According to a survey conducted by Confused.com, DIY disasters cost the average Brit £669.58. 1 in 5 men admit to a self-inflicted disaster with just 8% of women fessing up to the same. That said, women’s DIY disasters are costlier than those of their male counterparts; the average resulting home insurance claim for women is a whopping £758.58, compared with £556.36 for men.

The survey also showed the most accident prone city in the UK to be Edinburgh, where 25% of DIYers have claimed on their insurance following a botched effort.
