Kitchen, bathroom and flooring fitters: pricing pages that pre-qualify
A "get a quote" form does not qualify anyone. Here is how kitchen, bathroom and flooring fitters use a structured pricing page to filter leads before the phone rings.
Most kitchen, bathroom and flooring fitters we talk to have the same page doing the heaviest lifting on their site: a contact form under the words "get a free quote." It asks for a name, a number, and maybe a message box. Then every enquiry, good or hopeless, lands in the same inbox and someone has to sort it by phone.
We have rebuilt enough of these sites to see the pattern clearly. Fitters who replace that form with a structured pricing page do not get fewer enquiries. They get better ones, and they spend far less time driving to quote jobs that were never going to convert.
Why "request a quote" is not enough
A bare contact form puts zero friction between a browsing homeowner and your calendar. That sounds good until you realise friction is what separates someone three months from a renovation budget from someone googling at midnight out of curiosity. Without any pricing context, both people fill in the same box, and you cannot tell them apart until you call.
The fix is not to hide your prices. It is to show enough structure that the wrong enquiries filter themselves out before they ever reach your phone.
What belongs on a fitter's pricing page
- Package tiers (e.g. basic refit, mid-range, full renovation) with a price range for each, not one generic "from £X"
- What is included at each tier: units, worktop, appliances, tiling, labour, waste removal
- A clear statement of what changes the price up or down (room size, access, structural changes, materials)
- Typical project timelines, so people with a tight deadline self-select in or out
- A short qualifying form that asks room size, rough budget band, and target start date before the final submit
- Real project photos next to the tier they belong to, not a generic stock gallery
Package pricing beats itemised lists
We tested both formats across several fitter and trades sites. Itemised price lists (per-unit cost, per-metre tiling cost, hourly labour) read as precise but they overwhelm a homeowner who has never bought a kitchen refit before. They cannot do the maths in their head, so they leave and request a callback anyway, which defeats the purpose of publishing prices at all.
Package tiers do the maths for them. "Mid-range bathroom refit: £6,500 to £9,000, most 2-3 bed bathrooms" tells a homeowner in one line whether they are in the right place.
| Format | What it does well | Where it fails |
|---|---|---|
| Bare contact form | Low effort to build | No filtering, every enquiry looks identical |
| Itemised price list | Looks thorough and precise | Homeowner cannot estimate a total, abandons the page |
| Package tiers with ranges | Self-selects budget fit fast | Needs real project data to set honest ranges |
Let the page do the qualifying
The strongest version of this page does not stop at showing prices. It asks two or three questions before the enquiry goes anywhere: roughly how big is the space, what is the rough budget band, and when do they want work to start. None of that needs to be a long form. It is three dropdowns above the submit button.
That is the same principle behind good web development for any local trade: the site should do work your team used to do on the phone. A fitter who adds this to their site typically tells us the first call with a new lead is shorter and more useful, because both sides already know roughly what they are discussing.

What to avoid
- Publishing a single "from £X" figure with no context on what that buys
- Burying pricing behind a PDF brochure download that most mobile visitors will not open
- Using stock photography instead of your own finished jobs next to each tier
- Making the qualifying questions mandatory in a way that blocks someone who genuinely just wants a rough idea
None of this requires a full rebuild. Most fitter sites can add a proper pricing page as a single new page plus a short qualifying step on the existing contact form. The return is fewer wasted site visits and a shorter path from click to booked job, which matters more in a trade where every quote visit costs real time.
Questions people also ask
Should kitchen and bathroom fitters show exact prices online?
Show ranges tied to clear package tiers rather than exact figures. Ranges give homeowners enough to self-qualify without locking you into a number before you have seen the job.
Will publishing prices scare off customers or invite lowball negotiating?
In practice it filters out people who were never going to afford the job and attracts people who are ready to move, because they can see they are in the right range before they contact you.
How often should a fitter update their pricing page?
Review ranges every few months against recent completed jobs and material costs. Stale ranges that no longer match what you charge undermine the trust the page is meant to build.
