Quote it room by room. Get paid before the last coat dries.

Why painters and decorators use it

Built for quotes with a line per room

Deposit, then stages PRO

Deposit for materials, balance on completion — or stages per floor on a bigger job. Mark each received; the balance updates itself.

Quote → invoice in one tap

Accepted quote becomes the invoice with the same room-by-room lines. Nothing retyped.

VAT right first time

VAT-registered? Your VAT number, rate and totals appear on every invoice automatically. Not registered? A clean, compliant invoice without VAT lines — and you switch VAT on the day you register.

Saved items & clients

Per-room rates, per-m² wallpapering, ceilings, woodwork, materials — save them once, add them in two taps.

Site visits & call-backs PRO

Book the colour consultation and the snag visit against the job; they sync to your phone calendar and remind you.

Overdue chasing

Home shows what’s outstanding and what’s overdue; from any unpaid invoice, Remind client sends a ready-written reminder — amount due and your bank details — by WhatsApp, SMS or email.

How it works

From colour chart to final coat

  1. Price it on site. Open a quote, add a line per room from your saved items, set the deposit.
  2. Send the PDF from the driveway. Share by WhatsApp, email or LINE with your logo and terms; the customer gets a proper document, not a text message.
  3. Accepted → invoice, schedule attached. Convert the quote in one tap; the invoice carries the deposit and stages, with your bank details on it.
  4. Mark each stage received. Deposit, then each stage as it’s paid; the running balance is always visible.
  5. Issue the receipt. Record part-payments or the balance; a receipt PDF is one tap.
Common questions

Painters and decorators ask us

Can I quote room by room?
Yes. One line per room, each with its own price, from your saved items — the customer sees exactly what each room costs. Free plan included.
Can I take a deposit before starting?
Yes. On Pro you set a deposit on the quote; when the customer accepts, the invoice carries it as the first stage, due first. A refundable security deposit is handled separately and is never included in VAT totals.
Does it handle VAT?
Yes, on every plan including Free. Switch VAT on once with your registration details and every invoice carries your VAT number, the rate and the totals. Not registered yet? Leave it off and switch it on the day you register.
Can I put photos of the job on the invoice?
Not yet. Photos on the PDF are on the roadmap; today you would send them alongside the PDF in the same WhatsApp or email.
What does it cost?
Free: unlimited invoices and receipts, 3 quotes a month, your logo, VAT and bank details on every PDF, monthly and yearly reports — with a small GlideQuote watermark. Pro: £4.17 a month billed annually (£49.99 a year) or £6.99 month to month, and the first month is free.
