AI assistant for plumbers: leaks and emergencies directly assessed
You can't text from under a sink. Slimbot catches leaks, blockages and quote requests via WhatsApp, e-mail and your website, asks for address and photo, and puts urgent reports at the top in one inbox for the whole team.
Good morning, the drain in our shower is barely running and it smells.
Assistant's draft
Good morning, how annoying! What's the address, and is the drain in the floor also running slowly? A photo of the drain will help the plumber.

In practice
What comes in to plumbers — and what Slimbot does
"Water is coming through the bathroom ceiling."
Immediate advice to turn off the mains tap, request address and photo, and prioritise the report to your team.
"The toilet won't flush anymore."
The assistant asks what has already been tried and requests a photo; you see at a glance what kind of job it is.
"Can you fit a new mixer tap in the kitchen?"
Request details (brand, connection, photo) and prepare for your quote. You name the price.
"The boiler is making a strange noise."
Request make, model and error code, so you can assess whether the part needs to go in the van.
"Is my maintenance already scheduled?"
Reply based on the appointment in your calendar; if there's nothing there, the question goes to you.

Try it yourself
Ask a question as a customer of a plumber
Choose a question and see how the assistant responds. These are pre-written example answers (not live AI). In your own account, the assistant bases itself on your own data, and you decide whether an answer goes automatically or for approval first.

How it works
Get started in three steps
From sign-up to working channel. You keep your own number.
1
Connect your WhatsApp
The number already on your van and website, via QR code.
2
Enter your working method
Service area, call-out charges, what you do and don't do, which words mean urgent.
3
Let reports come in
First as drafts that you approve, later independently if you wish.
Features
What you get
Features that Slimbot has today. No promises we don't keep.
Separate urgent from non-urgent
Water through the ceiling or a dripping tap? The assistant asks for details, you decide which words count as urgent and those notifications come to the top.
Photo of the situation
A photo of the leak, the trap or the boiler says more than ten questions. Customers send them along, so you know what needs to go in the van.
Mention call-out charges upfront
If you enter your call-out fee, the assistant can mention it before the appointment. Prices for the job itself are always determined by you.
Appointment and reminder
Suggest available times from your connected calendar and book the appointment, with a reminder from your own number.
Call back for maintenance
Boiler maintenance or a pipe check: an invitation from your own number when you add a next maintenance to the customer card.

From €14.95 per month
Excl. VAT, from the live price list. Start with a free account; a subscription only begins when you accept it.
What does the assistant do in case of an acute leak?
You set which words count as urgent. Such a report gets priority with your team, with the advice to turn off the mains tap. The plumber then decides for themselves whether and when to come.
Does the assistant mention a price for a repair?
Only what you enter yourself, such as call-out charges. The assistant doesn't give a price for a job or a remote diagnosis.
Can customers send photos and videos?
Yes, via WhatsApp and the chat on your website. They appear in the conversation and on the customer card.
Does it work if I don't have an office myself?
Yes. Everything runs in the browser or the app; you don't need a fixed workplace.
Can my colleague also view it?
Yes, your team works in the same inbox and can assign and take over conversations.
What does it cost?
You start with a free account, no credit card required. Current monthly amounts are on the pricing page and you can cancel monthly.
