Quoting and invoicing for bathroom fitters
SoloDesks is a quoting and invoicing app for self-employed bathroom fitters. Price the whole job at the survey — the strip-out, the suite, the tiling, the labour — and send a professional PDF before you leave. Take a deposit that covers the suite and tiles you order up front, stage the payments across a fit that runs a week or two, and turn the accepted quote into an invoice without typing it twice. Built for one fitter running the whole job, not a firm with an office.
Free plan, no card needed. $15/month for unlimited when you want it.
Why bathroom fitters use SoloDesks
Stage the payments across a two-week fit
A full bathroom is a fortnight of work and thousands in materials before the customer sees a finished room. Don't fund that from your own account. Invoice a deposit, a mid-point stage and the balance as separate invoices against the job, so you're never more than a few days' work away from being paid.
A deposit that covers the suite and the tiles
The suite, the brassware and the tiles they chose are ordered and paid for before day one, and half of it won't go back. Send a deposit invoice against the job that covers the materials, so a customer who gets cold feet after you've ordered leaves you square, not stuck with a bath in the garage.
The strip-out that hides a surprise
You never truly know a bathroom until the old one's out and you find the rot, the botched pipework or the floor that won't take weight. Add the extra as its own line the day you find it, quote the customer on the spot, and get the yes in writing before you carry on — not an argument at the end.
Everything itemised, so 'that's dear' has an answer
A bathroom is one big number until you break it open: strip-out, first-fix plumbing, tiling, the suite, second fix, making good. Itemise it and the customer sees where the money goes, and you've got a line to point at when they compare you to the quote that 'forgot' half the job.
One tap to accept, and the fortnight's booked
Every quote gets a private link. The customer opens it on their phone and taps Accept, and you see it the moment they do, with the job on the calendar and the address attached. A full fit blocks out weeks of your diary — know it's confirmed before you turn other work away. Three accept-links a month are free; Pro makes them unlimited.
Questions bathroom fitters ask
- What is the best quoting app for a self-employed bathroom fitter?
- The one you'll use at the survey, not the one that waits for a laptop. SoloDesks is built for solo bathroom fitters: itemise the strip-out, suite, tiling and labour, send a professional PDF quote on the spot, and turn it into an invoice when it's accepted. The free plan covers 10 quotes and 10 invoices a month, with no card required.
- How do I quote a full bathroom installation?
- Break it into lines — strip-out, first-fix plumbing, tiling, the suite and brassware, second fix, making good — so the customer sees the whole job rather than one lump sum. SoloDesks totals it into a professional PDF you can send before you leave the survey, and the same breakdown carries onto the invoice.
- Can I take a deposit and stage payments?
- Yes. Raise a deposit invoice for the materials up front, a stage invoice partway through, and the balance on completion — each as its own invoice against the job, tracking its own paid or unpaid status. A fit spread over two weeks never turns into guesswork about who owes what.
- How much does SoloDesks cost for a bathroom fitter?
- Free for 10 quotes, 10 invoices, 10 emailed PDFs and 3 one-tap accept-links a month, with unlimited clients and jobs. Pro makes those unlimited and puts your own logo on every PDF. There's no contract and you can cancel anytime.
- Does it chase late payments for me?
- Yes. On Pro, Overdue Autopilot emails your customer a reminder when an invoice is 7 days old, a firmer one at 14, and a final notice at 21, all under your name, and it stops the moment you mark the invoice paid. On the free plan, SoloDesks nudges you when an invoice goes quiet.
