Tile Installer invoice template
Tile is billed by area and pattern complexity, and substrate and waterproofing are the invisible half. Build one below — prefilled tile installer services, payment terms, PDF download, and a public payment link.
How tile installer invoicing actually works
Layout drives labour more than area does. A straight-set square tile on a flat floor and a herringbone in large-format porcelain on a wall with niches are different jobs at the same square footage. Name the pattern, the tile size and the number of cuts-heavy features, because that is where the hours went.
Waterproofing in wet areas is the part that matters and the part nobody sees. Membrane type, coverage, pre-slope on shower floors and how the niche and curb were treated determine whether the installation is sound in ten years. Itemising it distinguishes a proper installation from a cheaper one and documents what is behind the tile.
What belongs on a tile installer invoice
Beyond the universals — your details, the customer's details, a unique invoice number, dates, totals and payment terms — these are the lines that matter in this trade.
- Area, tile size and layout pattern
- Straight set, offset, herringbone, diagonal — plus large-format handling where applicable.
- Substrate preparation
- Backer board, levelling, flatness correction, and demolition of existing.
- Waterproofing system in wet areas
- Membrane type and coverage, pre-slope, niche and curb treatment.
- Grout, trim and finishing
- Grout type and colour, sealing, edge trim, transitions and caulked movement joints.

Getting paid as a tile installer
- Deposit covering tile, which is ordered by batch — dye lots vary and reordering later rarely matches.
- Order a waste allowance and say so; customers who buy exactly their square footage end up short.
- Stage bathroom work against waterproofing completion so the customer sees and signs off the layer that will be buried.
Example invoice wording: Installed tile, grouted joints, cleaned surface, and removed debris.
Tile Installer invoicing questions
What should a tile installer invoice include?
A tile installer invoice should include your business details, the customer's contact information, itemized services, materials or fees, taxes, payment terms, a due date, and a clear total due.
Can tile installers send invoices from a phone?
Yes. BillingDone is designed for fast mobile invoice creation so you can create, send, and collect payment while you are still on site.
Can I save common services?
Yes. Start with the built-in Quick Add Invoice Library, then save custom services, prices, and descriptions for your own repeat work.
Why does tile layout affect the price?
Because pattern drives cut count and handling. Herringbone, diagonal layouts and large-format tile all take substantially more labour per square foot than a straight set, and features like niches multiply cuts.
What waterproofing should a tile invoice specify?
The membrane system used and its coverage, plus pre-slope on shower floors and how niches and curbs were treated. It is the part of the job that decides its lifespan and the part that becomes permanently invisible.
