as the sayings go..don't squeeze your contractor too much.. you are the receiving ends and you won't know what you will be getting if you push them to the limit..

I am not sure if the house i rented's owner pushed the contractor too hard or not. As a result, now there is leaking below the toilet (2nd floor) to the ground floor kitchen.

Now, she is looking for another contractor again. I found out that the total price for renovating a toilet is around RM900 like that. I was like shocking.gif .

I have no experience at renovation, but it sounds too low for a job in Bandar Sunway with the cost of living is quite high.

Jobs included is to tear up all the floor area in the toilet, change another ducking "jamban" to a sitting 1 and have to be done within 3 days' time.

Is the offer is too low?

Note: Some certain material like cement and sitting toilet bowl are being provided.

+1.

I want to know that answer as well.

But i know an advantage about this: less noise pollution. rclxms.gif

I heard that people suggest me about using a kind of material to spread it over the toilet to prevent the water leaking down to the kitchen. But he forgot the material name ald. Anyone has any idea what kind of material is that?
