A toilet seat is not a new bowl and not a Washlet
Replacing a cracked plastic seat is quote on inspection. An electronic bidet seat on an existing socket is S$120 to S$180. A whole WELS bowl is S$380 to S$550. Those are different products. Do not average them.

How it works
- 1
Send one photo per task on WhatsApp, with the block and whether the home is HDB, condo, or landed.
- 2
We match each task to a published band, or we say quote on inspection.
- 3
You confirm the scope before anyone comes. Licensed work and permit work are named, not folded into the hour.
- 4
The fitting is repaired and tested. Parts that a row does not include stay off the invoice.
What this job actually is
Toilet seats fail at the bolts and the dampers. A yellowed or cracked seat is a small part on the bowl you already have. This catalogue does not price that plastic seat. Quote on inspection after a photo of the hinge holes and the bowl shape. Round bowls and D-shaped bowls are not the same seat. A seat that almost fits will rock, and the rock cracks the next seat. Measure or send the photo. Do not buy three seats to see.
An electronic bidet seat is the priced neighbour. On an existing socket it is S$120 to S$180 on the bidet page, with the water tee described there. A new bathroom power point with the seat is S$260 to S$480. That is not a S$30 plastic seat plus a socket story. If you want a Washlet or a similar seat, use the bidet page. If you want a non-electric seat, stay here and accept quote on inspection. Mixing the two is how a simple seat becomes an electrical job nobody mentioned.
A cracked bowl is not a seat. The toilet page prices a WELS bowl, supplied and set on the existing outlet, at S$380 to S$550. A rocking pan can be the collar, S$260 to S$480, not the seat bolts. Look at whether the china moves. Tightening seat bolts on a moving pan hides the collar leak until the flat below stains. Send a photo of the base, not only the lid.
HDB, condo and landed bowls share the seat sizes and not the access. A condo may need the water off at a riser if we are also changing a valve. The valve set is S$110 to S$180 when it is the spray, hose and brass valve. It is not included in a seat. A concealed cistern that no longer flushes is the flush page, diagnostic S$80 to S$120, not a new seat. People replace seats because the flush is weak. The seat was never the flush.
We will not put a seat on a bowl that is cracked through, and we will not caulk a seat to china to stop a rock. Silicone is not a hinge. If the bolts have rusted into the bowl, say so. Extraction without cracking the china is the point of the visit. A cracked extraction becomes the bowl row, and we will stop and tell you before that happens.

(ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices hacking, a new layout, windows that are not exempt, and the household shelter. Homey Furnishing is not a MOM-licensed employment agency and does not place helpers, nannies or caregivers.
What to do first
- Photo the seat, the bowl shape and the base.
- Say electric or plain.
- If the bowl itself moves, read the collar and bowl rows before you buy a seat.
- Do not caulk the seat down.
- Expect quote on inspection for a non-electric seat.
| What you see | Safe check | Stop |
|---|---|---|
| Plastic seat cracked | Quote on inspection | Not the Washlet band |
| You want a bidet seat and a socket exists | Bidet page | S$120 to S$180 |
| China is cracked or the pan rocks | Bowl or collar row | S$380 to S$550 or S$260 to S$480 |
| Flush is weak | Flush page, not a seat | Concealed diagnostic is S$80 to S$120 |
HDB, condo and landed
The building changes permission. It does not change a band that already has a sentence, and it does not fill a blank.
| Question | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB | A seat on the existing bowl is not a permit. A new waste position is a plumber. | Town council for common property. Weekday drilling. | No town surcharge. |
| Condo | Same seat rules. A shutdown only if the supply is part of a larger plumbing visit. | MCST for noise, water shutdowns and deposits. | Deposit is not our fee. |
| Landed | Same bands. A tall cistern does not create a seat tariff. | No HDB permit. PUB and EMA still apply. | No house hourly rate. |
How you're charged
How you're charged
These four lines are the published handyman charges. A job that already has its own band uses that band. The hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. There is no fuel surcharge.
| Charge | What it covers | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Per hour | Permit-exempt handyman time | S$45/hr |
| Minimum charge | One task on one visit | S$55 |
| Call-out | The same single-task visit. No separate trip fee | S$55 |
| Materials | Parts, unless a job row says they are included | quote on inspection |
Small, medium, and large visits
Times are planning estimates for the work itself. They are not a promise of when someone arrives.
| Size | Example tasks | Planning time |
|---|---|---|
| Small | One generic hinge, tap labour on the existing outlet, or a socket on an existing circuit | Often under an hour |
| Medium | An exposed cistern siphon, one silicone zone, or two or three small tasks on the same visit | About 1 to 3 hours |
| Large | A typical HDB bathroom regrout, a dishwasher bay, or an exposed storage-heater labour visit | Half a day or longer |
What a handyman can't do
What a handyman can't do
Permit-exempt fittings stay on the Homey Furnishing invoice. These do not:
- A new cable, a new circuit, or a consumer unit. That is an EMA licensed electrician. A socket on an existing circuit is the S$55 row. A dedicated appliance circuit stays S$220 to S$450.
- A new or relocated water point, or a hacked chase. That is a PUB licensed plumber. Tap labour on the existing outlet is S$55.
- Piped gas. That is a Licensed Gas Service Worker.
- Hacking, a new layout, or the household shelter. That is an HDB renovation permit through V On Construction Pte. Ltd. UEN 201611708H.
- A hole in a fire-rated door that the fire detail does not allow.
- Common-corridor lights, stacks, and letterbox banks. Those follow the town council on the S&CC bill, or the MCST in a condo.
Handyman vs licensed contractor
| Work | Who does it | What this site prices |
|---|---|---|
| Existing fitting, no new cable or pipe | Handyman visit | S$45/hr, or the job band |
| One small task | Handyman visit | S$55 call-out |
| New circuit or DB | EMA licensed electrician | S$220 to S$450 for a dedicated circuit, or the DB bands |
| New water point | PUB licensed plumber | quote on inspection |
| Hacking or a new layout | HDB permit, V On Construction | quote on inspection |
Ways to keep the bill smaller
Ways to keep the bill smaller
- Put several tasks on one visit. The S$55 call-out is one task. Extra permit-exempt time is S$45 an hour, not a second trip.
- Buy the part when the row is labour only. Tap labour is S$55. Toilet-bowl labour is S$168. Instant-heater labour is S$108 to S$260. Exposed storage-heater labour is S$188 to S$380.
- Send the photos first, so the reply can use a published band instead of a vague hour.
WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630.
Price, or quote on inspection
Published rows only. A missing row is quote on inspection, not a rounded guess.
| Scope already published | 2026 band in the repo | Where it lives |
|---|---|---|
| Electronic bidet seat on an existing socket | S$120 to S$180 | Bidet installation |
| Bidet seat plus a new bathroom power point | S$260 to S$480 | Bidet installation |
| WELS toilet bowl, supplied and set on the existing outlet | S$380 to S$550 | Toilet bowl repair |
| Plain non-electric toilet seat | quote on inspection | No catalogue row |
Anything not in that table is quote on inspection. A second trade, when the law requires one, is named. It is not folded into a handyman hour.
WhatsApp the photos to +65 8561 0630. The reply uses a band already printed on HomeySG, or it says quote on inspection. It does not invent a third number in the chat.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much to replace a toilet seat?
A plain seat is quote on inspection. An electronic bidet seat on an existing socket is S$120 to S$180. A new bowl is S$380 to S$550 if it is the WELS set on the existing outlet.
Is a Washlet a seat replacement?
It is the bidet page, not this plastic-seat visit. Power and water are part of that scope.
The bowl rocks. Will a new seat fix it?
No. A rocking pan is often the collar, S$260 to S$480, or a bowl that needs replacement.
Do you need an HDB permit?
Not for a seat on the existing bowl. Moving the waste is a PUB licensed plumber and may be a permit.
