Estimate total**$2,133.80** [Preview]() ## What to include on a plumbing estimate Beyond the basics — your details, the customer, a unique number and the date — these are the lines plumbers get asked about. Sample estimate lines - 50 gal gas water heater, 40,000 BTU1 × $1150.00 - Expansion tank, venting and gas connector kit1 × $210.00 - Installation labor (hours)4 × $125.00 - Haul-away of old water heater1 × $75.00 - Permit fee1 × $90.00 Fictional example prices. 1. 1 ### Scope in plain words Describe what you will replace, install or repair, and what you will not touch. 2. 2 ### Assumptions Say what the price assumes — existing lines in good condition, access through an open wall — and how surprises are handled. 3. 3 ### Permit Note whether a permit is needed and include the fee, so it is not a surprise on the invoice. 4. 4 ### Disposal Include haul-away of old fixtures or equipment. 5. 5 ### Validity and payment Give an expiry date and say when payment is due.

Thirty days is common, and shorter when fixture or material prices are moving. Put the date on the estimate so both sides know when it expires. ### What happens if the job turns out bigger than estimated? Stop and get approval before doing extra work. Write the change as a new line or a revised estimate the customer accepts, then invoice what was approved. ### Is this plumbing estimate template free? Yes. The Word, Excel and PDF files download without signing up or giving an email address, and the online generator makes PDFs for free. Replace the sample lines and prices with your own; they are fictional examples, not pricing guidance. ### Can I use this estimate in Bokeping? The downloads are standalone documents.
