Repiping Of Water Piping For Resale Hdb

[jOHNNYbRAVO 1]

Hi, I'm currently facing a leakage of my copper water pipe running across my existing HDB resale flat. I've been sourcing a few plumbers online but majority are unable to do Repiping as they only doing minor repair works.

To carry out repair works, I was quoted 130 for changing a 4-5m length by plumber A using copper pipes and 180 for changing a 1.5m length by plumber B using SS pipes. For Repiping, plumber A unable to do, plumber B quoted 1150 using ss pipes and to add 300 if want copper pipes and plumber c who only do Repiping, quoted 1600. Mine is a 4 room flat and my piping is not hard to reach, all are easily accessible with ample working space. After 2 days of thinking, I've decided to use plumber B for Repiping works. Yet to start yet but will post here after it was done. Decided to start this thread as there was No relevant thread here to help people like me in future.

I did that for my 5yr old resale hdb too.

I won't ask how much did you do because I realised prices for these Repiping works increased drastically over the years. I guess I'll Just change it and get over it ASAP. I will post my review of plumber B after the job is done.

I just negotiated down the price to S$1,100 after a lengthy discussion over the phone with Plumber B. Work included additional 2 bidget outlets at toilets and reworking of my existing piping underneath sink that seems to choke endlessly over the years. Upon inspection, Plumber B said that the design of the piping for the sink was done wrongly. Will post my pictures before and after work here.

Hi jOHNNYbRAVO & RenoJoy,

Can pm me your plumbing contacts? Thanks!

Dear peppermean,

I am unable to assess now as its only less than 1 week. I will update again.

However, U-Home (Fluorene) is able to do re-plumbing.

Was thinking of asking them to my house and give a quote becase I am sure their price will be lower but I have already promised Plumber B.

To-date, I am not very impress with Plumber B. We will see how things goes.

PS: I won't be surprise that Plumber B is reading this anyway.

Regards,
