Writing a quote for a bathroom renovation

A bathroom consists of many separate jobs. With a clear quote the customer knows exactly what they get.

A bathroom renovation consists of many parts: demolition, plumbing, tiling, sanitary ware, electrics. A good quote makes that clear.

Divide the quote into phases

  1. Preparation and demolition. Removing old sanitary ware, tiles and any drainage.
  2. Plumbing and electrics. Water, drainage, heating, lighting and ventilation.
  3. Walls and floors. Levelling, waterproofing, tiling and grouting.
  4. Sanitary ware and fittings. Shower, toilet, basin, taps and furniture.
  5. Finishing. Sealing, painting and handover.

What must be clear

  • Who supplies what? Does the customer supply tiles and sanitary ware, or do you? Put it on each line.
  • Provisional sums. Is the price of tiles or sanitary ware not yet known? Use a provisional sum and record up to what amount.
  • Invisible work. What you only see during the work, such as a poor substrate, can lead to extra work. Agree beforehand how you charge for it.
  • Schedule. How long is the bathroom out of use?

Tips for a fast quote

  • Measure the room and take photos of what you see, including pipes and the meter cupboard.
  • Use calculation rules for tiling per m² and wall finishing.
  • State clearly what is not included.
