How It Works for Tilers
Most tilers are still doing invoices on the laptop at 10pm, or writing them up on a notepad and photographing them on their phone. Both approaches are slow, unprofessional, and mean you're leaving money on the table — research consistently shows same-day invoices get paid significantly faster than end-of-week invoices.

You type INVOICE or QUOTE, answer six short questions about the job, and receive a professionally branded PDF invoice in under 60 seconds.

Why Tilers Get Paid Slower Than They Should
The main reason tilers don't get paid on time isn't that customers don't want to pay — it's that the invoice arrives late, or doesn't look professional enough to prompt immediate action, or there's no follow-up when the due date passes.
Same-day invoicing is the single biggest change most tilers can make. When you invoice from the driveway while the customer is still thinking about the job, there's no gap for them to forget, lose the invoice, or dispute what was done. Payment is psychologically easier when the work is fresh.
Automatic reminders handle the awkward follow-up. Most tradespeople hate chasing money — it feels confrontational. TaskDrop sends professional, politely worded reminders at 7, 14 and 21 days without you having to do anything. Most late payments resolve on the first reminder.
Tiler Day Rates Across the UK
Tiler day rates range from around £150–£200/day in the North and Midlands up to £250–£400/day in London. Per-square-metre pricing is common for floor tiling. TaskDrop invoices both formats clearly — customers can see exactly what they're paying for and why.
Common tiler jobs on TaskDrop: bathroom tiling, kitchen tiling, floor tiling, wall tiling, and commercial property tiling.
Pricing — From £19/month
TaskDrop's Starter plan is £19/month — that's 30 invoices and quotes per month, branded PDFs, bank transfer invoicing, and customer dashboard access. The Pro plan is £39/month and adds unlimited documents, auto payment reminders, CIS invoices, job reports, HMRC deadline reminders, and annual tax summaries.
Both plans include a 14-day free trial with no card required. If TaskDrop doesn't save you time, you walk away — no charge.
At £19/month, TaskDrop pays for itself on the first invoice it helps you send faster. The average tradesperson spends 15–20 minutes on a manual invoice. TaskDrop takes 60 seconds. Over 30 invoices a month, that's 7–9 hours back.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I list tiles and materials separately on the invoice?
