Win more plastering work — follow up the quotes that went quiet
You quoted the re-skim, sent it over… then nothing. Plastering quotes are quick to compare, so a friendly nudge keeps you on the list — and Chas'up makes sure the follow-up happens.
The plastering quotes that go quiet
Fast-turnaround work that's easy to lose if left:
- Skimming & re-skims
- Full room & ceiling plastering
- Rendering (external & K-rend)
- Dot-and-dab & dry lining
- Coving, cornices & repairs
- Damp patch & crack making-good
Plastering's fast-turnaround work, so a quote that goes cold is a slot you could've filled — gone to whoever replied first.
Why plasterers lose quoted work
Plastering quotes are quick for customers to compare and quick to go cold. You're covered in muck all day and the admin waits, so it's easy to miss the follow-up — and the booking goes to the plasterer who chased.
How to chase a plastering quote (without being pushy)
Send a friendly nudge around three days after the quote, then widen the gaps. Keep it helpful, not salesy — offer to talk it through or revisit the spec, and give them an easy out. A quick WhatsApp or text gets seen far faster than email. Here's the kind of thing that works:
Cheers,
[Your name] ([Business])

Let Chas'up do the chasing
The hard part isn't writing the chase — it's remembering to when you've got tools to wash off and the next job to get to. Chas'up keeps a list of your open quotes, tells you who to chase today (with the £ on the line), drafts the message in your words, and opens WhatsApp, text or email ready to go. You read it and press send — nothing fires off on its own, and it stops the second you mark a job won or lost.
