Unfortunately nobody can answer this.

The price is your time + materials + profit.

Only you know what your overhead recovery per hour is.

Watch out! sounds like in there mind its a hard floor = easy  'we'll just get the guy who's doing the carpet to do this floor bit of a mop and bucket job hardly cost anything' Could get your fingers burned.

Do not do a job like this without doing a test area!!!  It could be sealed with Yacht Varnish you have no idea
