Rewiring Room And Reno Toilet

[herzberg 0]

Hi all,

First timer doing some minor reno works here.

I'm planning to rewire my master bedroom, e.g. add more socket points, lighting points. For the attached toilet, I intend to change the toilet bowl, basin and heater, add some shelves.

All the lights and toilet stuff are bought and pending delivery.

Now, the question is, should I get a plumber and electrician to do each part separately? Or should I look for a contractor to take care of both?

Also, do I need to get approval/permit from HDB for the rewiring and toilet works?

Unless u are doing hacking u do not need to gat a hdb permit and if u are free to co ordinate then u should get seperate ppl but u also have to consider after installation and rewiring if your toilets leak its additional cost for u as they might not come back when u call them and if they do u pay labour and transport charges.But if u get a contractor they oversea everything any thing goes wrong u push it to them.Worst case senario is whole house gets short circuit its their fault u get it done free.Thats the benefit of a contractor anything u not happy dont be scared just tell them off.U pay for it what no free service in the world.

My guy charged me $180 to change toilet bowl and basin. gallon heater $80 for installation.My electrician charges $90 1 heater point and $44 per single plug double is $65.(5 above)For shelves u can get them to just drill on for you per toilet *** $20.

U can use this as a pricing guide line.
