New Turf Help

Hi, I had new turf laid at the beginning of April. I watered twice a day for the first 4 weeks or so until the joins had nearly gone. I then reduced to once a day. I did a first cut (mower at highest setting) about six weeks in. By this time the joints were gone and the grass passed the tugging test. I continued to water but every other day. The grass was very green, long and looked to be doing great.
I cut it Wednesday before the bank holiday. Whilst I was away someone cut it. They cut it short and I came back to, yellow / brown grass that looked like it had never seen water, bald parts and generally the look of dead grass.
Is it beyond repair? Is it possible I allowed it to grow too long before cutting it?
Ps trying to upload a picture.

Give it a couple of weeks and it will be fine. Just try and keep off it if you can.
Depending on whereabouts you are in the UK it's probably getting a lot of natural rainfall, and hopefully temperatures will pick up again soon which will also help.
