EXAMPLE AT A GLANCE
This fictional Nottingham shower enclosure regrouting project has 7 itemised lines and an illustrative £1,593.79 total. The app-exported PDF, first-page preview, measurement basis, scope boundaries and matching UK estimating guide let you inspect every quantity and rate.
What this example covers
This fictional job is set in Nottingham and concerns one existing shower enclosure. Remove failed grout and sealant from sound shower wall tile joints, regrout and reseal accessible junctions. The estimate is a bounded document: the customer should be able to compare the described work with its measured lines, product allowances and exclusions. The matching UK guide explains how to prepare those inputs.

Itemised shower enclosure regrouting example
These 7 lines reproduce the app-exported PDF exactly. The largest is Regrouting labour at £564.98; this is one fictional component, not a typical price. Read each quantity with its unit: area, length, time, count and lump sum describe different work and must not be interchanged.
| Work item | Quantity | Unit rate | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|
| Condition check and masking | 1 lump sum | £116.00 | £116.00 |
| Grout removal | 8.2 sq m | £60.30 | £494.46 |
| Joint clean and dry | 1 lump sum | £108.00 | £108.00 |
| Grout allowance | 1 lump sum | £84.00 | £84.00 |
| Regrouting labour | 8.2 sq m | £68.90 | £564.98 |
| Sealant renewal | 9.8 metres | £15.75 | £154.35 |
| Final clean and handoff | 1 lump sum | £72.00 | £72.00 |
| Illustrative total | £1,593.79 | ||
The table separates the named product or material allowances from labour and site tasks wherever the scope needs that distinction. Before replacing a rate, check whether the product allowance includes delivery, waste, fixings and the selected specification.
How the total is calculated
Grout removal is 8.2 sq m × £60.30 = £494.46. Regrouting labour is 8.2 sq m × £68.90 = £564.98. The other lines follow the same calculation and sum to £1,593.79. Each fixture line lands on an exact penny, so the native PDF total equals the sum of the displayed line amounts.
Measurement to check: Measure tiled wall area, joint width, corners and sealant run separately. Selection to check: Confirm grout and sealant products; distinguish cosmetic renewal from a waterproofing repair. The 0% tax field and zero markup are example document inputs, not an instruction for a live quote. Decide the correct settings for your own business and job.
Assumptions and exclusions
Test for loose tile and allow drying before new materials are applied.
Outside this stated scope: No tile replacement, concealed leak repair or waterproofing guarantee.
Water behind tile or a failed waterproofing layer requires a new scope. A changed condition should lead to a newly measured quantity, explicit revised allowance or separately agreed task. Keep the customer informed of which figure changed and why before producing another PDF.
