mizarahi 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2009 Converting from squatting to sitting bowl should not cost more than $300, based on the quotations i received so far :-) That is really cheap. Almost seems impossible. I called a contractor just to quote for the conversion :- (i) cheap method - just overlay the tiles = $800 (ii) expensive method - hack and re-waterproof and re-lay tile = $1,300. I has this evil thought to purpose puncture the waterproofing in the toilet then get HDB come and do. Upstairs/downstairs 50/50. I so bad hor!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I has this evil thought to purpose puncture the waterproofing in the toilet then get HDB come and do. Upstairs/downstairs 50/50. I so bad hor!!!!! I think the cheap amount is due to just changing from squatting to sitting bowl without changing the rest of the tiles. And yes, quite evil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
