Website for tilers and bathroom fitters, with package prices per bathroom size
A bathroom fit-out gets booked months ahead, priced by the size of the room and governed by wet room rules the customer has half heard of. Every enquiry opens with the same three questions and closes with the one you dread, which is when could you start.
The site runs on your own domain, with SSL, hosting and nightly backups in every plan. From €49 to €199 a month, excluding VAT.
Three things that come up on every bathroom enquiry
Always these three, always before anything useful can be discussed.
How big is it, really
They say a small bathroom. It has a bath, a separate shower, a window in an awkward spot and a boxed in soil pipe. Small to them is a whole price band away from small to you.
Until that is settled no figure can be given, and asking for measurements over the phone gets you a pause and a guess in feet.
When could you start
The honest answer is often four months, and four months said out loud sounds like a refusal. Written down, next to a list of what those four months are booked with, it sounds like a firm with a full order book.
The people who cannot wait find that out now instead of after two visits, which suits both of you.
Will it be done properly
Tanking, falls, movement joints, what goes on the wall behind a shower: the customer knows those words exist and has no idea what they mean. What they are really worried about is a leak into a ceiling two winters from now.
Your certification and your method answer that, and at the moment neither is written anywhere they can read it.
Four things a bathroom firm leans on
A trade sold by room size, booked a season ahead and bought on trust needs all four of these doing work.
Packages by bathroom size
A cloakroom, a standard three piece, a full wet room: three sizes, three package prices, each saying what is in it and what is not. Tiling on its own goes up by the square metre as a from-price, for the households who have a fitter and want a tiler.
That one page answers what the phone call was going to be about anyway.
What the package holds, row by row
Strip out, waste away, first fix, tanking, tiling, second fix, sanitaryware, silicone and making good. If they want a different tile or a wall hung unit, that is a row on its own with its own figure beside it.
Approval happens on the quote's page and a deposit can be paid there through your own Stripe account, which is also what turns a provisional start date into a real one.
Wet room rules in plain words
What tanking is and why a shower needs it. What your certification actually covers. How long a bathroom takes and why it is not one continuous week of noise. Why a floor sometimes has to come up.
Written once, in the words you would use standing in the room. It saves the same twenty minute conversation and it is the part a nervous customer reads twice.
A book that runs months ahead
Who has approved, who has paid a deposit, who is waiting on a tile delivery, and which month each of them belongs to. That, in practice, is what a four month order book is.
It sits with the site rather than in a diary that only exists in the van, so when somebody rings in March about a September bathroom you can find them.
A tiler's list, priced by room and by metre
You set the packages and the rates. The list exists so the size question and the price question are settled before anybody picks up a phone.
Splitting bathrooms from tiling only lets each carry its own prices and its own photographs.
Questions tilers and bathroom fitters ask
Yes. Each size becomes a service of its own with a fixed package price and a note saying what is covered, and anything beyond it goes onto the quote as a separate row.
Put it on the page. A start month sitting next to a price is simply a fact, and people take it a great deal better in writing than they do halfway through a phone call.
Into the questions section and onto the wet room page, where a customer worried about leaks will go looking. It is the sort of thing that never comes up on the phone and always matters.
If you put a square metre rate against it, yes. They measure the room, multiply, and get in touch already knowing the order of magnitude, which removes the awkward part of a first call.
It can be brought across, so the pictures and the wording you already have carry over. What is missing gets drafted from your description, and all of it is editable on the page afterwards.
There are four, from €49 to €199 a month before VAT. Each runs your site on a domain you own with SSL, hosting, nightly backups and support, and SMS reminders are the only prepaid extra.
