as you do for everyone who goes to the Repair Shop!” wrote another.
This comes after the award-winning BBC One series was pulled off air after Steve’s co-star Jay Blades was charged with controlling and coercive behaviour.
Jay has resigned from a number of charities, including the Queen Elizabeth Scholarship Trust.
The 54-year-old has also deleted his social media pages.
Fans were delighted after the series returned to BBC One, but without Jay at the helm.
A show source previously said: “The Beeb won’t feature any new shows in which he appears until it is clear how legal proceedings conclude.”
During the episode, viewers watched as a woman whose mother was killed in a house fire brought her teddy bear that survived the blaze.
She enlisted the show’s help to restore the burnt bear, which holds significant sentimental value.
Viewers at home were reduced to tears, with one posting on social media: “I don’t think I’ve ever watched an episode of #TheRepairShop and not bawled my eyes out.”
A second wrote: “Damn you #TheRepairShop! Gets me every time! That teddy bear.”
“My goodness, how brave was the young lady with the bear? The rest of us, meanwhile, are in bits. Joyous television,” said a third.
