HDB vs condo vs landed
HDB
Usually at the lower end. Basin pipes are short and most chokes are in the stopper or bottle trap.
Condo
Similar to HDB. Vanity cabinets with hidden traps can add a little time. Inform management first if your condo requires it.
Landed
Similar for the basin itself. It only costs more when the choke is in a long branch or the underground pipe.
Wash basin choke price: common questions
Is it cheaper to replace the bottle trap than to clean it?
Cleaning is usually enough. Replacement makes sense when the trap is cracked, corroded or will not seal after being opened, and adds roughly $20–40 for a basic trap.
Does my town council have a cheaper handyman service for basin chokes?
Some town councils run handyman services with set rates for simple jobs in HDB flats. Services and rates differ, so check with your own town council.
Why was a transport fee added to the clearing price?
Some plumbers quote the clearing price alone and add transport, typically $10–30, while others quote all-in. Ask which it is before the visit.
