Free Plumbing Invoice Template

When you’re writing the invoice, include a detailed list of what you provided and how much it cost. The customer then receives this document and knows what they need to pay and by what date.

Here’s what to include on a plumbing invoice:

• Invoice number for record-keeping purposes (e.g., Invoice #1001, #1002, etc.) 
• Invoice issue date and the payment due date
• Plumbing business name, logo, phone number, email, street address
• Customer’s name and contact details
• Line items that detail the plumbing work you provided (e.g., water heater inspection and repair, leaky pipes, clogged drains)
• Costs associated with each line item (labor costs, quantity of materials, hourly rates, overhead costs, any special discounts)
• Subtotal before applicable taxes, discounts, and service fees
• Total amount owed, including applicable taxes and discounts
• Invoice payment terms (payment deadline, instructions to make online payments,, accepted payment methods, late fees, any service warranty disclaimers)
• Personal note thanking the customer for choosing your plumbing services

This plumbing invoice template is part of our free Job Toolkit where you can store client information, convert templated plumbing estimates to invoices, and get paid for your work. It’s perfect for plumbing business owners (like you!) who are used to formatting and editing invoices on paper, or in Microsoft Word, Google Docs, Google Sheets, or Excel spreadsheets.

Bill and invoice are two terms for the same thing: a document that presents the amount of money a customer owes for plumbing services. 

The difference depends on whether you’re a buyer (customer) or seller (small business owner). Invoice is the term that service providers use, while a client might refer to that invoice as a bill they have to pay. In other words—a service provider sends an invoice to a customer, and the client receives a bill.

Just like invoices, a plumber bill format should include a complete breakdown of all project costs. This includes the unit price for materials (like fixtures and pipes), the number of hours the service took to complete, and payment information such as the due date, payment methods, and subtracted deposit.

Send an invoice as soon as you can after the job is complete—ideally, less than 48 hours after finishing a plumbing job. Sending invoices late can lead to confusion and delay you from getting paid. Just make sure you and your client agree that the job is done!

Typically, a plumbing invoice should be paid within two weeks of the service date. You can test payment deadlines and see what works best for your plumbing business’s cash flow, but within 30 days is generally the rule of thumb.

Some business owners prefer to accept a deposit beforehand, and final payment the day of the service. You might want to offer financing to your customers to get some payment up front and make your high-value services more affordable.
