@greenbunny come on, dun be shy, show us more pics (non-bathroom)  

how does the original basin location piping looks like now? It is lucky that you got 2 floor traps.

but then your shower head is position away from the bathroom door so should not have water seeping out to kitchen issue?

Many neighbours will throw unwanted tiles away. I do gave away unwanted tiles to neighbours too so dun need to be pai seh. Join your FB BTO group. sharing is caring. <3 

hahaha ok ok i will try to overcome my shyness by sharing more pics of my whole house soon..

Are you refering to the original basin location piping as shown in the above pic?

Well, the small floor trap at the shower area is still no use because most of the water would flow down towards the big floor trap near WC. That's why there is a hole at the shower kerb. When i first saw it, I got excited until I tested pouring water on the floor.. Ouch!

I tend to stand besides shower wall because I don't want water to "slap" on my face if I were to stand in front of shower wall  *whispering* I sometimes point my shower head at the door to remove soap off the door haha.. I have to stop this habit.

Grenbunny that's a great idea! thanks for sharing... i know where to look for tiles now.  Your bathroom looked really nice and the lighting give it a very cosy feel. The dual door system is a great idea. Where you get that door from?

I saw in your foto, you installed instant water heater. And there are 2 metal pipes running on to of the water heater. Hot / Cold water pipe?

Thank you for your lovely comment on my bathroom. Oh my ID-contractor ordered bathroom doors for me. I will ask him where he ordered from because my friends also want to know. Then I will let you know.

Yes it's instant water heater but actually it is multi-point, not conventional (single-point) type. Hence besides shower, I can have hot/cold water at basin tap mixer as well. It works like storage heater (hot/water piping) but no need to wait for preheating. You may refer to http://www.bennington.com.sg/faq-on-iemwh/ for more information =) So far, it works so fine for me.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Though the layout is different from mine, but I think the drainage is a totally brilliant idea... extending the pipes and hiding inside the kerb... i didn't even think of it before ... though might not be possible in my toilet but this is a great idea ... 

BTW where does the piping in the fifth photo draining from? Is that from the small hole in the shower kerb?

After looking at your floor plan, you can make concerte box (also can be used as shelf for shampoo, shower gel, etc..) to cover/hide outlet, then extend to the kerb, and then hide inside kerb towards basin on the opposite wall. Something like that. And you are lucky that you don't have to add in extra piping for basin/shower unlike mine.

Which piping in the fifth photo? Are you refering to "hook" pipe on the left side on the accent bathroom wall with black tape? I am told that it is to connect storage heater's drain point to the drain pipe.

The hole in the shower kerb is just to drain water (including soap and even hair) from the wet area to the big floor trap besides WC (dry area) because of the floor slope. That's why small floor trap near shower wall is almost useless.

Such a cosy bathroom, the water heater pipes look complicated but so long as they work. The dual lock is a great idea .. gonna see if I can copy that too ... XD

Thank you for your kind comment! haha of course you are welcome to copy that too. I copied ideas from others here too! Like what mmoh said, sharing is caring =)

Yes, I am asking for current look.

oh, so shower slanted instead of direct? what is the width from shower wall to the glass door?

Now i after shower hor, 1st use a scrapper to scrap the water from wall and doors, then use a clothe to wipe all wall and doors dry, then use mop to mop floor dry... by the time i finish these, perspire again... >_< never so hard working b4... -_-

if u overlay the floor tiles then the slope issue can be resolved right? to angle the floor tiles for the water to flow to the trap at the shower area instead.

Hi @greenbunny, overall, it's very nice and cosy bathroom. I also like your kitchen cabinet design. Also, did you do your own flooring? I take it is vinyl? How much does it cost you for flooring and kitchen cabinet? Cheers.

Yeah shower is slanted to give me more horizontal space. 70cm wide from shower wall to the glass door. haha good for you to be so hardworking - part of exercise.. ouch at your perspiration.. so turn on a/c first before starting to clean?  

Oops you right about that gray pipe - i must be lousy at counting which picture (5th).. Yes it is from the aircon.

Exactly! Overlaying of the floor tiles to adjust slope issue is the only way but I chose not because it would be level with kitchen floor (then more more seeping water into kitchen) and I was trying to cut costs. Once waterproofing warranty expires in 3 years, I may do another renovation including hacking only for this bathroom. If only my pocket is too fat and need to shed some "weight".

Yes I opted out of Optional Component Scheme so I did my own flooring - correct, it is vinyl. Vinyl flooring is part of my ID-contractor quotation. Vinyl flooring including skirting costs me $1900. The kitchen costs are as below:-

-To supply and install Laminated kitchen cabinet with abs trimming 15ft $ 1,980.00
-To supply and install laminated full ht cabinet cover pipe and dish rack 3ft $ 330.00
-To supply and install kompac plus tabletop single profile 15ft $ 1,425.00

At first i thought that 20% deposit is kind of too much but luckily my ID-contractor didn't run away till the end

Hi @greenbunny, thank you for sharing. Since you opt out OCS and laid vinyl flooring, did you have to do cement screed before laying vinyl? If so, did you have HDB or private contractor doing it? Also, hat is the cost?

Since I had to save $1400 quoted by private contractor, I got HDB contractor to do it instead for free. Well, I waited for O.N.E and H.A.L.F months because many residents also requested for cement screeding! sigh.. luckily I was not in hurry to move in. I collected keys in end Oct 2017 but because of long wait for cement screeding, renovation couldn't start until first week of Dec 2017.. Renovation took about 2 months including end-year holidays and CNY blackout. I moved in officially in mid-March 2018.
