Shower quotes are fiddly. Waterproofing, fall to drain, screen sizing, niches, mixers and tile waste — miss one line and the job loses money. Most tradies still build shower quotes line-by-line in a notebook or a half-broken spreadsheet, and homeowners are stuck waiting days for a number.
What the Shower Quoting Tool Covers
See It in Action
“Replace existing shower — demo, re-waterproof, tile 4sqm walls + 1.2sqm floor, supply and install 1200mm frameless screen and chrome rail mixer.”
A complete itemised shower quote — demolition, waste removal, AS 3740 waterproofing, screed and fall, tile supply with 10% waste, adhesive and grout, frameless screen with hinges and channels, chrome mixer and rose, plumbing connection, labour, GST, and a branded PDF ready to send. Typical shower quotes range from $3,500 – $12,000.
What a Shower Quote Should Include (and What It Costs)
A complete shower replacement quote in Australia has six blocks. Demolition and waste removal runs $400–$800 with skip or trailer fees. Waterproofing a standard 900×900 recess to AS 3740 (primer, bond breakers, two-coat membrane and flood test) sits around $500–$800 including the second visit for cure time. Screed and fall to drain adds $250–$450. Tile supply and lay is where quotes swing most: wall tiling runs $60–$90 per square metre laid plus tile cost, and a 4sqm shower needs 10% waste on a straight lay or 15% on herringbone. A frameless screen supplied and installed is $1,200–$2,500 depending on glass thickness and hinge hardware; semi-frameless drops that by roughly a third. Tapware and fit-off (mixer, rail, rose and waste) finishes at $300–$900 depending on brand. Put every block on the quote as its own line. A single “shower replacement: $8,500” number invites haggling; an itemised quote answers the questions before they're asked.
Where Shower Quotes Lose Money
Three misses cause most of the margin loss on shower work. First, the membrane cure: waterproofing needs 24–48 hours before tiling, which means a second site visit that rarely makes it onto the quote as travel and setup time. Second, tile waste on pattern lays: quoting herringbone or stack-bond at the straight-lay waste rate silently gives away a box of tiles per job. Third, the screen remeasure: frameless glass is cut to the tiled opening, not the framed one, so the glazier's final measure happens after tiling and any out-of-square walls become custom cuts. A shower quoting tool that itemises the job from a plain-English description catches these because the line items are already in the list — you delete what doesn't apply instead of remembering what does.
