Tiler App – Tiling Services Booking App
A booking app that connects homeowners with tilers, turning a hard-to-describe tiling job into a clear request with photos and measurements, and letting tradespeople manage requests and bookings from their phone.
Overview
Tiler App is a booking app for tiling work. Homeowners describe the job they need done, find a tiler and book them, while tilers receive requests, respond and manage their bookings from the same app. Sodio built the platform — both sides of the app and the marketplace between them.
Tiling is hard to book well because it is hard to describe. The price depends on the area, the tiles, the surface underneath and how much preparation it needs, and most homeowners cannot explain any of that in a phone call. The app guides them through the details that matter — the room, the size of the area and photos of the space — so a tiler can understand the job before turning up.
For tilers, the app gives a clear list of requests, each with the information needed to respond, and a schedule they can manage around the work they already have.
/// The Brief
The client wanted to make booking a tiler as straightforward as booking any other service — without the back-and-forth of calls, site visits for simple jobs, and quotes that shift once the work begins.
The brief was a two-sided app: easy enough for a homeowner to describe a job accurately, and practical enough for a tradesperson to use between jobs, on site, with limited time and no desk nearby.
/// Our Approach
We designed the job request around the questions a tiler would ask. Rather than a free-text box, homeowners are guided through the room, the approximate area and the kind of work involved, and asked to add photos. A better-described job means fewer wasted visits and fewer surprises once the work starts.
The tiler side was built for use on site. Requests arrive with everything needed to respond, and a tiler can reply, confirm a booking or check their schedule in a few taps, without sitting down at a computer. Bookings are organised around the work a tiler already has, rather than forcing them to manage two calendars.
Trust matters on both sides of a trades booking. Homeowners need confidence in who is coming into their home, and tilers need confidence that a request is genuine. The platform was designed so both sides can see who they are dealing with before a job is confirmed.
/// The Result
The result is Tiler App: a booking platform connecting homeowners with tilers, with clear job requests on one side and a manageable schedule on the other.
Homeowners can describe their job properly and book with confidence. Tilers get requests they can actually respond to, from their phone, between jobs.
It is a marketplace built around the reality of the trade — that the hardest part of a tiling job is often understanding it before anyone arrives.
