How to price the job

  1. 1

    Call-out plus time

    Charge a fixed call-out fee to cover travel and diagnosis, then labour by the hour for the repair itself.

  2. 2

    Parts at cost plus a margin

    List every part with its quantity. Clients accept a margin on parts when they can see what went in.

  3. 3

    Send it from the job

    Send the invoice before you drive off. Clients can pay by card from the link while you’re still there.

Questions

Should a plumber charge a call-out fee?

Many do, to cover travel and the time to find the problem. Put it as its own line so the client sees it separately from the repair.

Is this plumber invoice template free?

Yes. Download the PDF example for free. The Wow Invoice app is free to download too, and makes the same kind of invoice on your phone.

Can my clients pay the invoice by card?

Yes. Wow Invoice takes card payments through Stripe, so your client can pay by credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay straight from the invoice link.

Can I send an estimate first?

Yes. Send an estimate, and turn it into an invoice with one tap when the client says yes.
