Tile fitters: scheduling multi-day tiling jobs

How tile fitters can schedule multi-day tiling jobs with online booking: visits online, one booking per work day from your list, drying days and changes.

5 min read

A bathroom or a large floor takes several days: preparation, laying, drying, grouting. Clients want to know which days you'll be in, and you want to fill the drying days with other work. With Book, clients book a visit on your own booking page, and you book each work day from your list, so the client gets the full plan in their calendar.

Visit and work services

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations and prices are examples. Leave the price empty on work services; an empty price is hidden.

One booking per work day

A slot sits within one day, so a job is a set of bookings. After the visit, book each day yourself from your bookings list: preparation, laying, then grouting after the drying time. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each day. Write the stage in the note, such as "laying, day 2", so it shows in their calendar file.

Drying days

Leave the drying days free in the client's plan, and say in the description that the room can't be used during them. Fill those days with small repair visits or another client's laying day.

Visits online

Open visit slots at the end of your work days. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for the address, the room, the area in square metres and whether tiles are already chosen. Ask for photos by email.

Other trades

A bathroom may need a plumber before and after you. Agree the order with the client and the other trades, then book your days. Say in the description what must be done before you start.

Changes

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the days from your list. If tiles arrive late, move the days and tell the client yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes. Your bookings sync with Google, iPhone or Mac calendars.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't write estimates, order materials, take payments or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with a team, create services per tiler. See the guide on small repair visits. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
