Estimate & Quote ?

[Time's Ran Out]

how about extras during the job; we emptyd a pool a few weeks ago after agreeing a price and found two leaks and informed the client, in the mean time went away on other job. come back client said this made us to expensive and got someone (to take over ) nice one mate .can they do this when you have started the job???

Start another thread and let others have some input.

If the Estimate/Quote issue has been resolved and you've slept on it which did you provide.
Is it at the measure stage or have you started the job.

Without more details any further input on the moral position you are in would be wrong.
We can all 'forget' to include £1300 in a price to win a job but is that fair on the other 'honest job' tilers who provided the correct costing for the work required.

Hi John,

I have only supplied an estimate, but as it is for a full bathroom refurb, have decided to swallow the extra cost,
Still a guts ache, as I went in fairly cheap to secure it.

Thanks all for your opinions and advice

Regards

Do you guys currently provide quotes which you stick to, or estimates, which may change?

I always stick to my quotes regardless!
If there is a part of the job that includes a possible unknown or an item that can only be investigated at a later stage, then I'll state that the price may alter, in my quote.
I'll also state that the quote is for a particular tile, so if the tile changes, then the price may too!

That quote of yours doesn't half sound like an actual estimate dressed as a quote that a politician has written.
