How to grow your payments app with wet room installers
By SendPay Business · · 2 min read
Wet room installers strip out old bathrooms and shower rooms, waterproof the floor and walls, fit a level floor that drains, and tile the room so it is easy to use and clean. Many customers want level access as they get older or for a family member with limited mobility. Most jobs start with a deposit for materials, with the rest paid when the room is finished. A payments app that handles deposits and final payments can win wet room installers, and every customer that pays them sees your app.
Talk to wet room installers
Ask local wet room installers:
- Do you take a deposit before ordering materials?
- Do longer jobs have stage payments?
- How do customers pay the rest when the room is finished?
- How long do invoices take to be paid?
Take a deposit when the job is booked
A link sent with the quote lets the customer pay a deposit straight away, so the installer can order tiles, trays and waterproofing.
Get paid when the room is finished
The customer can pay the rest by card or link once the wet room is ready to use, so the installer isn't chasing the final payment.
Grow through bathroom trades
Wet room installers work alongside plumbers, tilers and bathroom fitters. When those businesses take payments through your app, each installer can bring more of them onto it.
