EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This Edinburgh example prices one framed shower screen replacement with 7 itemised lines and a £1,264.00 illustrative total. It uses fictional prices, a 0% tax input and no markup; verify all inputs for an actual job.
A defined shower screen installation job
This fictional project is located in Edinburgh. Replace one framed shower screen on an existing suitable enclosure. Include measured product allowance, removal, installation, sealant, function check and old-screen disposal. Tile repair, enclosure rebuilding and plumbing are excluded. The written scope is the boundary of the example: a customer should be able to match each planned task to a line in the document, and see where a product choice or hidden condition still needs checking.

Read every amount in pounds
The table reproduces the fixture sent to the app exporter. Each amount is its quantity multiplied by the shown unit rate, rounded to pence. The largest line is Framed screen product allowance at £544.00; that is a part of the total, not a standard price for work of this kind. Check the unit, quantity and scope together before comparing lines with a real supplier or subcontractor quote.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening measurement and product check | 1 lump sum | £76.00 | £76.00 |
| Existing screen removal | 1 each | £108.00 | £108.00 |
| Framed screen product allowance | 1 each | £544.00 | £544.00 |
| Mounting hardware allowance | 1 lump sum | £76.00 | £76.00 |
| Screen installation labour | 1 each | £300.00 | £300.00 |
| Perimeter sealant and finish | 1 lump sum | £72.00 | £72.00 |
| Disposal and clean-up | 1 lump sum | £88.00 | £88.00 |
| Subtotal / example total | £1,264.00 | ||
For a quick cross-check, opening measurement and product check is 1 lump sum × £76.00 = £76.00, and existing screen removal is 1 each × £108.00 = £108.00. The sum of all 7 line amounts is £1,264.00. The PDF's 0% tax input and zero markup are example settings; determine the correct inputs for your own work.
What this example assumes
The example assumes sound, suitable enclosure surfaces. Loose tile or hidden deterioration can change the mounting approach and must be resolved before the base scope is treated as complete.
Work outside the example: No tile replacement, enclosure rebuild, plumbing work, concealed damage repair or new shower-pan work.
The quantity basis matters. Where a product allowance differs from an installation quantity, the difference reflects this fictional layout or purchase plan and must be checked against the selected product. Existing conditions, safe access and any necessary approvals remain project decisions. Agree how changed measurements or discoveries will be recorded and priced before extra work begins.

Build an estimate for your own job
Start with a measured site record and the customer's selected finish or equipment. Replace all fictional quantities and rates, assign responsibility for supply and waste removal, and check that the exclusions describe the actual boundary. Review each extended amount, total and note in the PDF before sharing it.
- Measure the finished opening and swing clearance.
- Confirm the exact screen product.
- Inspect mounting surfaces.
- State tile repair and disposal boundaries.

Common questions
Why is an opening measurement line useful?
It makes the product-ordering basis visible and allows an estimate to distinguish a measured replacement from a guessed nominal size.
Does installation include tile repair?
Only when listed. Existing tile condition should be inspected and any repair agreed separately.
