“We used Dcfixbrand to make our worktops look like new.”
The DIY fan said the Dcfix took a bit of getting used to but she figured it out in the end.
She said: “It’s a fiddly start, but once in the correct position then yes [it’s easy]. I like to peel off the backing close to the surface so it doesn’t move around.”
Claire said she went with this option to cut costs and save on workload.
She said: “We didn’t want the cost or hassle of getting a joiner in to replace them. So this was the cheapest solution.”
