The problem
Decorator quoting and painting estimating software
Most decorators lose jobs because the follow-up quote takes two days. QuickPrice is painting estimating software that prices walls, ceilings, and prep work from your phone while you're still on-site.
Paint coverage is hard to eyeball
Litres per coat, per wall, per room. Miss the prep for a badly-papered wall and you're buying paint you didn't quote for.
Prep work makes or breaks the quote
Filling, caulking, sanding, stain-blocking: the real labour hides in prep. Quote a flat rate per m² and you're guessing at the biggest variable in the job.
The customer's going to paint if you're not quick
Domestic decorating is price-sensitive. Customers compare three quotes or DIY it. Slow quotes lose both ways.
How it works
Site visit to accepted
quote in 60 seconds
Open the app on-site, describe the job, and send. Your customer accepts from their browser before you've left the drive.

02
Get a priced, itemised quote
The app writes professional line items, pulls real UK material costs and regional labour rates, calculates quantities, adds VAT, and generates your quote in seconds.
03

Features
Built for decorator quoting
QuickPrice is a native app designed for tradespeople who quote on-site, not a web form.
Knows UK paint and materials costs
Dulux, Crown, Farrow & Ball trade prices. Primers, undercoats, filler, caulk, sugar soap, masking. Describe rooms and surface conditions and the materials list prices itself.
Prices by room or by m²
Full decoration by room (walls, ceiling, woodwork) or priced per m² for larger jobs. Both formats supported. Choose what suits the customer.
Wallpaper line items handled properly
Rolls calculated from wall dimensions and pattern repeat, lining paper priced separately, stripping and prep time included. Hang-only or supply-and-hang.
Branded PDF with paint spec on every quote
Colour codes, paint brand and sheen level, number of coats. The customer sees exactly what they're getting. No "I assumed you'd use mid-sheen" conversations.

Testimonial
What tradespeople say
“I quote painters' hours for prep separately now. Customers actually appreciate the transparency, they can see why a room that needs filling costs more than one that doesn't. Three more jobs booked this month than usual.”

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about using QuickPrice for your trade.
How does the decorating estimating software handle paint coverage?
Describe room dimensions, surface condition, and number of coats. The app estimates litres needed by paint type and applies your margin. Adjust in the review step if you know your suppliers' coverage differs. TODO: verify coverage data against suppliers.
Can I quote interior and exterior together?
Yes. Break the job into interior and exterior sections in one quote. The app prices each by surface and applies appropriate labour rates (external work usually carries a premium).
Does it handle wallpaper calculations?
Yes. Give wall dimensions and paper specification (width, pattern repeat). The app calculates rolls needed including wastage, plus lining paper and hanging labour. Supply-and-hang or hang-only supported.
What about scaffold towers for high work?
Add a tower hire allowance as a line item. You can also price access equipment separately or absorb it into your rate, both are supported.
Can I itemise prep work separately?
Yes, and most decorators should. Line-item sanding, filling, caulking, and stain-blocking. Customers accept higher prices when they see the work, not just a lump sum.
Does my VAT number appear on the quote?
Yes. Add your VAT number and company details during setup. Every quote and invoice PDF carries your branding, VAT number, and payment terms.
