For UK plasterers & renderers
Price by the room or the day — and stop losing the small jobs
Plastering is a mix of one-room patches, full-house skims and rendering jobs that live or die on drying times and weather. Tradie Business Base gives you a pricing calculator that handles day rates, room rates and materials in one place, quotes you can send before you leave the driveway, and a schedule that copes when a damp wall delays the second coat.
Price by the metre, get paid the day the job's finished.

The admin problems plasterers tell us about
Small jobs eat the week
Price patch repairs and single ceilings properly with a minimum charge so half-day jobs stop costing a full day's money.
Materials guessed at the counter
Cost bags of plaster, beads, scrim and PVA against each job so merchant runs are priced in, not absorbed.
Drying times wreck the diary
Plan multi-visit jobs with gaps for curing built in, so a boarding day and a skim day never collide.

Plasterers — common questions
- Can I price by day rate and by the room?
- Yes — save both as presets and pick whichever fits the job, with materials and markup on top.
- Does it handle rendering work too?
- Yes — exterior rendering, K-rend and monocouche jobs price the same way: area, materials, access and labour days.
