| Faucet replacement | $250 |
| Toilet replacement | $450 |

Example: Water heater replacement after a leak
A 12-year-old 50-gallon tank is leaking into the garage. The customer needs hot water today, so you skip the long estimate: they agree on site, you take a card deposit and schedule the install for this afternoon.
| Water heater install 50 gal | $1,800 |
| Expansion tank | $225 |
| Haul-away old tank | $95 |
| Drain pan and line | $120 |
| Total | $2,240 |
| Deposit to start (50%) | $1,120 |
Use Schedule right from the job — no estimate needed when the price was agreed in person. The plumber takes before-and-after photos, marks Done, and the invoice already knows the deposit was paid.
An example to show how it works — prices and steps are yours to set.
What customers ask a plumber
Should I go tankless?
Depends on gas line size, venting and budget. Send each option as its own estimate so the customer can compare them side by side.
How long will I be without water?
For a tank swap, usually a few hours. Note it on the job so the customer is not surprised.
Do you clean up the old unit?
Add haul-away as its own line — customers appreciate seeing it is included.
Tips for your plumber business
- Emergency calls close fastest when the price is agreed on site — schedule first, invoice the same day.
- Collect a deposit before ordering anything special; it filters out shoppers.
- Photos of the old leak protect you if the customer's insurance asks later.
One path, start to paid
New job → Estimate → Schedule → Crew does it → Invoice → Paid. The same simple steps for every job, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Questions plumbers ask
Can my customer pay a deposit before I order parts?
Yes. Set a deposit on the estimate; the customer pays it by card and the job is approved at the same time.
Do my plumbers see what I charge?
No. Workers see the customer, the address, the work and the notes — never prices or money.
