Designed for practical work
Keep plumbing scope, pricing and terms clear.
Plumbing work can depend on access, existing conditions and product choices. A structured quote makes those details easier to communicate.
Explain access and assumptions
Record what the price assumes about access, existing services, excavation or concealed conditions.
Keep every customer together
Find contact details, notes and document history without searching through separate files.
Track the customer response
See whether a quote is draft, sent, accepted or declined and retain the acceptance details.
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.

Hi James, here is your quote for hot water system replacement. Total $2,508.00 incl. GST. You can review and accept it online.
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.
Compliance certificates
Record the CCEW, CES or other certificate on the job, with its number and file, and show the number on the invoice.
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.
Xero and BAS ready
Send invoices and payments to Xero automatically, or pull a GST report for any BAS quarter.

Common questions
What small businesses ask

Yes. Notes and terms can be edited for an individual quote.
Can I download the plumbing quote as a PDF?
Yes. Quotes can be downloaded as professional PDF documents.
Can I convert an approved quote to an invoice?
Yes. An accepted quote can be converted while preserving its customer and pricing snapshot.
Does it handle plumbing invoicing and billing too?
Yes. Email the plumbing invoice with a Pay now button, record cash or bank transfer payments, see which invoices are overdue and send invoices and payments to Xero.
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.
