AI WhatsApp for UK Tilers
A builder WhatsApps photos of a prepared bathroom and asks for a tiling quote — walls and floor in large-format porcelain. Your AI responds while you set out a herringbone pattern.
It is Sunday afternoon. A couple in Stockport have spent the morning at a tile showroom and chosen a grey marble-effect porcelain for their bathroom floor and walls. They are excited and want to get the job booked in. They take a photo of the tile sample, a photo of their existing bathroom, and WhatsApp your number: 'Hi, we have just chosen our tiles for a full bathroom retile. Can you give us a rough idea of cost and availability? Photos attached.' You are having lunch with family and will not check your phone until the evening. Without AI WhatsApp, the message sits for six hours. They message two other tilers and the first to reply books the measure-up. With the AI, they get a response in under ten seconds: 'Thanks for the photos — those tiles will look fantastic. Could you let me know the rough bathroom dimensions and your postcode? We will arrange a call to discuss the job properly.' They reply with measurements. Monday morning, you call — first in the queue with a fully qualified lead.
Why Tilers Need AI WhatsApp
Customers Send Bathroom Photos
Homeowners photograph the cracked tiles, the bare plaster, or the tile samples they have chosen and WhatsApp them directly. The AI acknowledges the photos and captures the context — giving your tiling business a head start before you call back.
Instant Response
WhatsApp users expect fast replies. When someone messages a tiling contractor and hears nothing for two days, they message the next one. Your AI replies in seconds — keeping the customer engaged while you finish the job.
Built for Tilers on Site
You are on your knees setting tiles with adhesive drying. Checking WhatsApp between cuts is not realistic. The AI handles messages so your tiling company never misses an opportunity.
Structured Lead Capture
The AI asks follow-up questions — which rooms, tile type, substrate condition, timeline. Each conversation becomes a usable lead for your tile fitting business.
Evening and Weekend Coverage
WhatsApp messages from homeowners peak after showroom visits — evenings and weekends. The AI captures them in real time while you are off the tools.
Complements Phone and Chat
Some customers prefer WhatsApp to calling. Offering it alongside phone answering means your tiling business captures leads from every communication style.
AI WhatsApp is an add-on at £23/month on top of the Core plan (£49/month). Full pricing →
The Numbers Behind UK Construction

Customers message your WhatsApp business number. The AI responds instantly, asks about the tiling work needed, captures their details, and sends you a lead summary. It handles text messages, photos, and voice notes.
Can the AI handle photo messages of tiling work?
Yes. When a customer sends photos of damaged tiles, bare walls, or tile samples they have chosen, the AI acknowledges the images specifically. It references the visual context in the conversation — asking about the area to be tiled, the tile size, and whether they need wall prep — and includes the photo details in your lead summary so you can assess the scope before visiting.

Yes. When you are free, you take over. The AI handles initial engagement — you step in when ready.

No. We set up the integration during onboarding. If you already have WhatsApp Business, we connect to it.
