Which would get you a reputation as a rip-off merchant.

Is correct. Unless you overquote on all jobs, so losing work, and give a
refund if it takes less time than expected.

Any attempt to increase the price once an estimate or quote has been
accepted by the client is not a good idea. On the other hand, on
occasions where I've been asked for less than the quote, I've been
pleased, and so am more likely to use that tradesman again.
