Erm, a bit hard to say how much it cost leh. But the work done includes tiling the floor, tiling the wall, painting the wall, bathtub, bathtub mixer, vanity counter, mirror (just installed today, will post picture soon), plumbing, electrical, lights, etc. maybe 5k?

Am afraid of maintenance too. So you know what? I've moved in almost a month and haven't used the tub yet! Only the boy has played in it twice. The bathroom is hardly used. We usually used the common bathroom, so only need to clean one bathroom!

nice house! may i check how much it cost for all the reno work?? mind to share? can PM me.

Nobody uses PPR pipes? I searched renotalk forum and from the various discussions it seems PPR pipes are cheaper than copper pipes, like half the price. Hmm... somehow I was given the impression that PPR pipes are good and expensive and I had to top up quite a sum of money to replace existing pipes with PPR pipes.

Anyway, I made the final payment yesterday and my renovation has officially completed. Some outstanding works, but no urgency. I would like to share my thoughts and highlight some experiences from this renovation process. My contractor is Mr K.

yea cos i see like quite hard to manage soapy water if it splashes out... but its lovelyyyyyyyyyy. i love it :( might consider that for MBR as well.

ahhhh okok, 5k sounds just about right. am doing all the above except tiling the floor.. so prob 4k for me lol

mad love for your toilets - bold move to paint! typically we opt to tile it but actually if water is contained to shower area (which is what most toilets today have anyway), paint should last I reckon!

mad love for your kitchen too! the flooring is HERF right? is it Amsterdam eggshell? my hubby sooooooo scared to use grey/white!

Awww.. lucky pooches. So nice of you to give them such a big and comfy space. :thumbs up: Everything's looking gorgeous!
