According to source,
the susu only suitable to stick between cement sand and tiles,
u provide ur own susu the contractor can just take the susu balik minum
I think 2x2 tiles also use susu, the problem is 2x2 tiles too heavy (i weight it before, bout 7.1KG per piece), not suitable for wall.
use 2x1 tiles for wall now, quite popular.
Wall tiles not so easy to popup if u do it until ceiling, if u do half height or half width, it will be easily popup if workmanship not good, because the wind goes into the back of the tiles.

Floor also got susu, if not might popup up also one.
but most important dun masuk wind inside the back of the tiles.

But mostly popup one is tiles on the wall.

still correct mixture.
Just like ur coffee, too much of coffee or too much of susu, the taste wont be good.

Don't have excel.
I just roughly calculate because i check with a few contractor before.

Hacking 1sq of tiles = RM1.1 (indon)
Workmanship to lay 1sq of tiles = RM2.2-2.5 (sifu)
Material for 1 sq (cement + susu) = RM2+-

Tiles price local:
25cmx33cm = RM2.0-3.0
1x2ft = RM5.5-RM7.5
2x2ft = RM12-22 (very outdated no more production tiles can be RM12-15, standard on-going production tiles RM17-22, expensive luxury tiles like wood-pattern, 3d etc, can goes up to RM30 per piece)

All above depends on season, workmanship, location of ur renovation, size of the renovation (small area expensive psf, more bigger area cheaper psf).

Some contractor might have very cheap hacking tiles worker, but charge expensive on tiling, or earn from tiles price, or see ur water fish face then charge higher.

The price also might be increase since after our love jib jib up the petrol.

how big the sq and what tiles size pls?

About 280 SQ total.
So RM5.5 x 280 = RM1540.
10" x 13" = About 0.90 SQ (Assume to be 1 SQ).
So 280SQ * Rm2.5 tiles = RM700

TOTAL estimation = RM1540 (workmanship, cement, susu, hacking old tiles) + RM700 (tiles) = RM2240
So now he charge you RM3444, he will be earning 50% extra.
But I think you still can ask for some discount.

Below is my quotation last year March 2013 (My bath room exactly 7ft depth x 4.5 ft width x 9 ft height)



Probably the price already increase rapidly this year, but you can get a few quotation to compare.

I just roughly calculate based on what I know.

What is the size of ur area.
Personally I find it a bit overpriced.

1. hacking old tiles = RM1-1.2
2. labour + material excluding tiles = RM4.5-5.5

Don't look down at RM1.
each one sq Rm1, 1000 sq become Rm1000 addition liao.. you can spend the extra 1K to buy 1 aircon liao.

he can do anythg.
FULLBEST Construction & Renovation (1105765-M) - Alan 012-2250566 - Tell him introduced by Mah

Should be parquet floor? easy to hack away.

The price could be same when you asking ppl to cart-away them and lay new tiles on it.
just let ppl to do the job.

Ground floor don't need, waste of money only.
But make sure pipe redo again because old pipe might leaked or burst anytime after hacking.
water closet look for 10-12 inches, if possible one-piece so easy to wash.
your toilet bout same like my one previously.

Suggest you change wall tiles also, or else difficult to match the color and pattern.
Hacking wise might also hack tio ur existing wall tiles... so u should change one shot instead.
Estimate 4K for ur bathroom (4 side wall tiles to till ceiling + floor tiles + workmanship + material + NO waterproofing).
excluding water closet stuff.

Relocation pipe mostly cost RM400-500 for ur case if u r moving water closet, outlet pipe, etc.

Never use white color tiles unless you have a maid clean it daily.
I am using white horse 2x2 Versare series (old series la no money buy new series).
https://www.dropbox.com/s/rcvzz1ysr0f36rj/IMG_2751.JPG?dl=0

for the grout, i am using ivory color.

If you still want to use white color tiles, white grout the better choice my point of view.

RM10 Include material and tiles and workmanship?

OK. then.

Wah nice.
i will use light chocolate.

I think too exp.
Rm6-7 my contractor do for me.

the 2x2 tile is bout Rm17 per piece.

This is 1x2 feet is it? not 2x6 i think.
