Plumbing Quotation: mistakes to avoid
- Write the exclusions before the inclusions. It shows you where the project leaks.

- A lone total invites "cheaper?". An itemised one invites "what can we remove?".
- Carry the accepted line items straight into the invoice, word for word.
Frequently asked questions
How long should a Plumbing Quotation stay valid?
State an explicit validity period — thirty days is standard. Without it a client can accept your price months later, after your costs have risen. The expiry also creates gentle urgency without you discounting.
What is the difference between a quotation and an estimate?
A quotation is a fixed price for defined work and is generally binding once accepted within its validity period. An estimate is an approximation that may change as the scope firms up.
Should tax be shown separately?
Always. A tax-inclusive total hides your actual rate and confuses the client's finance team. Show taxable value, rate, tax amount and grand total on separate lines.
Can I turn it into an invoice once accepted?
Yes, and you should reuse the same descriptions and numbers. Rewriting them introduces discrepancies that delay payment.
