I'll see how I feel when I have had a go at it.
I had a go at Sunrunners' seacocks (Blakes types) last Summer, they were quite pitted when I got all the deposits off but after grinding in there was a clearly visible seal all around the top and bottom of the valves and no leakage when she went back in the water. £250 saved and some effort too so it's well worth doing imo.
