One of the best places in the house to relax and rejuvenate is in the shower. Sure, this is where you can strip off your body’s toxins, and dirt, and enjoy a solo moment with yourself.
But, if you notice that your shower is leaking, instead of relaxation and ease, what you will feel is stress and inconvenience. Sure, who wants a shower that has too much water on the floor?
The good news is, there are many professionals fixing leaking showers. You do not need to fix it all by yourself, as there are professionals who can actually do the hard job for you. But of course, just like to any service you need for your house, you have to make sure that you are getting exactly the service you need. There are many ways you can actually hire the best professional, but it is actually asking questions that can help you spot on the best one.
To help you get started, here are a few questions to ask a professional before hiring their service:
How long do you need to fix my shower?
One of the things you have to make sure you know is the length of time they need to fix your leaking showers. Sure, there are many factors that may impact the time they can finish the task like the extent of the problem, the availability of the tools and items they need to fix it and so on.
Needless to say, you are asking this question not to rush their service, as actually, rushing their service is not a good idea at all, but setting your expectation to how much time they need to fix the problem in your shower.
When can I use it?
After they fix your shower, the next question you must ask is when can you use it. If they replace the grout, it may take time before you can use it again especially that it needs to dry up. Asking them when can you use it again is necessary to ensure that you won’t break whatever it is they fix in it.
Are you insured?
Asking if they are insured is also necessary. Of course, you do not want to be held liable in the event that something bad happens to them while they are in your property. Of course, no one wants a bad thing to happen, but you never know what the future holds for anyone.
Their insurance is your guarantee that in the event that something unexpected comes up, you are not liable at all.
How much will it cost me?
Ask if they provide a free estimate, and make sure that they put the estimate in writing. Do not expect that they can give an amount until they visit your property and check for the damage they need to repair.
If they provide a rate too soon, might as well not believe them as they might just be guessing. The fee to collect depends on the extent of the issue, hence they cannot provide an estimate until they do an ocular inspection. Also, you may want to ask if there is a charge they will collect when they do it.
Do you offer warranty?
Do they offer warranty on the service they provide? Sure, you want to get a warranty especially that you do not want to spend on the same issue again. Their warranty is your assurance that when the shower leaks again, someone will fix it with a minimal fee or best if free of charge.
