For kitchen & bathroom fitters

Invoicing for kitchen and bathroom fitters

A full kitchen, a bathroom refit, or a wetroom is two to four weeks of work with a big order paid for up front and a client living around the dust. Set the stages once, take the deposit before the units are ordered, and let each later stage chase itself while you fit.

Your first 3 invoices are free to send, no card needed. Quotes, stage plans, and credit notes are on the £10 a month plan.

The shape of a fit

From accepted quote to the last silicone bead

Quote accepted

The client accepts a priced quote online, whether the work came to you direct or through the showroom. Sending quotes is on the £10 a month plan. Convert it and a pre-filled invoice opens for you to stage up, review, and save.

Deposit on order

Carcases, doors, and worktops are bought before day one. The deposit is the first instalment of the payment plan, due before the order goes in.

Strip-out and first fix

Old units out, pipework and cables moved. The next stage falls due on its own date, payable by transfer or by card, so the family in the house can settle it from the sofa.

Units and worktops

Templating, granite, and appliances in. If something is dropped from the spec, a credit note takes it off at the rate it was billed at, netting off the balance once you send it. Credit notes are on the £10 a month plan.

Completion

The balance is chased for you at 1, 7, and 14 days past its due date. Snap the finished room and add up to two photos while the invoice is still a draft, so they go out on the PDF with it. On your showroom and letting-agent accounts, statutory interest is there to draft if a bill runs over, and repeat refits can sit on a recurring schedule.

Questions

Good to know

Can I get the deposit in before I order the units?

Yes. On a payment plan the deposit is simply the first instalment, with its own amount and its own due date, so it falls due before the order goes in. A single deposit on its own invoice is free to use; splitting an invoice into two or more instalments is part of the paid plan at £10 a month.

The client lives in the house. Can they pay each stage as I go?

Yes. Each stage falls due on its own date and can be paid by bank transfer, or by card once you connect a Stripe account. Stripe charges its own processing fees on card payments.

An appliance came out of the spec. How do I take it off?

Issue a credit note against the invoice for the appliance, at the rate it was billed at. The value nets off the balance owing, so the client sees the reduction rather than a rewritten invoice.

Can I show the finished room on the invoice?

Yes. Attach up to two photos while the invoice is still a draft and they appear on the PDF and on its online link. They cannot be changed once it is sent, and they do not appear on the Stripe card payment page.

I refit bathrooms for a letting agent every month. Can that invoice repeat?

Yes. Put it on a recurring schedule and Sendinvo raises and sends each invoice on its date. Recurring invoices always send automatically, so there is no draft to review first.

Order the units with the deposit already in.
