dyleen 0 Report post Posted September 2, 2009 Actually I would do it too, if really suay suay have to re-pipe, just take it as an excuse to re-do your toilets Wahahahaha Moreover since HDB themselves also box-up the pipe, I do not see the reason why we can't for our case, my contractor told us that if there's leaking of the pipes, then we may have to tear down all the boxup and tiles. so waste money. hence after some brainwashing, we just boxup and paint the "boxup" never do tiling. And the boxup material, my contractor said he used the one that is waterproof one. But after looking at yours, boxup and tiled up really nice nice sial....

And the boxup material, my contractor said he used the one that is waterproof one. But after looking at yours, boxup and tiled up really nice nice sial.... Thanks for the compliment. Tiling on these box-up actually need different grade of cement and tiler's skill I think. (*I heard that from an old contractor*) As the surface of the box are different and tiles have to be firm to the surface to prevent slip. Need more effort than our usual wall tiles to support them before they stabalize. Hmm....so if you don't see me around posting....that mean...tiles likely have drop down to my head. lols. Let you know if that really happens..lols.. I hope it will not happen.. But I also doubt so la.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
