Overview
Tile and grout cleaning is sold on the grout colour, and the customer keeps the before photo on their phone
Tile and grout cleaning is the trade where the customer can see the difference, square inch by square inch. Twenty years of foot traffic on a kitchen floor turns white grout into something between grey and brown, and no amount of mop-and-bucket work brings it back. The specialist arrives with a hot-water extraction machine designed for tile, alkaline grout-restorative chemistry, a scrub head that reaches into the grout lines, and a sealer that protects the work for the next two to three years. A flat 'tile floor cleaned, $260' quote misses the chemistry, the sealing, and the before-and-after photos the customer will keep on their phone for a year as proof the spend was worth it.
QuoteGenio gives tile and grout specialists a quoting shape that surfaces the technique. Area by square metre with the tile type and grout colour noted, pre-clean acid or alkaline treatment as a named line, hot water extraction labour, grout colour restoration where applicable, sealer with the warranty period named (two-year sealers versus five-year sealers), and a separate line for shower or wet area work because the chemistry differs. Send via WhatsApp from the customer's kitchen or bathroom with before photos in 4K, take a deposit on bigger jobs, and the final invoice attaches the after photos for the customer's records and the next-clean-due reminder.

The problem
The quoting problems most tile Grout Cleaning run into
Quoting is one of the most time-consuming parts of running a tile Grout Cleaning business. The wrong tool makes it worse.
Quotes take too long to write
You end up writing quotes after hours instead of being on the tools or at home. Admin is eating into your day as a tile Grout Cleaning.
Quotes look inconsistent
Without a template, every quote reads differently. Clients comparing multiple tile Grout Cleaning pick whoever looks the most professional, not always the best price.

Avoid these
Common quoting mistakes
These are the quoting mistakes that cost tile Grout Cleaning the most time and money.
Mistake: Quoting per hour instead of per outcome
Better: Customers want a fixed price for 'a clean house'. Quote by job size, not hours, where you can.
Mistake: No supplies and equipment line
Better: Supplies cost real money. Either build them in clearly or list them as their own line.
Mistake: Skipping the access add-on
Better: Multi-storey, restricted parking, no lift — all add time. Add an access surcharge transparently.
Mistake: Vague end-of-tenancy scope
Better: List exactly what's included (oven, fridge, windows, blinds). End-of-tenancy disputes always come from missing scope.
Mistake: No inspection clause
Better: State that the scope is based on the visit. If conditions are different on the day, the price adjusts. Stops eating losses.
Mistake: Forgetting the recurring discount option
Better: Offer 10-15% off for fortnightly or weekly. Easier to win the first job and keep them than to win every job individually.
Mistake: Missing payment-on-completion terms
Better: State payment-on-completion (or 7 days). Cleaners who wait 30 days for a $200 job are leaving money on the floor.
Step by step
How to quote tile Grout Cleaning jobs
Quoting as a tile Grout Cleaning starts with understanding the job scope. Visit the site where possible, take measurements, and note any access issues or complications that could affect time or materials. A quote based on real site conditions is always more accurate than one written from a phone call.
Structure your quote with clear line items. Separate labour from materials and include quantities and rates for each. Clients who can see exactly what they are paying for are more likely to accept, and less likely to negotiate or dispute the final amount.
Set a validity period on every quote. Material prices change, and a quote you sent three months ago may no longer be profitable. A 14 to 30 day validity is standard for most tile Grout Cleaning jobs.
Send the quote as soon as possible after the site visit. The tile Grout Cleaning who responds first with a professional document usually wins the job. Use WhatsApp or email to get it in front of the client while the conversation is still fresh.
