- Above-1500mm height: adds $150-300 (taller glass = more material)

How quote stability works
Real customer concern from KwikGlaze SMS records: “How was the original quote $726 then you randomly send me another quote at $1139?” Quote stability is non-negotiable for KwikGlaze. The policy:
- Phone/SMS rough quote: ballpark estimate based on customer-supplied dimensions. Can change after measure if actual dimensions differ materially.
- Fixed quote after free in-home measure: this is the price you sign. Valid 30 days. Does not change unless scope materially changes (e.g., you decide to upgrade glass thickness or finish post-measure).
- Rare scope-change scenarios: site conditions reveal hidden complexity (Federation 8mm+ out-of-plumb requiring custom-templating; pre-1990s plumbing requiring relocation). We explain ANY change before any work + before re-issuing the quote.
Strata + realtor letterhead requests
For apartment renovations needing strata committee approval, or properties going to market needing pre-sale compliance documentation:
- Strata-format quote: KwikGlaze letterhead with glass spec / hardware spec / install methodology / AS/NZS 2208 compliance documentation. Standard turnaround 1-2 business days after free in-home measure.
- Pre-sale compliance documentation: same turnaround. We can provide retrospective compliance certification on existing KwikGlaze installs at no charge.
Payment options
Real customer SMS: “Can I give you cash in hand?”, yes, and we can usually do a bit cheaper for cash. Specifics:
- Cash, accepted; cash discount available (size depends on job, ask Tony directly)
- EFTPOS / debit card, no surcharge
- Bank transfer (BPAY), no surcharge
- Credit card, small surcharge to cover Stripe fees
- Standard process: 50% deposit on accepted quote, balance on completion
- Cash deposit: transfer to a personal account so the bank fees don't eat into the price

- Quote within 24 hours of measure

Common pricing questions
How much would it cost to install that?+
Frameless shower screens in Sydney start at $900 + GST for a standard 1200×1900 corner with chrome hardware, this is the fixed-price floor for our most-quoted configuration. Larger sizes scale per-metre; custom finishes (matte black / brushed gold / brushed nickel) add 5-10%. The headline price always includes free in-home measure, manufacturing, install, removal of the old screen, and lifetime workmanship warranty. No bait-and-switch.
Does that include the removal/disposal of the old one as well?+
Yes, every KwikGlaze shower screen quote includes removal and disposal of the existing screen. We take it away on install day. Some installers charge $80-150 extra for this; we don't. Same applies to fence retrofits, old fence removal + skip-bin disposal is included unless the existing fence is exceptionally large (40m+).
What about the price for semi frameless?+
Semi-frameless shower screens start at $850 + GST in Sydney, about $200 cheaper than frameless. The framing absorbs out-of-square wall geometry that frameless can't, so for Federation/period homes (Five Dock, Strathfield, Lindfield), semi-frameless is sometimes the smarter call. See our full frameless-vs-semi-frameless guide for which config fits which Sydney bathroom.
How was the original quote $X then a different price now?+
Quote stability is a real concern. KwikGlaze policy: the rough quote we give over phone/SMS based on customer-supplied dimensions is a ballpark; the FIXED quote after our free in-home measure is what you sign. The fixed quote rarely changes after measure, it does in two scenarios: (1) actual dimensions on-site differ materially from what was described (e.g., 1700mm became 2100mm wall-to-wall), or (2) site conditions add custom-templating need (Federation walls 8mm+ out of plumb). Both increase scope and we explain the change before any work.
Can I give you cash in hand?+
Yes, cash, EFTPOS, BPAY bank transfer, or credit card all accepted. Standard process: 50% deposit on accepted quote, balance on completion. If you can pay cash we can usually go a bit cheaper, how much depends on the job size. For cash deposits we ask you to transfer to a personal account so we don't lose margin to bank fees. No surcharge on debit/EFTPOS or BPAY; small surcharge on credit card to cover Stripe fees.
Do you do strata-format quotes for apartment renovations?+
Yes, for apartment renovations needing committee approval, we provide quotes on KwikGlaze letterhead with detailed glass specifications, hardware specifications, install methodology, and AS/NZS 2208 compliance documentation. Standard turnaround for strata-format quote: 1-2 business days after free in-home measure. Pre-sale compliance documentation (for properties going to market) follows same turnaround.
What's NOT included in the headline price I should know about?+
Headline price assumes: chrome hardware (other finishes +5-10%), 10mm clear toughened glass (low-iron premium adds $200-400), standard wall geometry (custom-templating for out-of-plumb walls adds 1 week to timeline but no surcharge), and within-25km of our Greenacre depot (Central Coast / Far Western Sydney installs may carry mobilisation premium). Plumbing relocation if you're moving the shower position is a separate sub-contractor, not included in our quote.
