Check the arithmetic
- Grout removal: 88 sq. ft. × C$8.40 = C$739.20.
- Regrouting labour: 88 sq. ft. × C$9.60 = C$844.80.
The rounded line amounts add to C$2,384.40. The PDF's tax field is 0%, so its illustrated total stays C$2,384.40 before any markup. The sample shows 0% tax only to make the arithmetic visible. Determine any applicable GST, HST or PST and markup for the actual work before sharing a quote.
Measurement to verify: Measure tiled wall area, joint width, corners and sealant run separately. Product decision: Confirm grout and sealant products; distinguish cosmetic renewal from a waterproofing repair.
The grout removal line uses 88 sq. ft., approximately 8.18 m². Keep the actual site measurement and the supplier’s selling unit together when you replace this quantity.
Assumptions and exclusions
Test for loose tile and allow drying before new materials are applied.
Outside this example: No tile replacement, concealed leak repair or waterproofing guarantee.
Water behind tile or a failed waterproofing layer requires a new scope. Verify the existing water, waste and fixture connections on site. Confirm who handles any required trade work, approvals and inspections for this address; this fictional document does not decide them. Confirm a change and update the estimate before adding work that was not in the base scope.
