Designed for practical work
Give every painting job a clear scope.
Painting prices depend on surface condition, preparation, finish, access and materials. A detailed quote helps the customer understand what is included before work begins.
Explain preparation and coats
Record cleaning, sanding, patching, priming and the planned number of coats instead of relying on a vague description.
Show materials and access costs
Include paint, consumables, equipment, scaffolding or difficult-access allowances as clear line items where relevant.
Keep approval with the quote
Send a professional document, track its status and retain the customer’s acceptance alongside the agreed scope.
Try the whole job
See what happens after you hit send.
Play the customer: open the quote, type a name and sign it. Then record a deposit and the final payment. It takes 30 seconds and nothing is saved.

Built for the trades
More than quotes and invoices.
The tools that protect the money on every job, all included in the same price.
Your wholesaler’s prices
Import your supplier’s price file, set your markup and see your margin on every quote. Customers never see your costs.
Variations signed on site
Extra work? The customer signs the variation on your phone or by link, and it’s added to the invoice.
Profit on every job
Materials, hours and other costs against what you invoiced, so you can see which jobs made money.
Licence and insurance reminders
Wattlebase emails you 30 days and 7 days before a licence, card or insurance runs out. Send the certificate to a builder in seconds.
More Google reviews
A short email the morning after a customer pays asks for a review. Never more than once in 6 months, with a stop link.
Property managers and sites
Keep an agency’s properties, tenants and work order numbers together, with smoke alarm and safety checks due.
Photos and optional extras
Add site photos to quotes and jobs, and let customers tick optional extras when they accept.
After the quote
The rest of the job, sorted.
Wattlebase keeps going once the customer says yes, from booking the work to getting paid.
Get paid by card
Every invoice can carry a Pay now button. Customers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay and the money lands in your bank.
Jobs and reminders
Book the job, set up repeat visits and let Wattlebase remind the customer the day before you arrive.
Bring your team
Invite office staff and workers. Assign jobs and give field workers their own view without the prices.

Common questions
What small businesses ask
Can I quote interior and exterior painting separately?
Yes. Add separate line items for rooms, surfaces, elevations, preparation and finishes so each part of the work is clear.
Can I include paint and scaffolding costs?
Yes. Materials, equipment, access and other charges can be itemised with their own quantities and prices.
Can a customer accept a painting quote online?
Yes. A sent quote can provide a secure response page where the customer records their acceptance details.
Can I turn an accepted painting quote into an invoice?
Yes. The accepted quote can be converted while retaining its customer, scope and pricing snapshot.
Can my customers pay by card?
Yes. Connect your own Stripe account and invoices and deposits get a Pay now button for card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. The money goes to your bank, the invoice marks itself paid, and Wattlebase takes no cut.
Can my staff use it too?
Yes. The Team plan is $39 AUD a month for up to 5 people. Invite staff with Owner, Office or Field access and assign jobs to them; field workers see their jobs without the prices.

Yes. There’s nothing to download from an app store. Open wattlebase.com.au on your phone and add it to your home screen in two taps, and it opens full screen like any other app.
