Is 4,100 considered cheap? Wah then my one only cost RM1.3k, include hack and retile, change basin and toiletbowl, and do copper piping is like super cheap woh.. (prices not include materials)


Added on August 12, 2011, 5:29 pmby the way, got one contractor even better. He told me no need to do water proofing. I was like 'WHAT REALLY?'

he said if cement break means leak. water proof also no use. If cement no break, that means no leak. So water proofing is actually useless.

Professionals out there..is that right????

as absurd as it sounds, it could be true.
try digging when did waterproofing came about or was invented. many many moons ago, there was no such product to begin with. it realied heavily on the concrete. that is why we have water retaining structures.
when waterproofing came along, somehow it gave more options for openings and holes in the wall, floor, blah blah blah. or was it vice versa.
but knowing today's standards and workmanship, quite likely waterproofing is a necessity.
the house that i'm about to renovate, the leakage was so bad that the soffit of the slab has stained so bad that concrete is literally falling off and exposing the rebars.

the only grouse i have with niro is it's not homogenoues.
if chipped or broken, can see the white base. will be very obvious.
it's usually thicker than other tiles.

now i'm seriously considering mml tiles since its homogenous.

bernard, good price. where you buy?
