Frequently asked questions about plumbing quotes

Can I specify brands and models of materials in the quote?

Yes, in each line's description you can include the brand, model and reference of the material. That way there's no confusion about what will be installed.

How do I include the workmanship warranty in the document?

You can add notes with the warranty terms: duration, what it covers and what it doesn't. It's formally included in the signed document.

Can it be used for bathroom renovations with several phases?

Yes, you can separate plumbing lines by phase: strip-out, new installation, taps and sanitaryware, each with its own cost.

Guide to quoting in plumbing

The plumber who delivers a detailed quote stands out from the one who gives a price "off the cuff" over the phone. A professional plumbing quote should state the brand and model of the materials (taps, sanitaryware, boilers, pipework), distinguish between supply and installation, and specify whether it includes removing the old materials and any minor building work required.

For emergency repairs, the client appreciates a quick but transparent quote that separates the call-out charge, the labour per hour and the materials used. For new installations or bathroom and kitchen renovations, it's best to structure the quote by zone and detail each water point, drain and appliance connection so there are no surprises when the work is finished.

DealForge lets the plumber create quotes from their phone during the visit, with predefined lines for the most common jobs and automatic calculation of the total. The document includes the warranty in writing for materials and workmanship, and the client can accept it by signing from their phone on the spot, with no waiting and no paperwork.
