Renovating a resale flat is more complex than a BTO — and that’s where the right ID matters.
You’re not starting from scratch, you’re rebuilding on top of what’s already there: outdated tiles, old fittings, worn plumbing, and poor space planning.
Most resale renovations involve:
• Hacking of old tiles and built-ins
• Rewiring and electrical upgrades
• Waterproofing & tiling for toilets
• Plumbing reroutes and fixture replacement
• New carpentry for storage, kitchen, and wardrobes
These flats may be older — but they give you more space, mature estate locations, and the freedom to fully reimagine the layout. At Renomoji, we help you find renovation firms who’ve done this many times — delivering quality work without overcharging.
Here’s what most resale flat homeowners typically spend in Singapore:

Got questions? Here are the answers homeowners ask us most before starting their renovation.
Because there’s extra work involved — like hacking, rewiring, waterproofing, and dismantling old fixtures. But the results can be transformative.
Not always. Some homeowners choose to overlay tiles or keep existing ones if they’re in good condition. Your ID will advise based on condition and design goals.
It’s not recommended. For full resale renovations, it’s better to wait until everything is done — especially if hacking and wet works are involved.
Typically 8–10 weeks, depending on the scope and approvals. Maisonette and full-unit overhauls may take longer.
Yes, if they’re in good condition. Many homeowners keep selected items to save cost. Just highlight this during your quotation request.
