Plumber: charge diagnosis and accepted repair work

For a plumbing call-out, agree on the visit or diagnosis charge first. Once the fault is identified, request payment for repair or replacement only after the customer accepts that work.

Plumber: charge diagnosis and accepted repair work

What this changes

The practical benefit for your work

  • A clear request avoids mixing a diagnostic fee with later repair work.
  • Payment status can be checked remotely before or after the intervention under your terms.

Next step

Choose the right payment request

  • Agree on the service and amount with your customer.
  • Send a payment request by SMS or email at the agreed time.
  • Check the confirmed payment; request any later balance separately.

Examples for this activity

  • A leak inspection is charged as the agreed diagnostic.
  • A water-heater replacement is quoted and accepted before a separate request for work or materials.

Payment steps

Agree on the call-out or diagnostic fee. Send the payment request at the agreed time and check its status. If further work is accepted, send a distinct request for its price or balance.

A question before you start

Does every job require three payments?

No. The number and timing of requests depend on the accepted service and your terms.

A useful distinction

Choose the right next step

Avoid assuming the cost of a repair before the diagnosis has established what the client accepts. See the relevant PayLinker flow.
