HDB inspector come and inspect. Then come out conclusion.

If it is normal wear and tear. HDB might pay 50% out of good will. Balance 50% share between u and ur neigbour

If it is due to waterproof didn't do properly during your renovation. U need to re-do the whole toilet flooring at your own cost.

According to your T-blog, seem like u did reno your toilet during 2009.

Pray hard.

My MIL also face the same situation as you. However her last renovation was like 10+ yrs ago.

Hence HDB conclusion is normal wear and tear. Hence HDB pay 50%, she pay $250, neigbour pay $250.

As the leaking was from both common and master bedroom toilet.

So her total damage is $500.

Note:

The cost does not include uninstall the toilet door and install back the toilet door.

The contractor charge for uninstall and install. Better neg a price.

Nope, mine's not in Tampines.

I did reno my hse but i did not touch the waterproofing in the toilets. I did an overlay. So in this case, my HDB waterproofing is still in tact rite .. my flat is only 9 yrs old and it's having this problem ... oh my ...

TC responsible for "main stacker" only. Those "U" sub-stackers or pipes is users' problem.

If no sign showing the leakage due to main stacker, TC mostly will recommend both to bear 50% of the cost.

Experience shows that the leakages mostly happen at circumfence around floor traps and well, around main stacker, WC's "neck". Water sips along the pipes/stackers, spread to cement around them.

Similar case happen to my hse... shared e 50% reno cost wif my neighbour below n TC pay e remaining.

As for toilet bowl not sure whether able to recycle.... For my case, they replaced a standard toilet bowl. Tiles wise I thk if u wan ur own design jus provide e tiles they can do for u...
