Shipping & Delivery Policy
THORVA Tile and Bathrooms
We aim to deliver all orders efficiently and safely. Due to the nature of tiles, bathroom products, and heavy goods, many items are delivered on pallets or via specialist courier services.
Delivery Areas
We currently deliver throughout the UK mainland.
Some remote areas (including parts of Scotland, islands, and offshore locations) may incur additional charges or extended delivery times.
If your postcode is affected, we will contact you before dispatch.
Delivery Times
Delivery times vary depending on stock and product type:
- In-stock items: 3–7 working days
- Special order items: 7–21 working days (approx.)
- Large or palletised orders: scheduled delivery via carrier
Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to supplier availability or courier delays.
Delivery Method
Depending on your order, delivery will be made via:
- Standard courier (small items)
- Pallet delivery (tiles, baths, large orders)
- Specialist freight delivery (heavy or fragile goods)
Pallet deliveries are typically kerbside only, meaning delivery is made to the nearest accessible point outside your property.
Important Delivery Conditions
For pallet deliveries:
- Ensure there is suitable access for a large delivery vehicle
- You may need assistance to move goods once delivered
- The driver is not responsible for carrying items inside your property
Failure to provide suitable access may result in failed delivery charges.
Inspecting Your Delivery
It is extremely important that you check your goods upon arrival:
- Inspect all items before signing for delivery
- If packaging is damaged, note it clearly on the delivery paperwork
- If possible, take photos at the time of delivery
- Report any issues within 48 hours
Failure to note damage at the point of delivery may affect any claim.
Failed Deliveries
If a delivery cannot be completed due to:
- Incorrect address provided
- No access to property
- Missed delivery appointment
- Refusal of delivery without valid reason
Additional re-delivery charges may apply.
Delivery Charges
Delivery costs are calculated at checkout based on:
- Order size
- Weight
- Delivery location
- Pallet requirements
Large or bulk orders may qualify for discounted or free delivery (where applicable).
Damaged or Missing Items
If your order arrives damaged or incomplete:
- Contact us within 48 hours of delivery
- Provide photos of packaging and items

We will resolve issues with replacement or refund where appropriate.
