Returns & Refunds

Captain Tolley Limited · Last updated: 10 November 2026
Summary


You can return most orders within 14 days of receiving them, for any reason. If something is faulty, damaged or not as described, you have additional rights and we will put it right. Email info@captaintolley.com to start a return or ask a question.

This policy applies to orders placed on captaintolley.com for delivery in the United Kingdom, and it does not affect your legal rights.


1. Changing your mind (14-day right to cancel)


You have the right to cancel your order within 14 days, without giving a reason. The 14 days start the day after you receive your order. If your order arrives in more than one delivery, they start the day after the last one arrives.

How to cancel

Tell us you want to cancel before the 14 days end. Email info@captaintolley.com with your name, order number and the items you are cancelling, or use the model cancellation form in our Terms and Conditions. Any clear statement works, and you do not need to wait for our reply before sending the goods back.
Send the goods back to us without delay, and within 14 days of telling us you want to cancel.

Where to send returns

Return postage and packing

If you are returning goods because you changed your mind, you pay the cost of returning them.
Please pack the goods securely, ideally in their original packaging, and keep proof of postage. We recommend a tracked service, because the goods stay your responsibility until they reach us.

The condition of returned goods

Please take reasonable care of the goods while they are with you. You can open the product to check it, but if you have used it, or if it has been handled more than was needed to check it, we may reduce your refund by an amount that reflects the loss in value. We will not reduce your refund for simply opening the pack.


2. Faulty, damaged or incorrect items


The goods we sell must be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described. If they are not, you have legal rights, and returning them does not depend on the 14-day period above.

  • Within 30 days of delivery, you can reject faulty goods and get a full refund.
  • After 30 days, you are entitled to a repair or replacement. If that is not possible or does not work, you can ask for a refund or a price reduction. If the fault appears within 6 months of delivery, it is presumed to have been there when you received the goods, unless we can show otherwise.

 

Please check your order when it arrives. If an item is faulty, damaged or the wrong item, email info@captaintolley.com as soon as you can with your order number and a photo if possible, and we will arrange everything. We will pay for the return postage of faulty, damaged or incorrect goods, and for any replacement we send.

If you are unsure whether the product suits your repair, please contact us before using it. Captain Tolley’s Creeping Crack Cure is designed for hairline cracks less than 0.8mm wide, and our use guides explain how to apply it.

What is not a fault

A broken cap, a leaking bottle or a blocked or damaged nozzle is a fault, and we will put it right. A problem caused by using the product in a way our instructions and use guides advise against is not a fault. For example, using it on a crack wider than 0.8mm, applying it in wet conditions, or applying it below 10°C / 50°F, where the instructions say not to, can stop it working as described. In those cases the product has not failed, so the faulty goods remedies in this section would not apply. If you are not sure what happened, contact us and we will help you work it out. Your 14-day right to cancel in section 1 is separate and still applies.


3. Refunds

  • We refund the price of the goods and the cost of standard delivery, which is free. If you chose expedited delivery, we do not refund the extra £5 when you cancel because you changed your mind, but we do refund it if the goods are faulty or not as described.
  • For a cancellation, we refund you within 14 days of receiving the goods back, or of receiving proof that you have sent them back, whichever is earlier. If you cancel before the goods are sent, we refund you within 14 days of your notice.
  • For faulty goods, we refund you within 14 days of agreeing that you are entitled to a refund.
  • Refunds go back to the payment method you used for the order, through Stripe. We do not charge a fee for refunds.
  • Your bank or card provider may take a few more days to show the money in your account.

 

If you have not received your refund when you expect it, please email us at info@captaintolley.com.


4. Exchanges


We do not swap items directly. The quickest way to get a different product is to return the one you have under this policy and place a new order for the one you want.


5. Cancelling an order before it is sent


If you want to cancel before your order has been dispatched, email info@captaintolley.com as soon as possible and we will refund you in full.
