Recently i found there are some water come out from one of my power socket at the dining area and behind the power socket is my bathroom.

A plumber came my house to do the inspection and he say it is the pipe in the wall is leaking and qote me RM2100 for the fix.

He say the fix is involve remove the tile (around four 300mm x 600mm tile), fix the leaking pipe and install back the tile and concreate hacking is required.

Therefore i would like to ask is this price reasonable?

Thank you.

The expertise and the tools don't come cheap.
If you dont care about the tiles, then you can DIY for 1k.

Buying a cordless rotary hammer also RM800 liao.
Rest of the stuff (cement ready mix 3in1) and fittings not expensive.
This assumes that your time and petrol all fit within the 200 bucks.

I had a leaky hot water copper pipe on my third floor master bathroom causing water damage to my second floor hall's ceiling

Plumber removed/replace 1' x 1' tile and replaced around 10' of copper pipe with high temp PPR/PB pipe

Plus he did tons of jobs around the house
-installed bypass valve and additional stopcock to each of my bathrooms near my tank area
-replaced kitchen and bathroom taps
-replaced several flush valve and inlet valve for toilet
-new pipe (around 3') from my outdoor water filter to my car washing area

Total cost around 1400 (which at the time I think it was on a highside). Compared to your quotation now I think I got a bargain

Caveat - im on landed dwelling so my non-load bearing walls are made of redbricks and mortar. Since your mentioned concreate, Im guessing you are on prefab condo/house
Very rare for builders to run piping on concreate except for prefabs

Yup, my house is prefab condo. May be this is why the cost is high for the fix.
