Quote a bathroom by the square metre, include the waterproofing and the materials, and invoice without a maths headache. Built for solo tilers, from $19/mo.

Tiling is priced off area and finish — the square metres, the tile, the substrate, the waterproofing in wet areas. Bathroom and kitchen jobs especially carry a lot of materials and prep that need to be on the quote so you're not eating the cost of extra tiles or a re-screed. Yamate makes the quote quick and gets you paid when the grout's in.

What a solo tiler actually needs

Quote by the square metre — set your rate per m² for floors and walls and let the line total do the maths.
Waterproofing as its own line — wet-area waterproofing is a real cost and a compliance step; itemise it so it's never absorbed into your labour.
Materials in the quote — tiles, adhesive, grout, trims and screed; include them or note who's supplying so there's no surprise.
Variations when the substrate's worse than expected — add the extra prep as a line when you lift the old floor and find a mess.
Deposit to cover the tile order — tiles are paid up front; take a deposit so it's not your cash tied up.

Typical jobs it handles

Bathroom and ensuite tiling, kitchen splashbacks, floor tiling, wet-area waterproofing, balconies and outdoor areas, repairs and re-grouts, screeding and prep, and commercial tiling. Save your usual rates and packages so a bathroom quote takes a minute.

🧱 Don't bury the waterproofing. It's a cost and a compliance requirement in wet areas — putting it as its own line on the quote protects your margin and shows the customer the job's being done properly.

Get paid when the job's done

Bathroom and kitchen jobs are big tickets to wait on. Yamate invoices the moment you finish, puts your PayID on the invoice, and chases anything overdue automatically.
