    Why didn't the tiler grout? can't charge per mt, depends on the size of the tile as to how many grout lines there are. Do you know the customer? you don't want your first (?) job to give you grief. Not experienced in epoxy myself but would be wary on a job this size early in your career

    Well a least it sounds like it doesn't have to look as good as a normal job, give yourself three days (complete guess on my part) and see if it's worth doing the others. make sure customer supplies grout or pay as you use it , because it will be expensive if you miscount!
