What areas does RumahPro cover?

We serve Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, and Johor Bahru. In KL, we cover Mont Kiara, Bangsar, Cheras, Kepong, Wangsa Maju, Bukit Jalil, and surrounding areas. In Selangor, we cover Petaling Jaya, Subang Jaya, Shah Alam, Puchong, Sunway, Kota Damansara, and more. In JB, we cover JB City, Iskandar Puteri, Skudai, and surrounding zones. Not sure if we cover your area? WhatsApp us and we will confirm within the hour.

Do you provide free quotations?

Yes. All quotations are free and issued in writing before any work begins. We break down costs clearly — labour, materials, and any additional items — so you know exactly what you are paying for. We do not start work until you have approved the quote in writing.

Can RumahPro handle plumbing, electrical, and renovation together?

Yes — this is one of our key advantages. Most small renovation firms subcontract either plumbing or electrical work, which adds coordination time and cost. RumahPro handles MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing) works in-house alongside carpentry, tiling, painting, and full renovation scope. One contractor for the full job.

How long does a typical bathroom or kitchen renovation take?

A full bathroom renovation typically takes 7 to 14 working days depending on scope, tile selection, and fixture availability. A kitchen renovation typically takes 10 to 21 working days. We provide a project timeline alongside the quotation so you know when to expect completion before work starts.

Is RumahPro a licensed and insured contractor?

Our tradespeople hold the relevant certifications for electrical and plumbing works. Renovation projects are covered under contractor insurance. We will provide documentation upon request during the quotation process.

Bathroom Renovation in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor — Complete Gut-and-Rebuild, Done Properly

Name: RumahPro
Telephone: +6011-6999-2619

The bathroom is where a shoddy renovation causes problems you cannot see until they are serious. A leaking pipe behind the wall. Waterproofing membrane applied over damp substrate that is already growing mould. Tiles laid without the correct adhesive that crack and loosen six months later. Grout that was never sealed and is now stained black.

Bathroom Renovation in Kuala Lumpur & Selangor — Complete Gut-and-Rebuild, Done Properly

Most of these problems come from the same source: someone who did the visible parts well and cut corners on the foundation work underneath.

RumahPro's bathroom renovation process starts with the structure — waterproofing, plumbing, and substrate preparation — before anything decorative goes in. The tiles, fittings, and fixtures are the part you see. The work underneath is the part that determines whether it lasts five years or twenty.

Our Services

Full scope of services we provide.

build

Demolition & Hacking

We strip the bathroom back to the structural walls and floor. Old tiles are hacked off, existing plumbing fittings are removed, and the substrate is assessed for cracks, uneven surfaces, and moisture damage before any new work begins. We do not tile over problems. We fix the substrate first.

roofing

Waterproofing

Waterproofing is applied to the floor and walls (minimum 300mm above floor level, higher in shower areas) before any tiles are laid. We use membrane-type waterproofing products appropriate for the substrate condition and apply them to the correct thickness with full floor and wall coverage.

The waterproofing membrane is tested with a 24-hour water retention test before tiling begins. This is our standard process on every bathroom renovation.

build

Floor Screeding & Levelling

Old bathroom floors are often uneven, have low spots that pool water, or have incorrect falls towards the floor drain. We re-screed the floor with the correct gradient — the floor should drain completely within a short time of water contact, not pool in corners.

build

Wall & Floor Tiling

We lay tiles using the correct adhesive for the substrate and tile type, grout the joints with epoxy grout in wet areas (which lasts significantly longer than cement grout), and seal all grout lines in wet areas. We advise on tile selection honestly — large-format tiles look better but require more careful floor preparation.

Bathroom Plumbing — Full Installation

Water Heater Installation

Instant water heater replacement or new installation as part of the bathroom renovation. We size the unit correctly for the bathroom configuration, install with the correct electrical circuit isolation, and position it for safe and practical access to the controls.

shower

Bathroom Fixtures, Fittings & Vanity

Toilet bowl, vanity unit or wall-mounted basin, shower screen or bath enclosure, mirror cabinet, towel rails, toilet paper holders, shower head and hose, and all associated fittings. Supply and install or install only depending on whether you have sourced your own fittings.

build

Glass Shower Screen & Enclosure

We install frameless and semi-frameless tempered glass shower screens, ensure the glass is correctly bonded and sealed at wall and floor junctions, and use the correct hardware for long-term reliability. Poorly sealed shower screens are a common source of bathroom water damage in condos — we take this detail seriously.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a full bathroom renovation take in KL? expand_more

A complete gut-and-rebuild bathroom renovation typically takes 7 to 14 working days on site. The waterproofing curing period (minimum 24 hours for retention test, 48 to 72 hours for full cure) is a non-negotiable part of the timeline — it cannot be rushed.

Why is my bathroom leaking through to the unit below? expand_more

This is almost always a waterproofing failure — either the original waterproofing was applied incorrectly, applied to a damp substrate, or the membrane is at the end of its service life. The fix requires hacking off the floor tiles, reapplying waterproofing correctly, and retiling. A surface patch will not resolve a waterproofing failure permanently.

Can you just replace the toilet and fittings without a full renovation? expand_more

Yes. Standalone toilet replacement, basin replacement, tap replacement, and shower fittings replacement are available without a full renovation scope. We assess the existing plumbing condition and advise if anything should be addressed while access is open — but we will not pressure you into a full renovation if it is not needed.

What is the difference between an instant water heater and a storage tank heater? expand_more

Instant heaters are compact, energy-efficient for single-point use, and the most common choice in KL and Selangor apartments where space is limited. Storage tank heaters provide consistent hot water pressure — better for rain showers and households with high hot water demand. We advise on the best option for your bathroom layout and usage before specifying.

Do you handle bathroom renovations in condos with building management requirements? expand_more

Yes. Condo bathroom renovations require renovation permits from building management. We handle permit applications, brief our team on building-specific rules, and schedule loud work within permitted windows. This is standard in our process for KL and Selangor condo work.
