Grafta for Tilers
Quote the bathroom by the square metre while the customer's still choosing tiles — and take the deposit before you order the adhesive.
Say the job. Grafta writes the quote.
A real example of the kind of job a tiler quotes with Grafta — spoken once, itemised automatically.

The admin that eats a tiler's evenings
Every quote needs m², rates and materials — and every evening disappears into them.
Tiles ordered, adhesive bought, deposit still "in the post".

Grafta, working the way tilers work
Per-m² quotes by voice
Say the area and rate — the itemised quote writes itself, with materials as their own lines.
Deposits before you order
Deposit invoice goes out with the accepted quote, so you're never fronting the materials.
Same-day invoicing
Last tile grouted, invoice sent — from the phone, before the tools are in the van.
Receipts on the job
Snap the trade-counter receipt and it's attached to the job for your accountant.
Plus jobs & scheduling, receipt scanning, customer records and a live money view — see all features.

VAT, done right
Most of this work qualifies for the reduced 13.5% VAT rate as a service on a property — but if the materials cost more than two-thirds of the ex-VAT price, the whole job flips to 23% (the "two-thirds rule"). Grafta handles VAT per line item so the invoice comes out right either way.

Customer supplies tiles, I supply the rest — how does that look on a quote?
Exactly like that: your labour per m² as one line, your adhesive/trim as another, and tiles marked as customer-supplied at €0 so there's no ambiguity about what's included.
Can I take a deposit for materials?
Yes — send a deposit invoice the moment the quote's accepted and invoice the balance on completion, both against the same job.
Do I need the laptop for any of this?
No — Grafta is phone-first. Quotes, invoices, payments and reminders all run from the phone in your pocket.
How much does Grafta cost?
Solo is €9.99/month for your first year on the founding offer (then €19.99), and Team starts at €49/month for 2 users. Every plan starts with a free trial — no card needed.
Do my customers need the app to accept a quote?
No. You send a link — they open it in their browser, see the itemised quote with your branding, and tap Accept. You get notified straight away.
