Some customers get put off by an hourly price, some don't, so it may be a safe bet to take the unit price, what you need to cover the operating costs, fair profit and overhead. Look at the job carefully, allot a safe number on the time, multiply by your unit price, the "rate" if you will and give em a lump sum price.
