It cost me rm970 for this small toilet.. and I can get it at rm800 if the epoxy is just of a single color.. This price is for toilet below 30sqft. It's been 2 months now, and I still dont see any leaking.. Phewwww.. what a relief.. Looking from far away, the pattern looks nice, but when looking closer, it's farrrr from perfect. Not as beautiful as the one I saw in a hotel.. The lines/pattern boundary are blurry ... lots of color.. how do i say it, color bleeding? something like that..

so what did you do on the toilet actually other than changing tiles?

I'm not changing tile! I'm putting epoxy coating on the floor.. It's like you spread a glue (epoxy coating) all over the floor (no tile removal), then sprinkle a colorful flake on it, then finish it off by spreading a last layer of clear epoxy coating above it..

So far got no more leaking? U satisfied with the solution n workmanship?
Im planning to do epoxy flake coating also but need to find trusted installer first.

Yeah. No more leaking. I am satisfied. About workmanship, I mentioned in earlier post, it looks beautiful from afar, but at closer look, i think they can do it better.

I just took 1 picture.. this is the early process, after sanding the tile. Marking & masking according to required shape/pattern. Then, applied a glue (epoxy) on selected part, then, sprinkle a whitish flake. Wait till dry. Then, re-adjust the masking tape and apply glue on another part followed by sprinkling a purple flake.. (just like how to paint a car with multiple color that requires lots of masking tape).

but color change to purple and got new grey pattern. those are the epoxy or the flakes?

the epoxy not slippery?

u got put epoxy few inch on the wall above the floor?
*
Yes..those colors are a flake, that looks like a flour/sand to me, and they also applied on the bottom part of the wall too ... The floor surface is not smooth actually, so, it is not slippery. They can make a smooth surface, if it is for table top application.

Interesting, didnt realize such a product/solution exist! thanks for sharing.

Did you DIY or hired a contractor.

I just goggled and found pretty straight forward in application, but a little pricey, i think?

I just hired someone after I search on fb/mudah/lelong. Keyword I use was "epoxy+flake+toilet". In theory, it looks easy, but when I saw them do it, the first thing they did was sanding the tile to remove the slipperiness of the tiles. It looks tiring to me. Anyway. from youtube, I agree it looks easy to DIY especially if using just 1 flake color.

Mine is below 30sqft... Anything 30sqrft or smaller, the price still the same. That's the min price..
