Plumbers in Mthatha — common questions

How do I write a quote as a plumber in Mthatha?

List each item of work separately — labour and materials — with quantities and unit prices in rands. Add 15% VAT if you are VAT registered, include your validity period and payment terms, then send it as a branded PDF. SmartQuote does all of this from a plumber template so your Mthatha job takes a couple of minutes to quote.

Do I have to charge VAT on my quotes?

Only if you are registered for VAT with SARS, which is compulsory once your turnover passes R1 million in any 12 months. If you are registered, show 15% VAT and your VAT number on the quote. If not, switch VAT off in Settings and your totals will print without it.

What should a plumber in Mthatha include in a quote?

Your business details and VAT number, the client's details, a dated quote number, itemised geyser replacements work, the subtotal, VAT, total in ZAR, how long the price is valid, and your payment terms including any deposit.

How long should a quote stay valid?

Most Eastern Cape trades give 14 to 30 days. Material prices move, so state the validity clearly — SmartQuote adds it to every quote automatically.

Can I send quotes on WhatsApp?

Yes. Export the quote as a PDF and share it straight from your phone — that is how most Mthatha clients prefer to receive quotes.

Should a plumbing quote include a COC?

Yes — for geyser and water installations, list the Certificate of Compliance as its own line item so the client sees it is included (or excluded) before accepting.
