Preparation guide
Example workflow
Confirm scope and quantities
Example: start with "Strip-out and disposal of the old bathroom", confirm the required quantity and client inputs, then agree completion criteria for each item.
Review and approve the quotation
Confirm acceptance evidence for "Plumbing and electrical connections", all line quantities, exclusions and quote validity with the customer, and retain the approved version.
Deliver and prepare billing
Confirm completed quantities, site photos, agreed test results and any remaining remedial work. When the agreed milestone is complete, prepare an invoice using actual quantities and approved changes.
A bathroom renovation estimate prices a job whose real condition is hidden behind the tiles. Clients compare several estimates, so the lines need to show what each one includes: the strip-out, the waterproofing and tiling by area, the fixtures and the trades that connect them. This template follows that order and leaves the notes for what the price does not cover, such as moving the drain or replacing a rotten floor found after demolition.
Fields to prepare
- Deliverables and line items
- Strip-out and disposal of the old bathroom, Waterproofing, wall and floor tiling, Supply and fit of basin, WC and shower, Plumbing and electrical connections: specify the planned quantity and delivery scope for each item.
- Strip-out and disposal of the old bathroom
- Say whether skip hire and disposal fees are in the price; clients often compare estimates on exactly this line.
- Waterproofing, wall and floor tiling
- Price tiling per square metre and name the tile allowance, so a client who picks dearer tiles knows what changes.
- Supply and fit of basin, WC and shower
- List each fixture with its model or a price allowance, and mark the ones the client buys themselves.
- Plumbing and electrical connections
- Keep plumbing and electrical apart; electrical work may need its own sign-off where you work.
- Site and measured quantities
- Record the site, work zones, areas, lengths or counts, and access hours.
- Materials and work stages
- Specify materials, labor, removal, disposal and making-good allowances, and completion criteria for each stage.
- Scope to agree
- State the floor and wall areas in square metres, which fixtures the client supplies, and what happens if the strip-out reveals rotten boards or old pipework.
Before sending
- Does “Strip-out and disposal of the old bathroom” say what is included and what quantity the price assumes?
- Would the customer read “Waterproofing, wall and floor tiling” the way you do, including what it leaves out?
- Can you still honour the price of “Supply and fit of basin, WC and shower” on the last day the quotation is valid?

Frequently asked questions
How do I price what I cannot see before the strip-out?
Price what you can see and name a provisional sum or a day rate for hidden defects in the notes. The client then knows the estimate can change, and by how much.
How long should a renovation estimate stay valid?
Long enough for the client to decide, often a few weeks. Tile and fixture prices move, so state the validity date and which prices it depends on.
How is the sales tax worked out on this quotation?
The worked example above uses an example rate of 8%: $690.40 on a net amount of $8,630.00, for a total of $9,320.40. The editor recalculates all three when you change a quantity, a price or the country.
Can I download it as Excel, Word or PDF?
Yes. A PDF needs no account: fill in the template and use Print / PDF. The Excel and Word files download from this page with a free account, and the spreadsheet keeps its formulas, so changing a quantity updates the tax and the total.
Can I email it to the customer?
Yes, from your own mail app. With a free account, the editor’s download menu offers Email this document, which opens your mail app with a message about the document already written. QuoteBill sends nothing itself, so save the PDF and attach it before you send.
