Repairs and specialist services: Enquiry form for tent repair companies
An enquiry form for tent repair companies that asks for fabric type, damage location and photos, so the workshop can assess a repair before the tent reaches the sewing table.
What makes an enquiry complete for tent repair companies.
An enquiry at tent repair companies often arrives as one blurry photo asking whether this can be fixed. What is missing is exactly what decides the method: is it cotton, polyester or PVC, is the damage in a seam, in the middle of a panel or along a zip edge, and how long is the tear. Nobody knows whether the tent is clean and dry either, while fabric packed away damp has to go to the drying room first. The repairer emails back, the customer answers a week later and in the meantime no one knows whether to hold space. When hire firms report several tents at once, damage and tents get mixed up too.

From form to assessed enquiry.
Ask about damage step by step
The form starts with the type of tent and the fabric, with example photos of labels and textures for anyone unsure. The customer then picks the kind of damage: tear, loose seam, broken zip, leak or damaged window. Each choice only brings up the questions that matter, such as the length of the tear or of the zip.
Check photos and dryness
An overview photo and a close-up are required, with a short instruction to photograph the damage next to a tape measure. The customer says whether the tent is dry, damp or dirty. If the close-up is missing or the damage cannot be seen, the form says so straight away rather than leaving the workshop to chase it later.
Pass the request to the workshop
The workshop receives one request with fabric, damage type, photos and a first indication of where the damage is. When one customer sends several tents, each tent gets its own line with its own photos. The repairer sees at a glance whether there is enough to price the job or whether one focused question is still needed.
Enquiries in one place, not the inbox.
Most tent repair companies currently receive enquiries by email, phone and sometimes a general contact form. The new form replaces that contact form and puts requests in the same list as phone enquiries, which the front desk records on a short entry screen. Photos are kept with the request instead of in an inbox. The workshop decides which questions are required; customers remain the owners of their contact details and can ask for them to be changed or removed.
Required photos or optional
Required photos produce better enquiries, but some customers give up if they do not have a picture to hand. A middle path lets the enquiry be sent without photos, flagged as incomplete with a reminder to add them later. You keep the customer, and the workshop knows exactly what is still missing before anyone quotes.
Let customers choose fabric or identify it
Many campers do not know whether their tent is polycotton or polyester. You can force a choice and risk a wrong answer, or allow an unsure option and let the repairer judge from the photo. The second costs the workshop a little more time but avoids a quote built on the wrong material.
One form or a separate route for hire firms
A hire business or scout group often reports a whole batch after the season. For them a route works well where they enter a number, damage and photo per tent and arrange one collection or delivery. Private owners keep the short form. Whether that second route is needed depends on how many batches reach you each season.

Read the storyWhich questions the form asks.
At the start the form is ready with fabric and damage choices, required photos, the question whether the tent is dry and a list of incoming requests for the workshop. Which questions are required is up to you. Together we try a simple report of a broken door zip, and a damp cotton tent with damage in two separate places. The hire firm route for several tents and a quote that is prepared automatically can be switched on later.

Explore pricing and optionsWhat if a customer cannot take a photo of the damage?
They can still send the enquiry, but it shows as incomplete in the list. The customer gets a message with a link to add photos later. If they would rather bring the tent in, the front desk records the damage at drop-off using the workshop phone.
Can the form ask when the customer needs the tent back?
Yes. Customers can say when they want the tent returned, for a holiday for instance. The form makes clear this is a wish rather than a promise. The workshop confirms or adjusts the date once it is clear how much sewing and drying the repair needs.
How do customers work out what fabric their tent is?
That question comes with short descriptions and example photos: cotton feels stiff and breathes, polyester is smooth and light, PVC is heavy with a plastic coating. Anyone still unsure leaves it open and the repairer judges it from the close-up.
Do phone enquiries end up in the same overview?
Yes. The front desk uses a shortened version of the same form to record a phone enquiry. Customers can then add photos through a link. Every request sits in one place however it arrived, and no tent is forgotten because it was only mentioned on a call.
