Just want to know how to calculate.  biggrin.gif

To lay 1sq tiles about RM4.2-Rm5.5, and then the price not include tiles price but include material price.
Ur case summore need to trim the hacked tiles properly on each side of the current tiles, which is a lot of work.
and he also have to replace any accidentally cracked tiles.
Personally I think Rm1.2K is reasonable but maybe on the high side.

Guys, can help me take a look at the price?
From the general replies here I get the feeling that tiling incl everything should be around RM8~9/sqft, yes? I counted my quotation and is around RM11.40/sqft.
Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks.
To supply labour to demolish existing floor tile at wet kitchen and dry kitchen. Total 171 sqft.      RM420
To supply & install 1'x2' floor tiles at wet kitchen and dry kitchen. Total 171 sqft. (tile price<RM2.50/sqft)      RM1540

To supply labour to demolish existing wall tile at wet kitchen and dry kitchen. Total 485 sqft.       RM1200
To supply & install 1'x2' wall tiles at wet kitchen and dry kitchen. Total 485 sqft. (tile price<RM2.50/sqft)       RM4365

To summarize, total 656 sqft, RM7525

Thankyou very much
*
Cement + SUSU + Workmanship bout RM4.2-5.5.

At this price, local Chinese laying the tiles or Indons laying them?
What about demolish timber skirting and install new tile skirting per ft?
*
chinese.
no idea bout timber skirting.
Hacking old tiles is bout Rm1.1 per sq by indo.
so i guess cart away timber is easier than tiles?

dang, my contractor quoted me rm12 psf for removing parquet and replacing with 2x2 tiles, not include tiles,

feel like banging myself to the wall. so stressed
*
removing parquet i guess bout RM1.1-1.5 per sq.
lay cement and lay tiles with susu (include cement and susu and workmanship) bout RM5.5 per sq.
so RM12 is over.

how big the area first.

Sometimes the price cheap doesnt mean the quality not good.

if got promotion , like feruni , venus and others

the price normally cheap 30-40%
*
Agreed with you.
White Horse tiles normal 2x2 bout RM22-23.
Promotion price then is RM16-17.

Now lot of competition, if didnt setup promotion hardly to hit sales target already.

Hi guys, I'm planning to redo my front porch flooring. I visited one shop which sells Guocera.
The model (galaxy porcelain - rough type) looks fine and price is RM6.50 per piece for 2"x1".

http://www.guocera.com.my/catalogue/catalo...dex.html#page/6

Is it reasonable? For porch, most of my neighbours are using 2"x2". What is the trend now really, 2x2 or 2x1 is preferred or up to individual?

Thanks.
*
2 feet x 1 feet = RM6.50 is reasonable.
even white horse one also need cost RM7.00 already.
take porcelain tiles, and pick up some non-slippery model k.

You can use 2x2 too but i think put 2x1 in horizontal way will make ur car porch looks wider.

Hi,

I intend to tile up my whole porch, roughly 650 sq ft, can anyone advise me how much it will cost using heavy duty tiles + workmanship. Not sure if any contractor wants to do small job, but would appreciate any recommendation. Photo attached. Thanks.
*
my main contractor did this with:
1. Cut away existing bricks, tiles, cement.
2. Lay steel sheet.
3. cement it.
4. put susu and provide tiles (1x2 feet) RM7-7.5 per piece (white horse non slippery type can choose)
5. Skirting also.

Official Quotation written like below:
To down grade existing grass ground, demolish floor tiles and cart away.
Construct R.C concrete floor ( BRC #A8 ) c/w cement rendering and lay with new floor tiles and skirting.

my one 22feet x 20 feet probably, RM7.3K Last year mid May 2013 price.
Now the pricing could be up thanks to jib jib.

Wanna check with all expert here.
I receive quotation for bathroom 7'x4'x10' is rm3444.
This is include tile. Tile price is about rm2.5/pc.tile size is 13"x10"
How do you all think whether installation cost is ok or not?
*
i think is 25cm x 33cm tiles. Rm2.5 per piece make sense.
Yes, if include hacking existing tiles, and tiles do till top then is reasonable price.
Include waterproofing?
Include installation of basin, tap etc?

Hi Guys, a newbie here. Greetings to all...

Thank you all for all the valuable information.

I'm in the midst of planning my home reno with lots of tiling works in the pipeline.

Have contacted Mr.Shawn & Mr.Alan, whose contact was provided in this thread and both was commended for their work.

My tiler quoted me rm25k for my masterbedroom bathroom.....measurement l=14ft x w=13ft x h=10ft.....
which gave me quite a shock....but he said inclusive of tiles.

Anyway, will update further after both these guys viewing.

Cheers....!!

Ur bathroom is super big
total : 1820 FT assuming u expect ur bathroom tiles wall to ceiling.

Hacking existing tiles + Material (cement and susu) + workmanship for tiling = RM5.5 per sq
1 x 2 ft tiles is bout RM7

So = (RM5.5 x 1820ft) = 10010
1820 FT / 2 x RM7 tiles = 6370

Doesnt the price include water proofing, installation, basin, tap, mirror, cooper pipe, solar?

Hi all,

The more "susu" better ? Or should still be a balance of sand + cement + susu ?
*
cement is the balance the floor, when balancing the floor cement will mix with sand.
susu is between cement and tiles, more sticky and smoother (no mix with sand).

Susu price i think bout the same like cement but come in smaller pack if not mistaken.
