I have no idea on current rate but I'd say it is definitely expensive if it is just for tiling job

Hi all

Saw the above posts in previous pages, and my first time posting in this thread.

So I want to re-do an existing room

Floor 3m x 2.4m
Wall 2.5m height

I found a super good contractor and I like his work so far. Not cincai and very neat/tidy.

RM3500-3800 a good/fair price for all-in ?

- Some minor floor hacking required (Basically just carpet over concrete now)
- Painting walls
- Plaster ceiling
- Screeding
- Tiles provided (not China ones according to my contractor)
- Re-do any necessary wiring and install downlights ( I buy this my own )

ya i kinda feel it's quite high also

anyone got some recent tiling pricing to share? at least i can have some basis to nego with the contractor

Dear all sifu, what can be done on the below to cover the tiles edges and prevent water from water sipping? I do not intend to do retiling.

Use silicone sealant.

Remove as much possible the grout cement b4 injecting the silicone

Another method is using tile transparent protecting ccrylic coating.

Wall with waterproofing without tiles 272 x RM35 = 9520
Floor with waterproofing without tiles 58 x RM25 = 1450

Mine is worse

anyone use tiles on top of concrete kitchen top? does the grouting annoys you?

my contractor recommended me this instead of quartz top for wet kitchen to save some money

Is nice to havd a seamless piece.

But for tiles ......

Pro

1. Cheap
2. Can replace individual piece, if cracked

Cons ...

1 Cleaning the grout
2. Poor workmanship can csuse tiles to dislodge.

that's what i worry too. i could have go for darker tiles for easier maintenance but will make the kitchen looks dark

my cement kitchen top' tile work is not really looking good , literally look harsh with the grouting





i didnt put on the color grout

That is sucks 😔

yeah i know,
and also please have a GGOOOOOOD conversation bout the height of kichen top!!
the reno guy misunderstanding the height difference between kitchen basin and the cooktop place, (initially the height we discussed was before shifting the basin and the cooktop ) and after we changed our mind cause we have to redo the kitchen top due to cracking , the guys didint shift both place , and basin and cooktop ended up to a similar height , more suck!

i think i rather pay more for quartz top than the ugly tiles with grouting

we were tight on budget mah after spending house reno and termite thingy, in the first place we never thinking of changing the tile, because the reno guys crack the kitchen top during small reno, thats why la ,
but then, after placing all the cookware and essentials, it wouldnt be that ugly anymore.
even it is ugly but i will make sure it is always clean and clear, problem solved

you siap reno mah？ show us the pic pls

belum la. still in designing phase. thinking to top up few thousands to stick with quartz top

really not satisfied the slowness of ID

my wet kitchen with tiles top should be something like this but in L shape.

What is the recommended tiles for backsplash in cooker/hob area? Porcelain, Ceramic, Homogeneous? Gloss finish I suppose for easy cleaning. Large size - 2ft x 2ft or bigger to minimize grout lines compared to small size?

Anyone has any idea how to find these tiles .. was given code as
