Hi, After moving in our resale flat, we noticed sewage smell in the toilet on and off. Can't detect actual location where it came from. My ID told me to pour bleach into the drainage holes (the cover with lots of small holes, no sure what it's called) for wait for a day. Seems not much improvement. Also bought and used drainage cover, which blocks the drainage with an additional internal cover. Seems to have improved abit although we are not so sure too. Someone else also has similar problem - http://www.renotalk.com/forum/topic/65825-feces-smell-in-kitchen/ They suggested pouring in hot water. My father in law suggested pouring in those drain unclogging solution, still haven't tried ... Any other solution? Thanks

Hi, I have similar problem - sewage smell in toilet, but can't detect actual location where it came from.

So does pouring in hot water or bleach/detergent + hot water help? Do I pour inside the drainage holes or into the toilet bowl? Thanks!

Thanks guojiawen! Been too busy with lots of big and small things. I'll discuss a bit with the IDs which I contacted ... First one I contacted was Manaf from Designer house. Guess most of you in this forum heard of them. It's closed to my place so I visited them to discuss abt what I want to do. Manaf was attentive and he told me he'll give me a quotation next wk, cos he's busy right now. After a week, he whatsapp me saying he'll give me a week later ... and then no news after that. Was a bit disappointed since the 1st impression was good. Next was Zack from I-deal house. Similarly, attentive and he also gave some good suggestions. Unfortunately, his quotation was way too high, 1.5 times compared to the others. So of cos, I didn't look for him. The 3rd was Javerson from Dot N Tots. He's young and energetic. Maybe not as experienced compared to some others but he seems sincere and attentive. However, he shows that he still knows his stuff well when I made some mistakes in my suggestions. Next was Vincent from AP logic. From his talking, he's experienced and he also give some useful suggestions. Considered him till the end but maybe the chemistry isn't there. The 5th is Justin from AL Render. Also an experienced guy but maybe I don't like the way his quotation is laid out. He groups all the hacking stuff together and I am not able to compare the cost directly with others. Also not much chemistry. The last is Sebasten from Frontier concept. He's the guy who discuss the longest with me. He's more assertive but he also many useful suggestions too. We discussed twice for 2 hrs each and he's very detailed in his discussion. However, he kept on delaying giving me his quotation. He 1st said within 2-3days. Then no news. Called him since I feel that I should give him another chance. He told me he's on reservist and his secretary cock up... then he said he need to go jb last min ... can't believe he can give so many excuses. So in the end, it's Javerson from DnT! Let's hope everything proceeds smoothly!

ok thanks!

Went yesterday to select the tiles. I am mixing the old dining area tiles with the new living room ones, so they need to be as close a match as possible. The closest match one was out of stock, so have to choose the 2nd best ... My ID recommended 2 colors for the bathroom for more contrast too.

Hi binzz, mine's around 11yrs old. Meeting ID today to select tiles. :-)

Here's the original house, photos not too well taken though.... Living room
