Frequently asked questions

Will I actually be able to fix my own leaks after one evening?

You practise shut-off, taps, toilets and pipes on our board, then go home with a laminated card for your stopcock steps.

Is R250 worth two hours of my time?

R250 covers tea, hands-on practice on our board and a laminated card to keep.

Am I too old or not handy enough for this?

No. This class is built for retired folk in Fish Hoek and Kalk Bay who want to try fixing it themselves.

What if I get it wrong on the practice board?

That is what the board is for. You practise shut-off and taps there before touching your own pipes at home.

Do I need to bring my own tools?

No. We cover the five tools worth owning during the class, so you come as you are.

Does the class cover gas work or soldering?

No. The class covers shut-off, taps, toilets and pipes and when to stop and call a plumber instead.
