I have withdrawn my reply which I think it is not appropriate to comment anything.

It is best to remove the paintwork on the existing wall before applying plaster. Smooth wall with paint is not advisable to plaster. After a few years, the plaster will crack and thin layer of plaster will detached from the wall.

This is quite common. Your contractor would be able to get the workman to use a trowel and sand paper to make it smooth.

Why must go thru ID for such a simple job? Some ID mark-up very high and he outsource the job to an HDB License Contractor.

Discuss with your ID and work out a solution. BTW, is the 13A electrical socket looks unique.

Now a day superb workmanship is hard to find

I am not too sure whether it is possible to hack off the ceramic skirting. Please discuss with your ID or contractor. I know that after spending so much on renovation and I can understand that it is very energy draining to see the work not up to your expectation I hope the contactor can do something to make it look better especially the uneven and wavy areas.

Wood skirting would be nice. Wood will not look thick and it comes in long plank. Ceramic skirting look thick because it needs cement to bond it to the wall.

Please post your rectification work with more details such as floor area, material to replace the current flooring and etc. Without proper details, it is very hard to estimate the cost.

All the uncles who are skilled in terrazzo and broken marble during the 1970s and 80s have already retired from the trade long long time ago. If you have some contacts, maybe can get one from Johor Bahru. Happy hunting and all the best!

It is important to instant the water heater as according to the specification of the manufacturer. The circuit has to be a direct line from the DB or Consumer Box, 20A double pole switch should be outside the bathroom and a junction 20A junction box in the bathroom. Install the instant water with a Flexible 2.5mm 50/0.25 cable and make sure it is earthed. For added safety, it is best to choose those model with a built-in RCCB or ELB and of course every house already has RCCB 30mA at the DB Box. This just an added protection in case the 30mA RCCB at the DB Box failed to work.

You need to buy a better bracket from Jalan Besar area. Take out the old one and install the new one which can support the sink against the wall. Your present bracket is not so good. I have used it before and it can't hold the weight of the basin.

Products are not the same in terms of scratch resistance, shrinkage and VOC. Get a sample from them and do a comparison. Happy Shopping.

All bathroom should have these 10mA RCD protection.

Add a dedicated RCD to the water heater circuit can offer more protection against any electricity leakage. Type 1, or 10mA, RCDs, seek to protect people in areas of increased risk such as circuits supplying bathrooms and outdoor equipment and for use in kindergartens or medical areas. They should stop a person from ‘locking on’ due to muscular contraction that occurs around the 10mA level of electric shock for adult males (or less for females and children) and should also protect vulnerable people with medical conditions and/or where metallic medical equipment has been introduced into the patient’s body The RCD at the Consumer Unit is Type 2, or 30mA, RCDs is not enough to protect from electricity shock as in wet area such as the bathroom.
