Due to the improper water proofing done in my toilet, it has caused some leakage to the unit below of the condominium I'm staying. I have received quotation ranging from RM1,100-1,300 to use some chemical injection at the unit below, giving warranty of half a year to one year. May I know whether this price is reasonable? Any other good recommended contractors which can offer a better rate or service?

The quotation was given by the condominium management? Is better to consult them 1st rather than getting 3rd party contractors.

Yes, it's given by the condominium management. I tried asking 3rd party contractor, and they are quoting me higher price.

iceQ, please dont waste ur money on the injection. it doesn't work. u only waste ur time and money and doesn't solve the problem. i should know, me and my upstairs neighbour tried it all before, doesn't work. it only pushes the leakage to another place, and pretty soon u will hv 2-3 place leaking. even worse!!
the only solution is, u ask contractor to come and hack ur tiles up, re-waterproof it, and then tile it back again. that's a permanent solution, and u dont have to worry about it anymore.
it only cost about rm1,500. plus materials, labour and tiles. Get a few contractors in (don't rely on management one only). It is a bit of hassle, but better u hassle now than hassle later.
good luck!

thanks, will try to call later
Added on February 3, 2012, 4:39 pmHi Adele, I do agree on re-waterproof it. I want a contractor which is trushtworthy. This is the 2nd time I'm fixing this toilet leakage. Last time the contractor came, and help me to re-waterproof it. This lasted only for 3 years, now the issues came back again, but the contractor is no longer reachable.
