Or try it on the web →This kitchen splashback quote template is for Australian glaziers pricing up jobs for residential renos and new builds. It suits standard toughened glass installations in kitchens, laundries, and butler's pantries. Most quotes go wrong in two places: forgetting to charge per-item for GPO and switch cutouts, and not factoring in the extra labour for out-of-square walls. Getting these details right from the start protects your margin on the whole job. A clear, itemised quote prevents arguments with the builder or homeowner later, ensuring you get paid without hassle for the work you've actually done.
Pricing Toughened Glass, Cutouts, and Labour
Your biggest cost is the glass itself. Price 6mm toughened Starphire or similar low-iron glass at around $350-$500 per square metre, supplied from your processor. Don't forget to add a per-item charge for cutouts; a standard double GPO cutout is about $60-$80. Labour for a straightforward splashback should be 3-4 hours for two glaziers, covering the site measure and the final installation. At $110/hour per person, that’s $660-$880 in labour. Add costs for consumables like high-grade neutral cure silicone, such as Bostik V60 from Bunnings Trade. Using a quoting app like QuoteMate helps you build these line items fast so nothing gets missed.
What Glaziers Forget on a Splashback Quote
Leaving items off the quote is leaving money on the table. Always include a line item for polished edges, typically charged per lineal metre. Specify the paint finish; a 2-pack polyurethane colour backing costs more than standard vinyl and should be quoted accordingly. If you have to remove an old tile splashback, charge for the labour and tip fees. Difficult site access, like a 10th-floor apartment with no lift, requires its own line item for the extra time. Finally, make sure your installation complies with AS 1288-2006 for glass in buildings, especially regarding clearances for gas cooktops. This standard is not optional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Metallic and pearlescent finishes require more expensive pigments and extra prep work. You should add 20-30% to your normal colour-backing price. Quote it as a separate line item so the client sees the value. Always get a sample approved before ordering the glass, as metallic colours can look different under kitchen lighting.
Yes. The glass must be Grade A toughened safety glass, usually 6mm, compliant with AS/NZS 2208. It also needs to meet the clearance requirements specified by the cooktop manufacturer, which is often detailed in their installation manual. Failure to meet these specs can cause the glass to crack from thermal stress and is a major compliance issue.
You should factor the cost of one site visit for a check measure into your labour total. If a client, builder, or cabinet maker makes changes after you’ve measured, you are justified in charging a call-out fee for a second measure. This covers your time and travel, which can easily be $150-$200.
