### Ceramic / Homogeneous Tiles

Time‑tested and extremely hard‑wearing, tiles remain a top choice for many Singaporeans.

• Waterproof: Yes, when properly grouted and sealed.
• Underfoot feel: Cold and hard—comfort can be improved with rugs.
• Installation: Labour‑intensive; requires hacking of old tiles, cement screeding, then tile laying. Dust and noise are significant.
• Durability: 30+ years if properly maintained.
• Cost: $5.00 – $12.00 psf installed, plus hacking and disposal of old tiles.

Side‑by‑Side Comparison

Choosing the Right Flooring for Different Rooms

• Living Room (HDB/Condo): Vinyl for comfort and easy maintenance; tiles for ultimate durability.
• Bedrooms: Vinyl or laminate—warmth underfoot is important.
• Kitchen: Vinyl (waterproof) or tiles. Avoid laminate.
• Bathrooms: Tiles with proper waterproofing. Vinyl can work but must be perfectly sealed at edges.
• Balcony: Outdoor‑rated tiles or composite decking.

Professional Installation: The Make‑or‑Break Factor

Even the most expensive flooring will fail if installed poorly. At AM Handyman Service SG, our flooring service includes:

• Subfloor assessment: We check for dampness, unevenness, and loose tiles.
• Screeding: Self‑levelling compound applied to achieve a perfectly flat base.
• Moisture barrier: A vapour barrier sheet prevents rising damp from affecting vinyl or laminate.
• Expert cutting and fitting: Tight joints, seamless transitions between rooms, proper expansion gaps.
• Skirting and profiles: Matching skirting, reducer strips, and edge profiles for a polished finish.
• Clean‑up: All debris and old flooring removed and legally disposed.

When to Repair Instead of Replace

If your existing tiles are largely intact but a few are cracked or hollow, targeted tile replacement is far more economical than a full overlay. Our tilers can carefully remove damaged tiles without affecting neighbours, match new tiles closely, and regrout the area. We also fix hollow tiles by injecting adhesive, saving you from a full replacement.

Cost Transparency

We believe in upfront pricing. Once you send us your room dimensions and a few photos via WhatsApp, we provide a fixed quotation that includes materials, labour, screeding (if needed), underlay, skirting, and disposal. No hidden transport or weekend fees.
