HDB vs condo vs landed
HDB
Usually at the lower end. Most HDB basins use a standard bottle trap into the wall or floor, and plain PVC is common.
Condo
Wall-hung basins with the trap on show often use chrome, which costs more. Designer basins may need a specific trap.
Landed
Similar per trap. Doing all the basins in one visit is cheaper per trap.
Bottle trap replacement price: common questions
Why is a new trap cheaper when it is changed during a choke visit?
The plumber is already there and the trap is already off, so the extra cost is mainly the part and a few minutes. As a guide, a new trap during a basin choke clearing adds about $20–40.
Is a chrome trap worth the extra cost?
It looks neater on show under a wall-hung basin and is less likely to crack if knocked. PVC works just as well hidden inside a pedestal or vanity, and costs less.
