GodsLove, it's really hard to comment on the pricing, as there are just too many quality/type/halfbody/grade etc tiles. a 2x2 could be as cheap as rm 7++ to rm80pcs for 2x2.

That's the problem..I visitted SUPER CERAMIC yesterday and also Homedec..the price can be hugely different but yet the cheap one are from Guocera...i'm now a little confused. Hope someone can shed some light...

Bigger pieces are more costly. Even installation is also more expensive for 2x2. E.g. my contractor quote me RM 4.8 /sqft for all material except tiles to install a 2x2. and RM 1 less for smaller tiles. This is already consider cheap because its part of the renovation bundle. And the sifu is a very experience Chinese uncle.

But I think Feruni is difference, you can ask them cut into smaller tiles and that will need make the smaller tiles more expensive.

01) Grade A vs Grade B
02) Color fade, so downgrade to Grade B
03) Over production
04) Left over from project
05) Common
06) Outdated
07) Reject.

Thanks guys for the explanation..any idea how i can make sure the tiles i'm getting are of good grades and material other then the price indication? And anyone has a good contractor to recommend for Tile and plumbing work? Thanks in advance..

Most of the shop i go will inform me if its Grade 1 or 2 (A/B).

I don't know about other I survey a number of tiles shop. Last I went to Super Ceramic @ 222 to purchase most of my tiles except kitchen floor tiles. So far find the service is reasonable. Price is also reasonable.

may i know wat is the reasonable workmanship price for tiling?? thx...

i want to extend my new house n find tiles similar to the existing tile with the tiles code given by the developer...

so joining the existing one to new one should be quite ok right?

Even if you have the tile code, you may not be able to get the exact tile. Reason is that the tile used by the developer might not in production anymore. Another problem is that there could be some colour variation if you managed to get them. So, just be prepared for this. Then you should be OK.

Could sifu's here let me know what they think of the quote for tiling i got pls. Note that tilers are Chinamen.

1. Floor & Porch Tiling using 2ft X 2ft tiles 2728sq ft X RM7.5 psf RM 21,800.00,
or labour + materials n excluding tiles RM4.50 for 2ftx2ft
2. Toilet Tiling 12” X 12” tiles X 2 toilet (size 8ftx6ftx8ft height) RM 2,400.00
3. Kitchen top & Wall Tiling 12” X 12” tiles . RM2000

Also, can i know what is the rate to lay tiles excluding tiles for 1ftx2ft tiles and 1ftx1ft tiles?

Thanks in advance.

This are just tilling work right? or they include plumbing job i.e installing WC and basin?

i have three toilets which is about 4.5ft x 8.3 ft x 9.3 ft thereabouts and each toilet including plumbing job, tilling work (both floor and wall), installation of WC and water basin (excluding tiles,basin and WC) for RM2900 each toilet. What you guys think?

those are just labour for the tiling work only. The installation of WC and basin will be done by the plumber, which is charged differently

What's your take on the pricing i stated which includes plumbing and installation?

What is the extend of your work? hacking & remove existing wall & floor tiles? Who supply the tiles?
It this a landed property or apartment? There could be additional cost to remove the debris for apartments as compared to landed property.
What's the plumbing work involve? Replace all the existing piping? Any new copper piping for hot water? Or just replacing the sanitary fittings only?

What you can do is to work out the wall and floor tiling areas. Then used the rates provided earlier by another LYN member. This would give you an rough indication.

Tq for ya reply.
Looks like the price i got quoted is fine. Since im a noob and maybe make my life easier, do you think the RM7.5 lump sum is fair?

for porch, u hav2 check, does it include hacking/laying BRC net/ cement price too?

others= include hacking & disposing rubbish?

The work includes the following:

Hacking and removing all tiles and pipes.
Water proofing
Tiling Job
Installation of new pipes (no copper piping)
Installation of WC and basins
All tiles, WC and basins is provided by me
Including removal of debris

Landed property.

Any other work should be included when it comes to bathroom tiling and plumbing work?

Err... My floors was hacked. Now going for tiles.
The prices shared here does it include cement floor leveling??

Any ideas what is the cost for this.
Floor:-
1.Cement levelling
2.Tiling workmanship
3.Material + susu

Wall
1.Skimming
2.Tiling workmanship
3.Material + susu

Car porch does not include BRC it seems. Price includes hacking but not dispose rubbish. What you reckon? Im a noob so Im afraid there may be things that I could miss. Appreciate yours or anyone's opinion. Txs much.

Better to have BRC if you are making a new car porch floor. No point trying to save on this.
Not dispose rubbish. Does it mean that you will provide the tong sampah for the contractor?
