Lynn Hoare, 64, hired a builder to create an accessible wet room for her daughter Krista, 26, who has cerebral palsy
A young woman who suffers with cerebral palsy is having to resort to 'washing in the sink' after a builder did a botched renovation. Lynn Hoare, 64, says she was unable to afford a £400,000 property already equipped with an accessible wet room for her daughter Krista, 26.

Sharing their story with PA Real Life, Lynn said: "Krista has quadriplegic cerebral palsy so all of her limbs can’t really move. She looks as though she’s a bit spaced out most days but she’s verbal – she can definitely talk.
Lynn moved into her bungalow in July 2019, and in September of the same year she reached out to a builder who had previously worked on her partner’s property because she felt she "could trust him". She claims she paid £3,000 for him to convert her only bathroom into a wet room and install a wheelchair ramp, hoping to make the house more accessible for Krista.
"I was so angry and upset over it, I couldn’t believe it," she explained. Over the past month, Lynn has reported a worsening damp situation in her home, which has left her and her daughter resorting to washing with just a sink and flannel. Lynn expressed her distress: "It’s really horrible, you just don’t feel clean."
He emphasized that the core issue was the lack of sealing before installation: "But that’s only a minor issue, the overall problem really was the fact that he didn’t seal the floor first before he put the floor down, and now it can’t drain any water."
