I changed my house door and since they changed the frame, a few tiles need to be broken as well...

Now I need to tile it back... I have the tile... I need a Tile Cutter and something to stick the tile to the floor....

Any idea how much a tile cutter cost?
And what is it that I need to paste the Tile to the floor?

Thanks.

Tile cutter cost from RM 150 above and it come with sizes which depend to the size of the tiles.

You can go youtube check how they cut the tiles, but may not be easy if you dun have the experiances.

yup...i need a tile cutter too...anyone had any contractor for doing tile cut...??? my quantity around 24pcs......urgent need.....thx....if someone can help

Hi,

I am being quoted rm3.80/sqft for 800mm x 800mm? Is that reasonable?

And how big is the area for 1 bag of cement for tiling?

Thanks.

actually if you wan cut a straight line u can just get a tile scorer its like a pen with carbite/diamond tip

its cheaper than actually getting a proper tile cutter since u need to cut a few pieces only...

refer to youtube and the proper method to break the tile once you have scored the lines

Tile cutter (the one look like old-style typewritter one.. manual type, pull then press down to cut) can only used to cut tiles 2 inches or more.. longer than that, you will realize the tiles keep breaking.

So to cut smaller tile, you need to use the machine cutter, use electric one. Cut also need to be extra careful.

To paste the tiles, you need cement, sand, tile grout and water. You can paste and cut them yourselves but they will probably look like crap if you have absolutely zero experience. Tiling is not as easy as it seems. In terms of difficulty, it is labeled as 'Advanced'.

or u can get those ready mix tile adhesive glue that they are selling now days that comes in a caulking bottle form

My tiler quoted me RM5/sqft exclude tiles....for all sizes of tiles...not sure if that including those bigger than 2X2...is this reasonable?

Hi! can you PM me the contractor number.

Thanks.

Is it chinese worker?



Also, my contractor told me the sand+cement floor is charge differently. Is this true?

How handy are you??? LOL..My brother did his small bathroom with travertine and it wasn't hard to do..Are you just laying floor or is there walls involved???

if remove old tiles n replace new one will have extra charge? cox hav to take out the toilet bowl n washbasin ..pm pls

Anybody able to share latest price for hacking and replace back new tiles excluding tiles? I got a quote with RM6 for living room and RM9 for car porch. Any cheaper tiler?
I am doing some renovation job at the same time.

for maincon, should be around rm5-6 ..
depend on the worker and the quality and location.
for car porch, maybe the contractor lay new layer concrete for you if you current floor don have concrete ...
where is your location ?

my car porch with tiles is RM9.5-RM10 psf as they need to dig a bit for levelling, and put sand and concrete layer, before putting the tiles

RM5+ psf for labour without tiles, sand, cement
