You can't stop mid-wall with the adhesive going off. Sayora takes the call.

Bathrooms, kitchen floors, splashbacks: Sayora answers while you're on your knees with a trowel, captures the job and the sizes, and texts you the lead before the adhesive skins.

Sound familiar?

The calls you miss are the expensive ones.

11.05am Tuesday

Half a wall of porcelain up and the adhesive going off. Stopping now costs you the batch and the level line. The phone rings: a full bathroom, walls and floor.

Full bathroom tiling typically runs £800 to £1,200. The adhesive sets fine; the job sets with another tiler.

3.20pm Thursday

A bathroom fitter you've worked with before rings: his tiler's let him down for next week and he needs walls and floors on two jobs. You're grouting with both hands.

Trade relationships run on being reachable. He can't wait for tonight, so his next call is the next tiler, twice over.

6.40pm Monday

A homeowner rings about a kitchen floor, about 15 square metres of porcelain, a job that typically prices around £800. You're at the dinner table.

They're ringing down a list from a local Facebook group. Whoever answers tonight walks the job tomorrow.

A real call, start to finish.

Tuesday, 11.05am. Half a wall up, trowel in hand, adhesive at the point of no return.
Sayora

Hi, you've reached Merrick Tiling. I'm Sayora, the AI receptionist. Davie's mid-wall just now, but I can take it all down. What's the job?

Caller

We're having the bathroom redone and need the tiling: all the walls and the floor. The plumber finishes this Friday.

Sayora

Good timing to ring, then. Have you bought tiles already, or is that still to choose?

Caller

Bought and sitting in the hall. Big format ones for the walls, and a sort of slate-look porcelain for the floor.

Sayora

Davie will be pleased they're on site. Large format takes a bit more setting out, so he'll want a quick look before pricing. Roughly what size is the bathroom?

Caller

Normal family bathroom, maybe two metres by two and a half.

Sayora

Perfect. He could look tomorrow at five, price it on the spot, and if Friday goes to plan, start early next week. Shall I book the visit?

Caller

Yes please. Morag Innes, 7 Blackford Hill Rise.

Sayora

Booked for tomorrow at five, Morag. Confirmation's coming by text, and Davie will ring if the day shifts. He'll have a price for you at the door.

The wall stays true. One text: full bathroom, walls and floor, large-format tiles on site, plumber done Friday, look-over tomorrow at five.

What she can do

Built for the way tilers actually work.

Answers while the adhesive is open

Mixed adhesive doesn't pause. She takes every call so you never trade a straight wall for a new enquiry.

Captures what a tiler needs

Walls, floors or both, roughly how many square metres, tiles bought or needed, what the surface is now. Your callback starts with the picture drawn.

Slots into the K&B chain

Fitters, plumbers and builders passing you work get handled as trade, with dates and site details captured and flagged in your text.

Books the look-over live

She offers your real availability, books the measure-up mid-call, and texts the customer a confirmation from your business name.

Screens the cold calls

Tile-warehouse sales pitches and lead resellers get turned away politely, before they reach you mid-batch.

Fair questions

What tilers ask before they book.

Can she price tiling over the phone? +

Only to your rules. Many tilers price per square metre, around £50 a square metre in labour is typical nationally, and if you give her your rates she can quote small, well-defined jobs like splashbacks and book them. Anything with setting-out risk, she books the look-over instead.

Most of my work comes from bathroom fitters and builders. Does she help? +

That work exists because you're easy to hand a job to. She answers trade calls properly (dates, sizes, site details, who to ring back) and flags them in your text, so the fitter who needs next week covered gets an answer today, from you rather than the next tiler on his list.

What if a caller asks something she can't answer? +

She says so honestly, takes their details, and texts you the question so you ring back with the answer. She never guesses at trim colours or adhesive choices; that's your craft, not hers.

Can she manage my diary around drying times and other trades? +

She books into the slots you make available, and you set those knowing your cure times and the plumber's finish dates. She won't promise a start date you haven't offered; she manages the caller until you confirm.

Do I need a new number? +

No. Yours stays where it is. You get a dedicated UK number for Sayora and forward calls whenever your hands are full of trowel, or all the time. The divert is yours to control.

What does it cost? +

£49 a month on early access, unlimited minutes, no contract, cancel anytime. One captured bathroom covers most of a year.
