spare the headache,  get a contractor to quote the workmanship, for my case  usually rm2-3/sq foot.

measure the kitchen area, buy the tiles yourself  seller might ask if u need skirting, etc, they will add further.
(i bought at jln ipoh, much cheaper from the selayang white horse factory. U can go to selayang factory to get some ideas/design from the display, but take down the tile codes that u r interested, and buy elsewhere cheaper)

u also need to buy the "susu"  to soak the tiles first, apart from tiles cement.

for kitchen area choose the less shiny to prevent slippage, shud water/liquid  splashes onto tiles.

susu? what susu?

usually i see contractor.. soak the tiles in "Water" only.. what susu ?? curious...

another thing why do they soak it in water ?? to make it adhere to the cement better or what ?

yes, because now the cerement is suck...can hard but can't glue. they need addon "Susu" to do the glue work.

How much a pack of "Susu"? Is that RM100 above?

Do people still do broken marble? If yes how much does it cost?

only ceramic tiles need to soak with water before installation, homogeneous/ porcelain tiles no need.

susu = modify polymer admixture to mix with cement/ tile adhesive to gain better bond to tiles

just curious whats the purpose of soaking it in water ??

another thing this "susu" does it have a proper name ??

hi all,

based on what i read in this thread, the price quoted to do re-tiles (hacking existing tile, relay new tiles, material, excluding tiles), the price is approximately RM 6.00/psf.

Is the RM 6.00/psf regardless of size of tiles? Can i check if you have any contact to share?

Many thanks.
