Frequently Asked Questions
Before you reach out, check below — your question may already be answered. We’ve compiled the most common queries from DIYers at every skill level, from first-time fixers to seasoned renovators.
How do I describe my repair issue?
Be as specific as possible: include the material (e.g., plasterboard, tile, timber), the location in your home, and what you’ve already tried. A photo helps too. The more detail you give us, the faster and more accurate our advice will be.
What kind of repairs can you help with?
We cover a wide range of interior and exterior home repairs — from patching walls and fixing leaky taps to tiling, painting, and flooring. If it’s a common rental or home maintenance issue, there’s a good chance we have guidance or a guide in our Project Gallery.
How long does a reply take?
We aim to respond to all inquiries within one business day. If your question relates to a topic already covered in our Expert Tips blog, we’ll link you directly to the relevant guide so you can start right away.
Can I share photos of the damage?
Yes, and we encourage it. Clear photos — ideally in natural light — help us assess the scale of a repair and recommend the right tools and materials. Attach them directly to your message when you get in touch.
Is this advice suitable for renters?
Absolutely. DepositProofDIY was built with renters in mind. Our guides focus on repairs that are discreet, reversible where needed, and up to a standard that satisfies landlord inspections — so you keep your deposit intact.
