A WhatsApp quote for a home repair job in Tenerife should be short, specific, and easy to approve. The safest format is: confirm the scope, list exclusions, define materials, give a timeline, state the total price including IGIC, and finish with warranty and payment terms. Below you’ll find a ready-to-copy WhatsApp template (English + Spanish) that helps you look professional and reduces misunderstandings.

Why WhatsApp quotes matter for home repairs in Tenerife

In Tenerife, many home repair jobs are booked fast and informally, especially when the customer is a tourist, an overseas owner, or a property manager coordinating remotely. WhatsApp is convenient, but it’s also where misunderstandings happen when the quote is vague.

A good WhatsApp quote acts like a mini-contract. It sets expectations and protects both sides, even if you later issue a formal invoice.

• It reduces “Can you also…” add-ons that blow up your schedule.
• It makes your price easier to compare (in a good way) because it’s clear what’s included.
• It gives the customer confidence you’ll show up and finish.

The 7-part structure of a clear WhatsApp quote

Use the same structure every time. Customers learn your format quickly, and you’ll waste less time rewriting messages.

• 1) Job ID + address + contact (so the quote can’t be confused with another property).
• 2) Scope (included work) in bullet points, written as outcomes.
• 3) Exclusions (what you are not doing), written plainly.
• 4) Materials (included or client-supplied) and brand/quality assumptions.
• 5) Timeline (start date window, duration, access requirements).
• 6) Total price with IGIC clearly stated and whether it includes disposal/parking.
• 7) Warranty + payment terms (what’s covered, what voids it, deposit, transfer/cash, and due date).

Pricing: what to include and what drives the total

Home repair pricing in Tenerife varies by timing, complexity, and location. A WhatsApp quote is not the place for a long essay, but it must include the variables that change the price.

State your price as either a fixed total (best for small jobs) or a fixed labour amount plus materials at cost (best for unknowns). If the scope may change, include a clear “extra work approval” rule.

• Access: parking distance, stairs, keys with concierge, community rules, lift availability.
• Condition: hidden damage, old plumbing/electrics, damp, uneven walls, non-standard fittings.
• Materials: quality level, brand availability, colour matching, special-order parts.
• Urgency: same-day or weekend call-outs typically cost more.
• Disposal: rubble, bulky waste, and tip fees.

For IGIC: the Canary Islands use IGIC instead of mainland VAT, and the general rate is commonly 7%. When you quote, say whether your total is “IGIC included” and show the breakdown if you can.

A short checklist before you send the quote

Use this checklist to avoid the common WhatsApp quote mistakes that lead to disputes.

• Confirm the exact location (town/urbanización + apartment number).
• Confirm photos/video received, or schedule a visit if needed.
• Write the scope as bullet points (not a paragraph).
• Add at least 3 exclusions that commonly cause confusion.
• State start window and duration, not just “next week”.
• State total price and whether IGIC is included.
• State payment method and when payment is due.
• Add a simple acceptance line: “Reply OK to confirm.”

This format is designed to be readable on a phone. Keep it to one screen if possible, and send supporting photos as separate messages.

• Tip: Put English first if your client is international, then Spanish. If your client is local, reverse the order.

What to ask before booking (so you can quote accurately)

These questions prevent the two biggest problems: underquoting and surprise add-ons. Ask them before you confirm a fixed price.

• Can you send a short video showing the problem and the surrounding area?
• Has anyone attempted a repair already, and what was done?
• Is the property occupied, vacant, or managed by a keyholder?
• Are there community rules for working hours, lift use, or waste disposal?
• Is parking available nearby, or do I need a permit/access code?
• Do you want standard materials, or a specific brand/finish/colour match?
• What is your deadline (check-in date, inspection, tenant move-in)?

Common pitfalls (and wording that prevents disputes)

Most quote disputes happen because the client assumed something was included. Add these lines when relevant.

• Hidden issues: “If we find hidden damage, I’ll send photos and a price before proceeding.”
• Extra work control: “No extra work will be carried out without written WhatsApp approval.”
• Material substitutions: “If a part is unavailable, I’ll propose an equivalent option before purchase.”
• Access delays: “If access is not possible at the agreed time, a return visit may be chargeable.”
• Parking/tolls: “Parking costs (if any) are included/not included: [state clearly].”
