How to price it

  1. 1

    Price the parts you can see

    List the geyser element, pipe and fittings you know you need. For what you can’t see yet, give a range or an hourly rate.

  2. 2

    Separate the call-out

    A fixed call-out line covers travel and diagnosis, and the client sees exactly what the repair itself costs.

  3. 3

    Send it before you leave

    An estimate sent from the driveway wins more jobs than one emailed the next day. The client can sign it while you’re still there.

Send it from your phone, invoice with one tap

Wow Invoice turns this template into a 1-minute estimate: pick the design, add your logo, tap your saved items, and send it by text or email. When the client says yes, one tap turns it into the invoice.

Questions

Is a quotation the same as an estimate?

Mostly. In South Africa, India and Nigeria “quotation” is the usual word; in the US it is “estimate”. Both give the price before the work. In Wow Invoice you can rename it.

Is this plumber estimate template free?

Yes. Download the PDF example for free. The Wow Invoice app is free to download too, and makes estimates and invoices on your phone.

How does my client accept the estimate?

You send it from the app by text or email, and the client signs it to say yes. Then you turn it into an invoice with one tap.

Can I turn the estimate into an invoice?

Yes. When the client says yes, turn the estimate into an invoice with one tap, with the same items and prices.
