Hi, I need some advice on bathroom renovation.

I've been given a quotation:
"To dismantle and fix new tiles for 5 1/2 x 9' bathroom - RM4,100"
"To dismantle and fix new tiles for 112" x 51" bathroom - RM4,300"


*
Are you typo error kah?

"To dismantle and fix new tiles for 5 1/2 x 9' bathroom - RM4,100" , it means 5.5 * 9 = 49.5 / 4100 = RM82@sqf?
"To dismantle and fix new tiles for 112" x 51" bathroom - RM4,300", it means 9.3F (112") * 4.25F (51") =40 / 4300 = RM100@sqf?

You must be kidding with the price, if RM10@sqf it alreayd super high, your like SUPER SUPER high.

1) Are you start at Apartment or Landed property?
2) is the toilet at 1st floor or Gnd floor ( if you stay at lander property)
3) Are you having any leaking at this point?
4) Your dismantle only floor tiles or wall tile inclusive?'
5) any other thing ? Basin / WC move?

Normal hacking on floor so far I been quote are RM 6.50 (excluding tiles and Susu). So either you provide wrong info, or you are a Big Water Fish...

Hi WRB7878

Well, i'm extending the backyard to have bigger kitchen, hence i'll be getting new flooring, so the contractor just charge me for the labor cos i didn't want his package (1'x1' tile) of RM1960 covering 312 sqf.

For 2x2 tile for the floor from White Horse LOOS Series HD66002 or HD66004, last quoted was $29.80 per pc  hmm.gif excl 5% discount.

For 1x2 tile for wall from White Horse Alsenia Series H63625, last was $8.90 per pc excl 5% discount.
Do you know of anyone selling this with better discount? Perhaps i'll survey NIRO around Klang tomorrow

You already have your selection of tiles and with code, why not just pick the phone up or visit more place and ask for the price, than you will know where to get more cheaper. I just take the code and walk into more than 5 shops, than see which shop are ready stock (sure not all), than ask them to offer better price, if good price will get all from them.
Hence I indirect save cost up and they even give me privileage to call them for order and they just deliver to my place without need to pay up front first, and FOC deliever as long more than RM50.

Just onething need to keep in mind, get from reliable shop not cheap place to prevent given you reject or 2nd grade.

i bought 1 house (flat) with 750 sqf.
with currently living n dining floor got tiles and 3 bedrooms with parquet.

asked few contractors ,but only 2 replied :

1st contractor - they need to see the site first before decide whole price even though i already give them plan.

2nd contractor - got 2 options

a) new tiles (2x2) and repair parquet

total cost RM 5670:
mobilization cost : 1400 (2 weeks = 14 days)
demolishing/removing 1280
floor finished (including 2x2 tiles) : 2600
b) new tiles (2x2) and new laminated timber floor
total cost : RM 7366
mobilization cost : 1400 ( 2 weeks = 14 days)
demolishing/removing including : remove parquet = RM256  &  demolished old tile = 390
floor finished  : (tiles 2x2) = 2600  (laminated timber floor) = 2720
mobilization cost : Transportation cost, rentals of machineries,delivery of materials charged by supplier, temporary works & dustbin.
is it reasonable price for tile renovation especially in mobilization cost & time frame
*
Not really clear about your situation
1) Are you please to change the whole house tiles (750sf) or only the 3 bedrooms (what the sf)?
2) the contractor quote base on whole house (750sf) or only some space?
3) Is Skirting been covered too?
4) why you option B are cheaper than option A on the Demolishing / removing? Are those said thing?

Mobilization cost? Perhaps only Dustbin, the rest it is the contractors cost. Why you need to pay rental pf machine and delivery of materials? Because normally if puchase through hardware shop (cerement / sand...) or tiles (tile shop) once your about a treshold than the shop will deliver FOC or will charge RM20-50 (normally the contractor will pick up themself is only small number)

Maybe good to get another contractor to quote too.

Looking at the plan and assuming your Kitchen will not touch
11 x (11+10) = 231 sf
Assuming walkwall (3x9) + door entire (3x3) = 18+ 9 = 27
Total tile 231+27 = 358 (make it ease we count as 360sf)

360sf x 4.50 (tiling without hacking) = 1620
Tiles 360 / 4(2x2 tile) = 90 pcs x RM10@ = RM 900
Total 1620+900 = RM 2520

Hence base on above exemption, it sound reasonable for RM 2700 but then few items you need to check

1) What the max allow tile price you allow to purchase? Maybe he only give RM7, more than that you need to pay extra
2) How about skirting, or how much will be charge? (I'm been charged RM3@f)
3) How much he charge if your buy tiles (as suggested by lhsmedphy and what I do during my renovation) and the contractor supply labour

I still don't understand why the mobilization cost is so high

* Sorry, cant advise on parquet.

confirmed with my developer Paramount
we can write to request (subject to mgt approval) them not to lay tiles in certain areas (eg, kitchen, toilet), or not to do tiles skirting (coz mebbe u wanna go for laminated flooring later)
however they wont return u the tiles & oso wont giv any discount on house price (some other developers do giv discount)
but u still save the cost of hacking anyway unsure.gif

THis already a good arrangment lol. Hacking the tile with cost additiona RM1@sf (minimum)...but you need to make sure that may the ground work proper laying (water level) and can ready for tiles work

Is it a good idea to buy from the main showroom since they are supposedly the HQ (main source). Will the price diffrence be significant?

Been to a few Major Tiles showroom

Feruni in Jalan 213, Petaling Jaya

Guocera in Wisma Kemajuan, Petaling Jaya

MML in Jalan 215, Petaling Jaya

White Horse in Ceramic World, Selayang

Niro Granite - Jalan Penchala, Petaling Jaya.
*
Not really, the list of showroom are actually there HQ managed show room except Niro, where the HQ actually on Sec 13 (Not sure about Feruni)
The price can't be lower as they worry will be complaine by dealer...at if everyone go HQ show room must well those small shop close lot...

I went to Super Ceramic shop today and there is a promotion for grade 1, 2x2 polished porcelain tile at RM9.90 per piece, made in China of course.  Don't know whether to believe it's 1st grade or not.  What other questions should I be asking?

Do people put 1'x1' tile on wall?  Is it common?
*
1x1 for wall? The question should be is for Wall or Floor? Because where your tiles will be install is what tiles you need to purchase.\

You may want to check with the PJ office if you have the code, than they may able to identified when or similar type of tiles you could use...
Normally after few years those tiles will be gone from market.
