- Bathroom fit on Monday, boiler swap on Tuesday, outside tap on Friday. You price each one from memory and whatever the merchant charged you last time.
- You spend the evening on the laptop pricing radiators, valves, copper and fittings so you can send a quote tomorrow.
- The quote goes out as a text with one number in it, and the customer wants a breakdown before they say yes.
Quote plumbing jobs before you leave the drive
Describe the job on your phone and FirstPrice builds an itemised quote with real merchant prices, ready to send before you pull off the drive.
Three free quotes, no card, no signup.
Quoting plumbers, before and after
The same job, priced two ways. Only one of them lands the work.
- Voice note the job on the driveway. FirstPrice prices the suite, the boiler, the pipe and the fittings while you drive to the next job.
- The quote is built from live merchant prices, not what you paid for a bath six months ago.
- The customer gets a clean PDF with every line itemised, the VAT split and your name at the top. Accept it, invoice it, done.
How it works
From pulling up outside the job to a sent quote, without opening a laptop.
01
Voice-note or photo the job on the driveway
Stand on the drive and talk the job through. Rip out the old suite, fit the new bath, basin and toilet, re-pipe the feeds. Take a photo if it helps. FirstPrice turns it into a list of work.
02
FirstPrice builds the quote with real merchant prices
FirstPrice prices every material from live UK merchant catalogues: bathroom suites, boilers, copper pipe per metre, fittings, radiator valves, waste pipe. It adds your day rate for the labour. The numbers come back itemised in under a minute.
03
Send the PDF quote, customer accepts, you invoice
The quote goes out as a clean PDF with your company name, the VAT split and a 30-day validity. Customer says yes, you do the job, you raise the invoice from the same figures.
What a FirstPrice quote looks like
Itemised materials at live merchant prices, your day rate for labour, VAT split done — the exact document the app produces.

Why FirstPrice for plumbers
Built for the way the work is actually priced on site.
- Every radiator valve, copper fitting and bath panel is priced from Screwfix or Toolstation's live catalogue, not last year's price list.
- Know what a boiler costs today, not what you paid for one six months ago.
- Your day rate, your margin. FirstPrice doesn't tell you what to charge for labour.
- Send a proper PDF from your phone while you're still on the driveway.
- CIS and VAT worked out line by line.
