Plumbing quoting

Plumbing quoting software
— quote jobs in under two minutes.

Plumbing runs from a five-minute tap washer to a burst pipe under a slab, and the drivers a customer never sees — wall access, concealed waste and slab penetration — are what move the price. Tradewin prices every job against your real material and labour costs and sends a proper quote before you've packed up the van. Save your bread-and-butter jobs — hot water swaps, mixer installs, drain unblocks — as TradeWin Recipes™ so the next quote is a couple of taps.

What drives the price of plumbing work

The same job can vary widely. Tradewin prices against your real costs, so these factors are built in — not guessed.

Wall & waste access

A wall-hung basin or concealed mixer means in-wall bodies, structural fixings and tile make-good — the same fixture costs far more than an exposed swap.

Hot water system type

Electric, continuous flow, heat pump and solar each carry different units, flue and electrical needs — tank size and location swing the price hundreds of dollars.

Concealed & under-slab work

Under-slab leak detection, pipe re-routes and CCTV drain inspections add concrete cutting, investigation time and make-good a customer rarely prices in.

Compliance & certification

Backflow testing and tempering-valve certs are billable, licensed work — quoting them explicitly protects your margin and your ticket.

Common plumbing jobs and what moves the price

  • Backflow Prevention Annual Testing & Cert

    Water authority legal requirement — annual recurring B2B job; priced per device.

  • Basin — Wall-Hung / Concealed Waste

    Structural fixings, concealed waste, and tile make-good add to standard pricing.

  • Bath Installation

    Varies with bath type, waste access, and whether tiling or waterproofing is included.

  • Bathroom Renovation Plumbing

    Enter bathroom floor area. Fixture count, wall access, and waterproofing all affect the per-sqm rate.

  • Dishwasher Connection / Installation

    Includes supply and waste connection — additional cost if new plumbing points required.

  • Electric Hot Water System

    Varies with tank size, location, and electrical connection complexity.
