Example: a filled Tiler Invoice
A new house needs floor tiling and bathroom walls. The tiler sends an invoice for 120 square metres of floor, 40 of wall, and adhesive and grout.
Floor tiling labour, per square metre: 120 x ₦2,500 = ₦300,000
Wall tiling (bathrooms), per square metre: 40 x ₦3,000 = ₦120,000
Tile adhesive and grout: 1 x ₦95,000 = ₦95,000
Total: ₦515,000. These amounts are examples; use your own prices.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Not measuring before quoting
- Leaving it unclear who supplies tiles and cement
- Forgetting skirting and stair work
- Sending the invoice without a due date
Need a different document?
- Customer has already paid? Give a tiler receipt.
- Customer wants a price before deciding? Send a proforma invoice first.
How tilers use an invoice
Tiling is priced per square metre, and the client usually buys the tiles. An invoice for labour and materials lets the client approve the job before you start and keeps the job clear if they buy extra tiles halfway.
Writing the items on a tiler invoice
List each item or service on its own line, for example Floor tiling labour, per square metre, Wall tiling, Tile adhesive and grout, with the quantity and the price for one unit. The generator adds up each line and the total due. Below the items, add the date you expect payment and your bank details, so the customer can pay the moment they open the invoice.
Tips for tilers
- Write the area for floors and walls separately.
- State who buys the tiles and who buys adhesive and grout.
- Note extra work like skirting or cutting for odd shapes.
Getting paid faster
Invoices with bank details, a due date and clear item lines get paid sooner, because the customer doesn’t need to ask questions. Send the invoice the same day you agree the job, not days later.
Frequently asked questions
Does a tiler invoice include tiles?
Usually not. Most clients buy tiles themselves, so invoice for labour and any materials you supply.
How do I bill for stairs?
Price stairs per step or per metre and put them on their own line.
Do I need to charge VAT on my invoice?
Only if your business is registered for VAT. The VAT option adds 7.5% for you. If you are unsure, check with your accountant.
