The AI assistant for painters and decorators:
every job qualified, every quote chased
With Reepli.ai, the AI answers while you're up the scaffold, gauges how serious an enquiry is — area, interior or exterior, timescale — and chases the quotes that went quiet.
In summary
- A decorator's hands are full from morning to night: roller, sprayer, scaffold. The phone rings and the job goes to whoever picked up first.
- With Reepli.ai, the AI replies within seconds, records the area, the substrate and the timescale, then feeds your WhatsApp CRM.
- Reepli does not price your jobs. It automatically chases the quotes you've already sent — a full repaint or an exterior job is rarely decided within the week.
- The AI tells a customer wanting one bedroom done apart from a block-management contract: you only drive out for what's worth the trip.
- Measuring visits get booked from WhatsApp through appointment booking for tradespeople.
- When you're on site all day, an automated phone answering setup picks up the slack. Flat fee from 79€/month.
You can't pick up with a roller in your hand on a scaffold
You're up high, dust sheets down, halfway through a finish coat. The phone buzzes: someone wants a quote to repaint a whole flat. You'll call back tonight — except tonight two other decorators have already been round to measure up. In decorating the quote is won before it's even priced: it's won on the first reply.
Missed calls up the scaffold — the job goes to whoever answers first
Quotes sent then forgotten, with no follow-up at all
Wasted measuring trips when the enquiry was never serious
The problem is neither your finish nor your pricing: it's that nobody answers while you paint. That is exactly what Reepli.ai is for.
An agent holding the line while you're on site
Instant reply, even at height
The AI answers within seconds, asks the rough area, whether it's interior or exterior, the state of the substrate and the timescale. You come down to an enquiry already scoped.
Sorting the real jobs
One bedroom to freshen up and a block exterior don't deserve the same reaction time. The AI asks the questions that separate them and pushes the bigger jobs to the top.
Automatic quote follow-up
A decorating quote gets compared for weeks. Reepli follows up at the right moment, without nagging. See our client follow-up templates.
Measuring appointments
The customer picks a slot from WhatsApp with a reminder the day before — no more driving out to an empty flat.
Review request at handover
When the job is finished and the customer is happy with the room, the AI sends the Google review request. See how to collect reviews over WhatsApp.
Instagram enquiries in the same inbox
Your before-and-afters pull in DMs — usually a photo of a room and "what would that look like at mine?". The agent handles them exactly as WhatsApp: instant replies on Instagram.
A decorator's day with Reepli on backup
7:30am — Heading to site
Three messages overnight: a quote for a whole two-bed, an exterior enquiry, a question about lead times. The AI qualified them; you know who to call.
11am — Mid-coat
A homeowner writes about repainting their kitchen. The AI takes the area and offers a measure-up on Thursday evening. You never put the roller down.
3pm — A dormant quote
An exterior quote sent a fortnight ago has gone quiet. Reepli follows up. The customer replies they were waiting on a management company vote.
6pm — End of day
The review request goes to the customer whose flat was handed over yesterday. Your Google profile gains a recommendation.
FAQ — Reepli for painter-decorator
What tool works for a painter-decorator who can't answer the phone?
A decorator works with both hands full, often at height with sheets down: picking up costs time and breaks the coat you're on. Reepli.ai answers for you on WhatsApp, qualifies the enquiry (area, interior or exterior, substrate, timescale) and hands you the file. You call back in the evening without having lost the job.
How do I stop wasted measuring trips?
By qualifying before you set off. Reepli.ai always asks the area, the nature of the work, the timescale and the finish expected. You only drive out for enquiries that stand up — which matters when a measure-up costs you half a day.
Does Reepli price my decorating quotes?
No. Reepli.ai generates no quotes: a decorating price depends on area, substrate condition, number of coats, ceiling height and access. What it does do is automatically chase quotes you've sent that went unanswered — which is where the win rate is decided.
Can Reepli book my measure-ups?
Yes. The customer picks a slot inside the WhatsApp conversation and gets a reminder the day before. That removes trips to empty flats, which cost most when the job is across town.
How much does Reepli cost for a painter-decorator?
Reepli.ai is a flat fee from 79€/month, with no per-message or per-customer charge. It covers 24/7 AI replies, job triage, quote follow-up, measure-up booking and Google review requests.
