lemontea78 0 Report post Posted August 8, 2008 Hello everyone, Me and my wife just gotten a 4A flat, already 10-yrs old. Condition of it is rather satisfactory, but we would like to do some minimal renovation to the toilets + repainting. Wifey wants to change toilet bowl and sink for master toilet. Maybe retiling? For main toilet, its still hdb stock condition. Picture normal tiles + hdb pvc doors. Can I get some advise as to what can be done and about how much it'll cost? So far i heard from frens was that their master toilet cost them 8k, which is ex man.... We're strapped for cash after paying COV, so we want to save $... Appreciate your advises here.

Wat does debris mean? Sorri i newbie on reno.... my first property here. $90 per toilet bowl for labour, so how much for toilet bowl itself? wat is the typical range of price and brand for an okay toilet bowl?
