Everything you need to run your painter business

Packed with powerful tools to grow your revenue, streamline your bookings, and boost client retention.

Estimate Visit Slots (Not Full-Day Bookings)

Offer short booking slots for site visits, colour consultations and landlord inspections, separate from full job starts. Customers pick a time, you get the address, parking notes and photos up front, and you stop playing phone tag.

Provisional Start Dates While Quotes Are Pending

Hold a “pencil-in” start date for bigger jobs like hall-stairs-landings, exteriors or full rental refreshes. When the quote is accepted and the deposit is paid, it confirms automatically—so you don’t lose the slot to someone else.

Deposits Before You Buy Paint

Take a deposit at the point of booking or when the quote is approved. Ideal for Farrow & Ball orders, specialist primers, wallpaper and scaffold costs. Less awkward chasing, fewer cancellations, and you’re not out of pocket.

Snag List & Touch-Up Reminders

Log snags like missed caulk lines, a second coat needed on a dark colour, or woodwork touch-ups after carpet fitters. Set reminders so the small bits don’t get forgotten and you don’t get the “you never came back” call weeks later.

Travel-Time Awareness for Quote Runs

Plan estimate visits by postcode so you’re not zig-zagging across town between jobs. Customers see realistic appointment windows, and you see where your day actually goes—especially when you’re fitting quotes around ongoing work.

Customer Updates Without Constant Calling

Automatic confirmations and reminders reduce no-shows for quotes and help customers prepare rooms (move furniture, clear shelves, keep pets away). You can also send a quick message if you’re stuck in traffic or finishing prep on the previous job.

The challenges every painter faces

Quotes, colour decisions and “can you just…” changes

Customers rarely book a straight job and stick to it. They’ll add a feature wall, swap eggshell for satin, or decide on wallpaper once you’ve priced it. Without a proper quote-to-booking flow, you lose track of what was agreed and end up re-quoting in the evenings.

Jobs that overrun because prep takes what it takes

Prep is where a good finish comes from, but it’s also where the time disappears: flaking paint, blown plaster, nicotine staining, damp patches, knotting, caulk lines. When a job runs long, your next booking gets squeezed and you’re the one apologising.

Access, keys and working around customers’ lives

Some clients want you in only when they’re home; landlords want key collection; shops need out-of-hours; nurseries need half-term. If you’re juggling access arrangements in messages, it’s easy to turn up to a locked door or the wrong site address.

Deposits and materials cashflow

Paint, primer, filler, dust sheets and sundries add up, especially on whole-house repaints or exteriors. If you start work without a deposit you’re funding the job yourself, and if the final invoice drags on you’re chasing money instead of quoting new work.

Built for real painter workflows

A typical day starts early: quick check of today’s job notes, what paint you’re using (and whether it’s on site), and whether you’re cutting in, rolling ceilings, or doing woodwork first. Then you’re loading up—dust sheets, masking, filler, sanding kit, caulk, and a few “just in case” extras. While you’re working, your phone is usually useless. You can’t answer properly with paint on your hands,...

Quick Setup

Get started in 3 simple steps

Your painter business accepting bookings in under 5 minutes

1

List Your Real-World Decorating Jobs

Add services like interior room painting, hall-stairs-landing, woodwork, wallpapering, exterior masonry, fence/decking, and landlord rental refreshes. Set which ones need an estimate visit first, and which can be booked as a fixed slot.

2

Set Quote Visit Areas and Start-Date Rules

Define where you’ll travel for quotes and how you schedule starts (e.g. only Mondays for multi-day jobs, buffer days for snagging, weather contingency for exteriors). This stops you scattering estimate visits across the day and losing working time.

3

Take Deposits and Confirm Bookings Automatically

Choose when to take payment: deposit on booking, deposit on quote acceptance, or balance on completion. Share your booking link on your Google Business Profile, Facebook, and invoices so customers can book without chasing you.

FAQ

Questions? Answers.

Everything you need to know about our painter booking system.

Try it free
Can I handle urgent decorating jobs like flood stains or last-minute sale prep?

Yes. You can keep specific “urgent” slots for quick turnarounds like stain blocking after a leak, patch repairs before viewings, or a one-room refresh before guests arrive. Customers book into those slots rather than interrupting you mid-job. You stay in control of what you can realistically fit in.

What job types can customers book — interior, exterior, wallpapering and woodwork?

You can create separate services for interior painting, exterior masonry/woodwork, wallpaper hanging/stripping, and trim/doors/skirting. Each service can have its own duration rules and whether it requires an estimate first. That means a “one bedroom repaint” doesn’t get treated like a “full exterior” booking.

When should I take payment for painting and decorating work?

Many decorators take a deposit once the quote is accepted, especially when specific paint or wallpaper needs ordering. You can then take the remaining balance on completion, or split payments for longer jobs (e.g. weekly on a full house). The system lets you set this per job type so you’re not funding materials yourself.

How does it cope with seasonal demand and weather delays for exteriors?

Exterior work often spikes in spring and summer, then gets disrupted by rain and cold snaps. You can set seasonal availability for exterior services and keep buffer days for weather movement. If you need to reschedule, customers already have clear booking details and you’re not rebuilding the diary from scratch.

Can I manage multiple painters or a small decorating team?

Yes. If you’ve got a second decorator, an apprentice, or a subbie for big jobs, you can allocate bookings to different people or keep certain services only for specific team members. That’s useful for splitting quote visits from on-site work. It also reduces double-booking when two jobs overlap.

How does it help turn quotes into confirmed jobs?

You can hold a provisional start date while the customer decides, then confirm it when they accept the quote and pay the deposit. That reduces the “we’ll let you know” limbo that leaves holes in the diary. It also stops you giving away your best start dates to time-wasters.

Will customers get updates about arrival times and what to prep in the room?

Customers receive confirmations and reminders so they’re ready—moving small furniture, taking pictures off walls, clearing shelves, and keeping pets out of the way. If you’re running late because prep took longer, you can send a quick message without a long phone call. Fewer awkward arrivals, fewer wasted trips.

Can I price differently for feature walls, dark colours, or tricky prep?

Yes. You can set different options or add-ons for things that change the workload, like strong colours needing extra coats, stain blocking, heavy filling/sanding, or wallpaper stripping. You can also keep some services as “estimate required” when the condition of the walls will decide the price. That keeps pricing fair without endless back-and-forth.

Why iBookFast for your painter business?

Most decorating businesses don’t struggle because they’re short of work. They struggle because the work comes in messy: a mix of small jobs (one room, one ceiling), bigger projects (whole-house repaints, exteriors), and time-sensitive turnarounds (landlord voids, sale prep, end-of-tenancy refreshes). Trying to manage all that through calls and messages is where the cracks show. The first pressure...
