How to hire a tiling pro in Malaysia
- Check SSM registration; CIDB registration for contractors on larger works
- In strata buildings get the JMB/MC renovation permit; hacking hours are restricted
- Confirm waterproofing redo (with ponding test) when bathroom floors are hacked
- Decide overlay versus hack-and-retile — overlay is common for budget refreshes
- Get a per-sq-ft or per-m² itemized quote with disposal included
- Check Recommend.my reviews with bathroom photos
Strata buildings require management renovation permits and restrict hacking hours; waterproofing reinstatement with a ponding test is standard practice for bathroom retiles. Tiling itself is unlicensed for small works, with CIDB registration required of construction contractors.

Frequently asked questions
Do wet areas need waterproofing before tiling?
Yes — tiles and grout are not waterproof; the membrane behind them is. Most countries mandate or strongly standardize wet-area waterproofing, and it must cure before tiling. If a bathroom quote doesn't mention waterproofing, that is the question to ask before anything else.
How much does it cost to remove old tiles?
Removal is priced per square metre and depends on what's underneath: tiles on board come off fast, tiles on thick sand-cement beds are slow, noisy demolition work. Budget for substrate repairs after removal — you rarely know the wall or floor condition until tiles are off.
Should I buy the tiles or does the tiler supply them?
Either works, but you usually choose and buy tiles yourself and the tiler supplies adhesive, grout and trims. Order 10-15% extra for cuts and breakage (more for patterns and large formats) and keep leftovers for future repairs. Have tiles on site before the tiler starts.
How much does tiling cost?
Tilers price labour per square metre (or square foot), with tiles, adhesive, grout and prep on top. Small-format ceramic on a flat floor is the base rate; large-format porcelain, natural stone, mosaics, herringbone patterns and wall work all cost more per unit because they are slower and less forgiving.
How do I find a good tiler in Iskandar Puteri?
Ask tilers in Iskandar Puteri for photos of finished wet rooms and floor-to-wall junctions — lippage (uneven tile edges), crooked grout lines and bad cuts around fittings are where cheap work shows. Good tilers also talk about substrate prep and waterproofing before they talk about tiles.
What does tiling cost in Malaysia?
Labour typically runs RM 5-12 per sq ft (roughly RM 55-130 per m²) for standard formats. A full bathroom hack-and-retile with waterproofing commonly lands RM 6,000-15,000 before tiles.
