neubie 2 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 i am wondering why contractors still use those non anti fungal silicon at these watery areas. so troublesome to ask ppl to come redo after some time of staying in the flat. i planning to ask another contractor to one shot come up fix all those broken down places. fed up to do one by one, they seem to take turn give me problems. think cost is an issue. a normal tube of silicon cost $3+ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matashi 1 Report post Posted October 27, 2010 think cost is an issue. a normal tube of silicon cost $3+ i think they made more than just a few bucks to pay for these silicons. should have used these anti fungal silicon instead. they cut cost = owners suffer now i realise my glass door is slanted, many grout lines not filled, carpentry silicon breaking up and not holding anymore....etc PEK CHEK :curse: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I OFFICIALLY DON'T RECOMMEND THIS CONTACTOR I USED Edited November 3, 2010 by matashi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise can really spoil the mood nah it's ok. i only got myself to blame when i thought since this contractor i got from forum, so he wouldn't anyhow do cos he depends on forum for advertisement. seems to be the exact opposite. btw, how is your place? move in liao?
