Hi, I need some advice on bathroom renovation.

I've been given a quotation:
"To dismantle and fix new tiles for 5 1/2 x 9' bathroom - RM4,100"
"To dismantle and fix new tiles for 112" x 51" bathroom - RM4,300"

I know, it's very vague right? I don't even know if this includes the price of the tiles, or am I too naive to think that it does? I'm totally clueless when it comes to this, so please bear with me. If I want to redo my wall and floor tiles, is it normal for the contractor to quote me ONLY the labour charges (hacking, cement, laying new tiles..), and is this RM4,100 and RM4,300 the labour charges, or do you think this includes the new tiles?

I got this quotation from the contractor through an ID (who emailed it to me), and I've not gotten a reply from her about my above queries yet. Just wanted to some advice from people who are well-versed in this.

I would also like to obtain some recommendations on good bathroom contractors from you guys who've been through this (and survived haha!).. I need another quotation to make a comparison with this one that I got. Or... how many quotations does one need actually huh? Please drop me a note. Thanks. - Kel.

Jo_da, he provided the floor plan for bathroom only. you forgot the wall area x 4.

let say wall height is 9' as well. total wall = 5.5x9x2 + 9x9x2 = 99 + 162 + floor 49.5 = 310.5/4100 = RM13++/sqf.

and normally contractor will top up cost for dismantle the WC, Basin, concrete table top.....

It includes walls, that's right. Also, I've learnt that the price includes tiles too, which I've selected from a Guocera catalogue, and the contractor has purchased based on the tile code nos. I've given him. Labour charges include dismantling and re-installing WC, basin and miscellaneous stuff like mirror, towel holder. I was assured that waterproofing is included too. So, it might not be cheap, but judging from the replies I've gotten here, I figure it is not unreasonable either. If the quality of work is good, I'm fine with it. Work starts on Monday. Fingers crossed all goes well smile.gif

Sorry I mean, the quoted price includes dismantling and re-installing. I have no idea how much is the labour charges, since the price includes tiles.
