Budget At S$15K For Simple Renovation For 2 Baths & Kitchen

[RaniG 0]

I just took over my apartment from a 3 year tenancy. Mine is a 2 bedroom apartment. I'm looking to renovate both the bathrooms and kitchen for now at a budget of $15K. Hope it's doable. I'm not looking at designer labels or features. Can anyone recommend a good contractor? I'm hoping to start this month. Details as follows:

Master Bathroom

- remove bathtub

- overlay of floor tiles

- change wall tiles (maybe overlay if it's cheaper)

- expand shower area

- new shower door

- change vanity and mirror

- fix lighting

Common Bathroom

- overlay of floor tiles

- change wall tiles (maybe overlay if it's cheaper)

- change shower door

- change vanity and mirror

- fix lighting

Kitchen

- remove existing cabinets and fix new ones

- overlay floor tiles

- fix tempered glass near cooking area (selected areas)

- change kitchen doors

Hi Rani,

the 15k budget looks tight. I did my bathroom - hack up flooring and wall tiles, remove tub, waterproofing, re-lay floor and wall tiles, new shower glass - 6k+

for your bathroom, may be advisable to consider whether you need to waterproof the flooring and part of the wall. a bit of investment especially if the apartment is not a new one.

can pm if you are interested.

albest!

agree that 15k is quite tight. 20k will be more realistic. reason being, condos will tends to be more expensive when compared to HDB even though the works are similar.

secondly, all the pipings in the bathrooms are concealed. so your plumbing works will also go up.

thirdly, is the one that is most vague. u mention change doors and vanity top. this one really depends on material. glass or wood door? vanity top using stones or surface? how big is the vanity table. how big is the bathroom.. in short, its all about dimension.

so... really difficult to judge what are your limitations with 15k...
