HDB Cost Guide

HDB Renovation Cost by Flat Size and Room Scope

Quick answer: HDB and room renovation cost

FixMove helps HDB owners separate room-level refreshes, wet-area rebuilding, carpentry and full-flat renovation into itemised planning bands. Indicative HDB renovation bands on this page start from S$1,800 for a single-room touch-up, S$3,800 for a small multi-room refresh, S$22,800 for a core family renovation and S$32,800 for a standard full-flat package. The final number depends on flat size, retained items, hacking, wet works, material grade, built-ins and hidden-condition rectification.

  • Compare real HDB renovation price ranges side by side, then see exactly which next step fits your flat.
  • It works best before booking measurement, when you still need to separate must-do works from optional upgrades.
  • Send your flat type, floor plan and photos of the kitchen, bathroom and built-ins on WhatsApp. We will help separate essential works from optional upgrades before measurement — so the budget you plan around is realistic, not a guess.

Common hdb renovation cost scenarios

These are the common planning situations we see before measurement is booked.

Basic refresh budgets

Useful when the scope is mainly paint, flooring touch-up and selected replacements.

Core family renovation

Best when kitchen, bathroom and carpentry are all part of the plan.

Older flat with rectification

Useful when hidden-condition work may widen the budget beyond cosmetic upgrades.

Scope we usually confirm before quoting

Lock these items earlier and the price range gets easier to set.

Core cost buckets

Kitchen, bathroom, flooring, paint and carpentry usually drive the total.

Flat type matters

3-room, 4-room and 5-room HDB budgets often widen by room count and built-ins.

Rectification versus upgrade

Old-condition rectification should be separated from cosmetic or layout upgrades.

HDB Renovation Cost budget guide

Treat every figure below as an indicative starting point, not a fixed quote. Final pricing depends on measurements, material level and hidden-condition risk — and is confirmed in writing before any work begins, never above the agreed quote.

Entry touch-up From S$1,800 Single-room paint, wall patching, minor carpentry fix or tap and valve swap. Good for move-in day fixes or small landlord jobs.
Small-scope refresh From S$3,800 Two to three rooms of paint with light carpentry, fittings and lighting swap. Useful before tenant turnover or a quick pre-sale tidy-up.
Whole-flat light refresh From S$6,800 Full-flat paint plus light carpentry, lighting and hardware updates. A common path for resale takeover before moving in.
Single-zone rebuild From S$9,800 Focused rebuild of one kitchen or one bathroom, or a partial flooring change across main rooms.
Dual wet-area upgrade From S$15,800 Kitchen and bathroom basic upgrade with selected flooring and finishes. A typical mid-range family path.
Core family renovation From S$22,800 Common family path combining kitchen, bathroom, flooring and selected carpentry for a 3-room or 4-room HDB.
Standard full-flat package From S$32,800 Typical 4-room or 5-room HDB package with kitchen, bathroom, flooring and built-in carpentry for main rooms.
Premium full-flat custom From S$48,800 Larger or more custom HDB scope with full built-in carpentry, older-flat rectification and higher material grade.

A S$10 fuel surcharge applies to every visit. No additional standard call-out or inspection fee applies. Urgent service or a customer-requested appointment time adds one S$30 fee, subject to technician availability and confirmation. The S$30 is a separate service fee. Pricing terms.

Room renovation and material cost drivers

Today's Singapore queries ask about one-room renovation and material costs, so separate these from full-flat scope before comparing quotes.

One-room refresh

Painting, wall repair, flooring touch-up, lighting and one built-in can be priced as a room-level scope without implying a full-flat renovation.

Material grade

Tile or vinyl flooring, laminate or plywood carpentry, countertop choice, hardware and paint system can widen otherwise similar room budgets. If cabinet work is the main cost driver, the kitchen cabinet cost guide for Singapore prices laminate from S$380/ft against plywood and solid wood.

Wet works and hidden condition

Hacking, waterproofing, plumbing or electrical updates and resale-flat rectification should be shown separately from visible finish upgrades.

HDB Renovation Cost FAQ

What affects HDB renovation cost most?

Kitchen, bathroom, flooring, carpentry level and hidden-condition rectification usually affect the total most.

Why do resale HDB budgets widen faster than BTO?

Older units often need more rectification, wet-area work and electrical or plumbing updates before style upgrades start.

Should I price carpentry separately from renovation?

Usually yes. Separating built-in carpentry helps keep the HDB budget more transparent.
