Dear all

Please share your experiences and comments here.
Thank you

labour with material excluding tiles RM5 per square ft

if hack existing tiles or parquet flooring .. then additional labour cost

I get the quotation that the labour just lay tiles on floor/wall is RM3.20/ft2 excluded hacking and all material like cement, sand and tiles. Is it reasonable price? the quality also good because the contractor bring me to his project show to me. Please advise too. Thanks

rm 3.2 ok la...

the tiler charge rm 2.8 and he make 0.4 hehe

the price will be ok if the range between RM2 to RM3 per Ft excluding materials. it should be cheaper if more work to be done.

a good quality tiles like white horse should cost around 5.50 to 6 for the 1 x 2 tiles, and guocera much higher around 7. bear in mind make sure the tiles is fully coated, not half to have a longer life.

which area are you planning to lay tiles? whole house or just the parch?

beside tiles, cement, labour to lay, another major cost is tile adhesive cement & latex admixture (SUSU)..

some contractors ... those with better workmanship .. might charge for "Plastering" labour cost for wall tiles

Wow that alot of info I learnt today!
Plan to hack 1st and then not sure
use parquet floor or tiles or don't
know what they called if using small
stone(tiny until look like sand) to lay
on top of the floor.
have to check all sifu's comment first
lo..

Any recommendations on assorted tiles to find in Klang Valley, planning to buy on my own and leverage the contractors to lay the tiles.

labour + material (excluding tiles) cost RM3.5 per square feet.

oh..the tiny stones are called pebbles-wash. normally you see this in resorts...very balinese..
I like that also...and I will do some in my garden corridor. They have different sizes one..I am also doing research on it at the moment.

If done well, they are as good to maintain as cement floor but looks much nicer. And if some part crack or pecah...it can be easily mix apply with cement again..

small stone/ pebble stone actually more expensive

Yup I guess it is
Maybe search for DIY steps to lay also. hehe

I want my car porch to be like this.. how much the the tiler will quote me?


Attached thumbnail(s)

After reading this thread I felt the quotation I got is so expensive!

I have bathroom totalling 350sf floor+walls and the contractor wants to charge me RM2800 for labour + hacking.

That works out to be RM8 psf : (

Although he mentioned that water proofing will be done, still ...

Do you guys have any contractors contact that can do a more reasonable price??

not necessarily the contractor overcharge ... 'koz if they're contractor of good workmanship, they would use enough material to make sure the job is done properly and the outcome meet or above client's expectation ..

I've been looking for a contractor for changing my kitchen wall tiles as well, but only a small portion. Anyone has any good contractor can recommend to me? My area is at seri kembangan.
Thanks!
