Last time, the nippon paint package uses Martex for ceiling and Vinilex for walls. I used All in one, easy application since I DIY. How much does colorland sell? Would look for them if they price is cheap when I want to repaint. Best Regards KW

Yup, I used Nippon all in 1. During my time, there was only one Nippon all in 1. The Nippon 5 in 1 might be the Nippon all in 1 with easy wash. You could check with the seller. I remembered my Nippon all in 1 has a lot of anti, possible anti-mould, but not easy wash. I do not like easy wash as the surface is a bit more shiny. You could send me a PM to discuss further on the paint. Best Regards KW

Hi Dean, My house is a 5 room. I used the guide from Nippon to estimate the paint and sealant. You would use lesser than what the website would recommend. http://www.nipponpaint.com.sg/advice/diy-guides/paint-guide-interior I wanted to use different colors at first. However, after painting my master bedroom with the color, I found it too tedious, and I painted the rest white. I used quite a lot of white since I using Nippon all in 1 for my ceiling as well. I use 2 types of sealant, water and oil based. I used oil based for my toilet and kitchen ceiling, and the rest water based. I applied 1 coat of the sealant since the original coat is white too. Best Regards KW

Hi Dean, Links which I brought my paint. I purchased the 20 litres since it is value for money. If you are doing some small paint jobs yourself, there are some good sponge rollers which you can consider. It is much cheaper compared to the prices in the home-fix. http://www.estore.com.sg/nippon-odourless-all-in-1-emulsion-paint-20-litre-1148-white-p-6-25-2148.html http://www.estore.com.sg/nippon-super-vinilex-5000-%2820-litre%29-standard-colour-p-6-25-953.html http://www.estore.com.sg/nippon-super-vinilex-5000-%2820-litre%29-special-colour-p-6-25-1132.html Best Regards KW

Hi Dean, I am not sure of his WC installation nor WC installation with electrical. If you are purchasing the Baron WC white color and installing the WC by your contractor, you can consider buying from them since it is $138. I purchase my Baron from Royal Franco yesterday, since their baron color WC price with installation seems better. I got it at $250. For the paint, I purchase from estore 3 years ago. I found them the cheapest since their delivery charge is $15 flat. As for the paint job, I DIY myyself. Best Regards KW

Hi all, Sharing some cheap source for Baron WC. Found my previous online website which I brought my paint from selling the Baron WC. The price is around $138-$168, depending on the color. You would need to pay $15 for the delivery. I am looking to DIY the WC or looking for some cheap contractor to help me install it. http://www.estore.com.sg/baron-203-water-closet-%28white%29-p--99-1098.html http://www.estore.com.sg/baron-203-water-closet-%28coloured%29-p--99-2677.html http://www.estore.com.sg/baron-303-water-closet---one-piece-set-p--99-2100.html

Hi all, I have crack lines on my toilet bowl after 1 year. It is a Saniton Camellia ST2488, provided by HDB. I am thinking to DIY on changing it to a Baron. It is the cheapest and is available in the estore, which I could have it delivered to me at $15. Is it hard to change the toilet bowl? Anyone have any suggestions or experiences on changing to share? Thanks KW

Hi, I am looking to replace this friction stay, to save on some cost. There are some cracks on the moving leaf (the black carbon part). I have went to hardware shop to search but the friction stay that I found are different, ie the moving leaf is made of metal and the alignment hole is different. Attached is a picture of the friction stay. Please help. Thanks Best Regards

Hi, I did the online purchase and some on the spot while collecting.. The price on the website is the price that I paid.

Hi.. I brought the paint from the eStore for my house painting around 2 months ago, using Nippon Paint odourless. I purchased both the 5L and the 20L version. You can save a bit of cost for the 20L version which I did for my ceiling. The transportation cost is $15, not sure whether that has increased. Quality wise, the 5L is the same paint I saw from paint shop, not sure of the 20L as I do not see those at the paint shop. Hope the information helps.

Hi, all I will check with the contractor on the cleaning powder and I would test it whether what they say is true. If it is good, I would do order for all of us.. Tampering with our gate. would go an inspect my gate.
-
Cantona7: I will check. I heard that it cannot be brought outside. Let me check on that. I also need it in case I need to remove my stains.
-
Cantona7: I used back the HDB tiles, therefore, no need to top up the difference. All: I did change one piece parquet skirting. Had to fight hard with HDB. That piece have around 2-3mm height difference. The top is flush to the skirting beside it but the bottom is 2-3mm gap. They say that this is not defect, but when I ask them, if this is not defect, then what is it? They could not give me an answer, so I say, CHANGE. I am not making things hard for them but my life would be hard if I need to repair these defects next time. Hi, weixiaobao Mr Ng is the HDB technical officer, not sure whether it is linked to the contractor. For the tiles, before I could change all tiles, the contractor told me they have one powder to polish and clean it. I also have stains in my current tiles, Mr muscle also not muscle enough to clean it. I put that as defect and contractor say that they would clean it when they handover me.
-
Ok. Will do that once everything is done.. Must not be stingy with compliments.
-
Hi Valer1e I had written at least five emails to my TO and My TO, Mr Ng was helpful with my appeal. I had tried to give HDB valid reasons and wanted explanation from HDB in my appeal but it was unsuccessful and no valid reason was given by HDB. I was determined to change the tiles. Finally, I wrote email to as well as call my TO, his superior and my senior estate officer. To my surprise, my TO superior gave me a call was informed me that my request was approved the next day. Maybe you might want to tell me the situation you are in and I hope I would be of help.

missysg: I have 35 tiles or more that needs to be changed. Afraid that they give me different tone, which is happening to my neighbour. Therefore, redo all tiles. For the handle. can check with your HDB TO. I think should be the same TO as me. Hehe Zen2008: I going to BSC to see the tiles and negotiate the time frame. Not giving them too much time as they had been delaying my things for almost 2 mths. All: Cheers to all of us to fight for a better house.
-
Hi. All They redoing all my living room tiles. need to to get things done.. Now is to catch up with the delay.
-
Hmm. For the toilet, saw a bit uneven but did the water flow test and it passed the test. Therefore, just complaint to hdb to remove the uneven and chip tile.
-
Not sure of that, I pressing them to redo. My problem is if HDB give me >35 pieces different tiles, which is happening to my neighbour. I am sure when that happen, HDB would not redo. 10%-15% defects mean that in our estate, there will be 1000 pieces defect for 10000 tiles, so it is not surprise that yours have the same problem as me. I have heard HDB redo some flats in the Blk 600 plus area. One year warranty starts from the day we collect our keys, which means we are left with 10 mths warranty. Unevenness is 1mm between two tiles. HDB have tools to check for it. For me, I can feel the tiles cutting, which is very unsafe for kids, but good to train leopard crawl.
-
Hi, Weixiaobao What's your email address?
-
Hmm, how to stop HDB from getting monthly installment from CPF, not moved in, still have to pay the conservative charges. All under same umbrella. I have 30 pieces hollow tiles, 2 chip tiles and God know how many uneven tiles, total of > 13% defects. Want them to redo all tiles.
-
Hi. I also thinking of going to HDB Hub to complaint. I think the conservation charges is $61/mth. I wrote a email to appeal to my technical officer to redo the living rooom tiles but was not approved without any reasons given. I am not drafting a email to write to the customer service and the quality service manager in the hub. Their email could be found in the hdb contact us link. va|er1e: Sure, I can BCC you my email. For the two tone, I also have a few, but they sure they give me a varnish. Hope that would give it some life to the color.
-
Hi, missysg No problem, you give me your email address, I can put you in the BCC. The conservative money is enough to buy at least a rice cooker.
-
Hi, all I was also quoted $280 for the tile skirting. I have a >10% hollow tiles in the living room, talked about quality . I am still fighting with the HDB to replace all. I am getting pissed with all these wait and wait, waiting for their new pay day? I am drafting my documents to go HDB hub and MP. BSC have done only 3 items for the past 3 weeks. I was thinking of not paying them conservative charges, since it had been 2 mths.

I have this big patch of cement on my common toilet tile holding the bottom hinge of the shower screen. They told me that because the shape of the toilet is slanted, there is a need for the patch of cement. However that was not the case when I went to ckoonyin place.
