DIY Refurb

The first thing I noticed was how clearly the site explained what had been tested on the tap before it was sent. I did wait longer than I'd hoped for the delivery, which was a little disappointing, though the item itself was in good order when it arrived. The ordering was straightforward and the staff answered my email politely enough.

We needed a replacement kitchen tap urgently after the old one gave up on a Sunday, and I'd been ordering refurbished bits from them for about six years now. Ordering was quick and the parts arrived well packed the next working day. The price was fair compared with the big chains and the staff on the phone knew their stuff when I had a question about fittings. Still my first port of call.

Their refurbished parts saved my old mower from the scrapheap and I've used them for years. The verdict is they are reliable and the staff are knowledgeable when you call. Parts arrive quickly and as described. Still my first stop for anything garden related.

I've been buying from them for years and compared with a local reclaim yard the same kind of fitting is a bit dearer here. The quality is reliable and the item was exactly what was described. Ordering was fine, but the delivery was slower than I'd like, about four days. Good enough for the job, just not the bargain I was hoping for.

Really good, sorted quickly. Ordered a refurbished spare part for our boiler on my phone during my lunch break and it was all done in a few minutes. Item arrived well packed and works fine.

Compared with a new equivalent from a big chain the saving was hard to ignore, and the unit looked and felt sound when it arrived. I had a clear idea of what I wanted and the listing gave me enough to check fitments before I bought. Ordering was straightforward and the parts arrived well packed. Solid choice.

What struck me first was how carefully each item had been tested before it was sent out, with a note of what had been checked. My late husband always said a second-hand tool was only as good as its testing. The order was straightforward to place and the item arrived in good order. I'm pleased with it.

Bought a refurbished chest of drawers for the bedroom and it's solid and looks better than I expected. The instructions for the fixings were clear and it went together in an afternoon. Delivery was on time and the drawers run smoothly. Really pleased.

The price was the best bit, honestly the cheapest I found for a sash window handle. Checkout was fine but the confirmation email took ages to come through and I had to message them to check the order went in. Handle turned up after about a week and fits fine, just wish the updates had been quicker.

Compared this with a brand new kettle from a supermarket and it's not far off in finish and the heating is just as quick. I'd never bought from here before and wasn't sure what to expect. Sign up was painless and it arrived well ahead of schedule. Happy.

Bought a refurbished kitchen sink mixer and it looks almost new once fitted. Good price and ordering was simple. Only small thing is the tap came without the braided hoses, so I had to buy those separately. Otherwise fine.

Needed a new handle for a sash window and grabbed one from them. Ordering took two minutes which was good. Took longer to arrive than I thought though, about five days. Handle works fine.

Bought a refurbished pressure washer and the value is hard to beat for the money. The one thing that was a bit off was the packaging, one of the hose fittings had come a bit loose in transit. It was easy to tighten and the unit has run fine since. Ordering was quick.

Picked up a refurbished cordless drill from them to use on a weekend project. It came in a plain box with a tested sticker on it and the battery held charge well. Delivery was next day and the tracking was spot on. Happy with it so far.

The video guides on the site are honestly the best bit. I followed one to fix a dodgy cistern and it actually worked first go. Ordering was easy and the parts turned up quick.

Compared with buying the same bathroom extractor fan new from a big DIY chain, this was noticeably cheaper and the spec was identical. I've fitted plenty of these over the years so I know what to look for. The unit runs quiet and the included parts were all there. Good value.

Got a refurbished orbital sander from them for sanding down some old doors. Honestly does the job and the dust bag is included which I didn't expect. Came in a couple of days.

We needed a radiator for the spare room and new ones were quoted at nearly double. This one was a fraction of the price and fitted the existing pipes without fuss. Ordering was simple and it arrived in decent time. Solid value.

Needed a cheap lamp for my new flat and didn't want to spend loads. Found a refurbished one on here that looks new. Ordering was dead easy and it came quick. Works fine.

The verdict is that the bits are good quality and the price is fair for what you get. The only real niggle was that the delivery took longer than the site suggested, close to a week rather than the two or three days. The order itself was simple to place. Would still go back.
