Quick Answer
Bathrooms and toilets are priced as a fixed package, not per surface. Toilet Refresh is $199 with a 3-month warranty and Toilet Protection Pro is $400 with a 12-month warranty. Pipe painting is an optional +$80. Small jobs are $120 per visit for silicone change per toilet, or wardrobe, vanity or cabinet treatment.

Weak Areas We See Most
Wall–ceiling junction (cornice line)
Vapour rises and condenses at the highest cold surface. The 1–2 cm band where wall meets ceiling is the universal first failure point in any Singapore bathroom.
Behind toilet cistern
The wall directly behind the cistern is the coldest surface in the room (cold inlet water cooling the wall). Hidden from view; first noticed when the wallpaper-style finish bubbles or smells.
Silicone joint at floor-trap perimeter
Silicone is hydrophobic on top but mould eats the surfactant additives over time. Black silicone discolouration is mould — replacing the silicone is faster than treating it.
Ventilation fan grille
Fan body sweats, dust glues to grille, mould colonises. Most owners have never cleaned the fan — it's the single highest-spore-emission surface in the bathroom.
Shower screen frame underside
Aluminium frames hold a tiny condensation reservoir. The underside of the bottom horizontal frame member is a perpetual mould zone in heavy-use bathrooms.
Detection Difficulties
- Black grout that bleach lightens but doesn't whiten = grout body colonised, not surface — needs replacement or epoxy overlay
- Pink/orange film around shower base = Serratia/Aureobasidium (yeast-like, not true mould) — different cleaning protocol
- Recurring spot in same place after every paint = ventilation issue, not paint failure
- Mould only at top of walls = ventilation undersized; at bottom of walls = capillary moisture from floor
- Visible mould inside fan grille = whole-bathroom spore source — clean fan during job, not separately
Removal Challenges
- Bleach without subsequent sealer = guaranteed recurrence within 60 days
- Painting over without antimicrobial pre-treatment = recurrence in 90–180 days regardless of paint quality
- Silicone replacement requires 48-hour bathroom dry-out before reseal — quoted into job timeline
- Anti-mould paint requires fully cured substrate (5–7 days post-prep in Singapore humidity) — rushed cures are a top warranty-rejection cause
- Toilet pipe treatment is part of both packages — pipework is a hidden condensation and spore source
What Drives the Cost
- Package choice: Toilet Refresh ($199, Gush Core, 3-month warranty) vs Toilet Protection Pro ($400, Pico X Bathroom Pro, 12-month warranty)
- Bathroom size: 3 m² powder room vs 8 m² master bath — larger bathrooms are confirmed on photo triage
- Substrate prep: paint-over-paint vs full strip-back to plaster
- Extras: silicone change ($120/job), vanity or cabinet treatment ($120/job), pipe painting (+$80)
- Number of bathrooms treated in one visit — multi-bathroom scopes are quoted together
Toilet Refresh vs Toilet Protection Pro — what you actually get
Pico X Bathroom Pro creates a less porous, moisture-resistant surface, so mould is less likely to penetrate the cement and it is generally easier to clean. It is not waterproofing — humidity, condensation and hidden water seepage still have to be controlled.
Choose Toilet Refresh for a straightforward reset of a lightly affected bathroom. Choose Toilet Protection Pro for heavy-use family bathrooms, master baths and bathrooms where mould keeps coming back — the 12-month warranty covers the harder-working surface. Both are booked from the Toilet Refresh & Protection Pro page.
- Toilet Refresh ($199): Step 1 Pico X Mouldicide treatment, Step 2 Gush MouldSeal sealer, Step 3 Gush Core finish coat. Includes toilet pipe treatment, furniture and flooring protection, post-service recovery cleaning. 3-month warranty, about 3 hours on site.
- Toilet Protection Pro ($400): Exactly the same three steps — only Step 3 changes to the Pico X Bathroom Pro finish coat. 12-month warranty.
- Optional on either: pipe painting +$80.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is $199 the floor for bathroom work?
Below $199 you are paying for cosmetic improvement, not remediation. The Toilet Refresh package buys a real protocol: mouldicide treatment that kills the colony at the substrate (bleach only lightens it), a Gush MouldSeal sealer coat, a Gush Core finish coat, and toilet pipe treatment — with a 3-month warranty behind it.
What is the difference between the $199 and $400 packages?
Only the finish coat and the warranty. Both run the same three steps and both include toilet pipe treatment. Toilet Refresh ($199) finishes with Gush Core and carries a 3-month warranty; Toilet Protection Pro ($400) finishes with Pico X Bathroom Pro — a less porous, moisture-resistant, easier-to-clean surface — and carries a 12-month warranty.
Will it come back?
If we treat the cause (ventilation, sealer, substrate prep), no — that's why both packages carry a warranty (3 months on Toilet Refresh, 12 months on Toilet Protection Pro). If we're asked to spot-treat without addressing ventilation or substrate, we'll quote it but say upfront that recurrence is likely.
Should I just change the silicone instead?
If the only issue is mouldy silicone, yes — our $120-per-visit silicone change for one toilet is the right scope. The same fixed visit price applies to wardrobe, vanity or cabinet treatment. There is no trip or transport charge.
Why a WhatsApp photo quote instead of a paid inspection?
For 80% of cases, three photos (close-up, mid, room context) plus the affected area in m² is enough to scope honestly. We only quote a paid inspection when the cause is structurally hidden — inter-flat condensation, suspected concealed leak, or HVAC-borne contamination — and we tell you upfront before charging.
Do bathroom packages come with a warranty?
Yes. Toilet Refresh carries a 3-month warranty and Toilet Protection Pro carries a 12-month warranty on the treated bathroom. Warranty excludes seepage, structural defects and new water ingress events. See full terms at /warranty.
