Sound familiar?

Built around the quoting problems decorators actually deal with

Every room needs a different level of prep, and the prep is where the time goes. Quote it flat and the filling, caulking and extra coats come out of your pocket.

Time lost to quoting admin

You shouldn't have to spend your evenings turning a walk-round into a written quote.

Quotes typed up after a full day on the brushes
Room lists, photos and paint specs all over the place
Working out coats, coverage and days by hand
Customers going elsewhere while the quote sits half-done

Profit lost through missed details

In decorating, the margin leaks out through the lines nobody wrote down.

Prep and filling underpriced — walls always worse than they looked
Woodwork counted by eye: doors, frames, skirting, architraves
Masking, sheeting up and moving furniture given away free
Extra coats and colour changes never charged as variations

Nothing missed

Build quotes with the details that protect your margin

Tibr helps you structure the parts of a decorating quote that are easy to forget when you're pricing from a quick look round and a few photos.

Prep & filling

Sanding, filling, caulking and making good — priced by condition, not guessed flat.

Mist coats & primers

New plaster mist coats, stain block and undercoat — the coats before the colour.

Paint & materials

Coverage, coats and sundries counted, so the paint bill doesn't eat the job.

Woodwork & glosswork

Doors, frames, skirting, architraves and sills — counted, not eyeballed.

Masking & protection

Sheeting up, masking off and moving furniture — time in the price, not a favour.

Assumptions

What the quote is based on — condition, colours, number of coats — in writing.

Exclusions

What's not included, so "while you're here" doesn't become free work.

Variations

Colour changes, extra rooms and extra coats captured before they cost you.

FAQs

Can I build a room-by-room finish schedule?

Yes. Describe each room and the finish it needs, and Tibr builds the quote room by room — prep, mist coats, undercoat, top coats and woodwork each on their own line, so nothing gets lumped together and underpriced.

Can I price night, weekend or phased work?

Yes. Out-of-hours repaints and phased areas go in as their own lines with their own rates, so working around a busy office or shop doesn't get absorbed into a flat price.

How does Tibr price my paint and materials?

On your rates, always. Tibr never invents prices — you set your day rates and material costs, it works out coats and coverage from the job description, and you review and edit every line before the quote is sent.
