Pricing tips for plumbers
- Quote call-out and first hour separately so small jobs still cover travel time.
- List fittings and pipe by length so the client sees what they are paying for.
- Add a line for disposal of the old fixture; it is the line most often forgotten.
- For emergency jobs, state the after-hours rate on the quote before you start.
- Mark up materials to cover collection time and waste — QuoteCraft applies a materials markup without showing it as a separate line.
- Ask for a deposit on larger jobs; the quote shows the deposit amount under the total.

Frequently asked questions
What should a plumbing quote include?
Your business details, the client’s name and job address, a clear description of the plumbing work, each labour and material line with quantity and price, tax, the total, how long the price is valid, any deposit, and what is not included.
Should I charge for writing a quote?
Most tradespeople quote small domestic jobs for free and charge a call-out or survey fee for complex jobs or diagnostics. If you charge, say so before you visit and deduct it from the job if the client goes ahead.
How long should my quote be valid?
Thirty days is common. Use a shorter period (7–14 days) when material prices are moving quickly. QuoteCraft adds the validity date automatically.
What is the difference between a quote and an estimate?
A quote is a fixed price for the work described; an estimate is an informed guess that can change. If the scope is unclear, list assumptions in the notes or give an estimate instead.
