How Much Does HDB Flooring Cost in Singapore? Complete 2026 Price Guide

Singapore HDB flat living room with new LVT vinyl flooring in warm oak finish, a common flooring renovation in 2026

For a 4-room HDB flat (typically 75–90 sqm), an LVT vinyl overlay runs S$2,800 to S$4,200, and a full tile floor is quoted per project once we have measured the flat. LVT vinyl overlay is the 2026 sweet spot: waterproof, one-day install, no hacking required. Use the calculator below to get an instant estimate for your flat.

Flooring Price Per Square Foot: All Six LN Series

"Price per square foot" is the number that actually lets you compare quotes, because it strips out flat size and lets you check contractors against each other on the same basis. Every LN vinyl series is supply-and-install, 0.5mm wear layer, 25-year material warranty:

SeriesStylePrice per sqft
LN CoreClassic wood plank, 5mmS$3.20
LN NWood plank with Nano Silver layer, 5mmS$3.50
LN KoreaKorean-made wood grain, 5mmS$4.00
LN Urban StoneMatt marble & stone look, 5mmS$4.00 – S$4.40
LN H (Herringbone)Pre-cut herringbone pattern, 5mmS$4.90
LN UltraThickest LN plank, 6.5mmS$4.80

Porcelain tile has no published per-sqft rate, on purpose: the tile you choose, the format and the state of the existing floor all move the number, so we measure on site and quote per project. See current rates on our full LVT product catalogue.

Total Cost for a 4-Room HDB (~860 sqft / 75–90 sqm)

Supply and installation only. Skirting, hacking and debris removal are quoted separately. Tile is not shown here because we do not publish a tile rate: the tile you choose, the format and the state of the existing floor all move the number, so we quote it per project after a site measure. See the range on our tile supply and installation page. Laminate is included as a market reference point only — LN does not supply or install laminate.

Overlay or Full Hack? Choose Your Method

This is the biggest decision that moves your budget. Overlay skips hacking entirely: one day, no noise, and typically 40–50% cheaper than a full tile job.

Lay new LVT vinyl directly over existing tiles, with no removal needed. Suitable for most HDB flats where tiles are sound and level.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 4-room HDB is typically 75–90 sqm. LVT vinyl overlay costs S$2,800–S$4,200 for that size, needs no hacking, and is done in one day. A porcelain tile floor is quoted per project after a site measure, because the tile you choose, the format and the state of the existing floor all change the number, and hacking is itemised separately.

Yes, and the gap is significant. LVT vinyl overlay runs S$3.20–S$4.90 psf. Tile is quoted per project rather than off a published rate, but it costs more in every case, because the floor has to be hacked or screeded first, the labour is slower and the job runs days instead of one. Tile is still the right call for wet areas and for owners who want that finish, and we install it either way.

Laminate at S$3–S$5.50 psf is the cheapest on the Singapore market, but it is not waterproof, and LN Flooring does not supply it. LVT vinyl overlay from S$3.20 psf is comparable in price and is 100% waterproof, which makes it better value for most HDB homeowners.

Hacking cost varies based on floor area, tile thickness and site conditions. It is always itemised separately, not bundled into the flooring rate. Without hacking, a full 4-room LVT overlay takes 1 day. With hacking, the job takes 5–7 days (furniture-free) or 1–2 weeks if furniture needs to be managed around. HDB restricts hacking to weekdays 9am–5pm.

Yes. Watch for skirting (always quoted separately), high-floor surcharge (S$150–S$400), door trimming (S$30–S$80 per door), debris disposal (varies by volume for hacking jobs), and self-levelling compound (S$1–S$2 psf if floors are uneven). Always get a fully itemised quote before signing.
