FAQ

How much experience do I need?

None at all. Our Home Confidence courses are designed for complete beginners or anyone who wants to understand the plumbing in their home. You don’t have to do any plumbing yourself if you don’t want to. You’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to understand how your home plumbing works, spot potential problems, and talk to a plumber without feeling lost.

Is this course suitable for women?

Definitely. bePractical DIY specialises in empowering women to tackle home projects with confidence. However, anyone is welcome on this DIY plumbing course, regardless of gender. We provide a relaxed, supportive space to learn hands-on practical skills.

What should I bring?

Wear old clothing and sturdy shoes. In colder months, we recommend warm or layered clothing as the workshop can get chilly. If you have long hair, please tie it back when using any tools. We provide PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), but you’re welcome to bring your own if you prefer. Just label it with your name.

Do I need to buy any tools or materials before attending?

No. All tools and materials are provided for Home Confidence 1. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn.

How do I book, and where are you based?

You can book online via our bePractical DIY Booking Page. We’re based in Brislington, Bristol, with small group classes so you get plenty of personal attention.

How much do the Home Confidence Courses cost?

The Home Confidence courses are both half-day, in-person courses and costs £80 per person.
The price includes use of all tools and materials, plus tea, coffee and biscuits.
If you book both the Home Confidence Courses at the same time, you’ll get £20 off the full price.
You don't have to do both courses on the same day, just book dates that work for you. 

Can I do TWO Courses on the Same Day?

Yes. You can book two half-day courses on the same day, such as Home Confidence 1 in the morning and Home Confidence 2 in the afternoon. We offer a £20 discount when you book two courses at the same time. It’s a fun and empowering day, but it can be tiring because you’ll be learning lots of new information and skills.

What if i have a question after the course?

We offer ongoing support by email, WhatsApp or phone. We know it helps to have someone to ask when you’re doing DIY plumbing at home. We also send comprehensive follow-up notes so you don’t have to write everything down on the day. There’s no such thing as a daft question here.
