Plumber Invoice Template

What to include on a plumber invoice

A plumber invoice should clearly separate the diagnosis, the labor, and the parts so the customer understands the bill and your warranty holds up. Include your business name, license number, and contact info, the customer name and service address, the date, and a unique invoice number. List the service-call fee, labor, and each part or fixture used, and describe the problem you fixed. Note your warranty and any recommended follow-up. For installs, record the fixture model so the customer can register the manufacturer warranty.

Common line items

Plumber invoices typically include these line items:

• Service call or diagnostic fee
• Labor, hourly or flat-rate by task
• Parts and fittings: valves, pipe, connectors, seals
• Fixtures: faucets, toilets, water heaters, disposals
• Drain cleaning or camera inspection
• Permit fees for larger work

Payment terms

Residential plumbing is usually due on completion, often paid on site by card. Larger jobs such as water-heater installs or repipes may use a deposit plus balance. Commercial and property-management accounts commonly run Net 30. State whether your service-call fee is credited toward the repair so the customer knows what to expect.

How to get paid faster

Collect on site before you pack up by carrying a card reader or sending a payment link from your phone. Itemizing labor and parts separately makes the bill feel fair and cuts down on questions, and noting the warranty reduces callbacks. For property managers, a consistent Net 30 invoice with the unit address speeds approval.
