Our vinyl flooring Singapore price is set by HDB flat size, not by the square foot. Our Bare Unit BTO vinyl packages start at S$12,990 for a 3-room flat (up to 500 sqft of vinyl), S$14,990 for a 4-room (700 sqft) and S$15,990 for a 5-room (800 sqft).

Each of those prices buys a full package, not flooring alone. The vinyl is 5mm luxury vinyl tile (LVT) with a click system, laid in the living/dining area and bedrooms, and the same package also covers floor screed, a 10ft kitchen, painting and cleaning. Resale flats have their own package lines, priced higher because they include kitchen and toilet works. The table below lists every vinyl package by flat size with the area it covers.

Prices are as listed on our product pages on 1 November 2026, and each one links to its full scope of works. The area shown is the vinyl area each package covers.

Package (vinyl) 3-room 4-room 5-room
Bare Unit BTO, Most Popular S$12,990, 500 sqft S$14,990, 700 sqft S$15,990, 800 sqft
Bare Unit BTO, Premium S$13,990, 500 sqft S$15,990, 700 sqft S$16,990, 800 sqft
Whole House BTO Resale, Most Popular S$22,990, 500 sqft S$23,990, 700 sqft S$24,990, 800 sqft
Whole House Resale, Most Popular S$28,990, 500 sqft S$30,199, 700 sqft S$31,290, 900 sqft
Whole House Resale, Premium S$30,490, 500 sqft S$31,880, 700 sqft S$32,990, 900 sqft

Three things stand out. There is no per-square-foot price, because every vinyl product in our store is a package. The vinyl area is a cap: if your living/dining area and bedrooms add up to more, ask what the extra costs before you sign.

Finally, the gap between the BTO and resale lines is not the vinyl. Every line lays 5mm LVT; the resale prices are higher because of the kitchen and toilet works that come with them.

If you are not sure how many square feet your rooms cover, our HDB room size guide helps, and your floor plan settles it. For other packages, see the HDB renovation price list.

What the Vinyl Price Covers in Each Package

In short: 5mm LVT in the living area and bedrooms, skirting, and other works that differ by package line.

The vinyl itself

All vinyl packages supply and install 5mm LVT. The Bare Unit BTO and Whole House Resale product pages describe it as a click system. The Whole House BTO Resale pages give the thickness but not the fixing method, so ask. How the vinyl is fixed matters for the HDB rules further down.

In the Bare Unit BTO packages the vinyl goes into the living/dining area and bedrooms. Both resale lines put it in the living area and all bedrooms. No package lays vinyl in the kitchen or toilets; in the resale lines those areas are tiled.

Skirting: Most Popular vs Premium

The Most Popular bare-unit tier comes with free PVC skirting. The Premium bare-unit tier gives vinyl skirting instead. In the Whole House Resale line, the Premium tier hacks the old skirting first and then fits vinyl skirting. Premium also upgrades some fittings, such as a 3-burner Rinnai hob in the 4-room bare-unit package.

Compare the two product pages line by line before you pay for the higher tier.

Floor screed in bare-unit packages

The Bare Unit BTO packages include floor screed, up to 50mm high, over the same rooms and area as the vinyl. The resale packages list no screed, because a resale flat already has a finished floor.

What else is in, and what is not

Every vinyl package also includes a 10ft top and bottom kitchen cabinet with a quartz countertop, whole-house painting in Nippon Vinilex with a Matex white ceiling, hood and heater points, and project management with on-site supervision. The Bare Unit BTO packages include no toilet works, and their plumbing covers only the sink, tap and heater installation. The Whole House Resale package lists no wardrobes, and its door work is a PD slide-and-swing door only. A quote that includes bathrooms, wardrobes or rewiring is a different scope.

Vinyl Flooring for a New BTO: Bare Unit Vinyl or Tiles

For HDB BTO vinyl flooring in a new 4-room flat, the vinyl bare-unit package costs S$2,000 less than the tiled one. The 4-room Bare Unit BTO package with vinyl is S$14,990. The 4-room Bare Unit BTO package with tiles is S$16,990 and lays 600x600 floor tiles over the same 700 sqft, with free skirting, using tiles priced at S$3.00 per sqft or lower.

Both packages cover the same 700 sqft, kitchen and painting, so the choice comes down to the floor you want. Our view: if you like the look of vinyl and want the lower price, take the vinyl package for your flat size, then check that its stated area covers your living/dining area and every bedroom. If you prefer tiles in the living area, price the tiled version. The trade-offs, laminate included, are in our vinyl vs tiles vs laminate guide for HDB flats.

Vinyl Flooring for a Resale HDB: Overlay or Hacking Package

In a resale flat the vinyl is the same in both package lines. What you are really choosing is how the kitchen and toilets are treated.

Whole House BTO Resale: overlay the wet areas

The 4-room Whole House BTO Resale package at S$23,990 overlays new tiles on the kitchen floor and walls and on the floor and walls of both toilets. The same package lays 700 sqft of 5mm vinyl in the living area and all bedrooms. Overlaying suits wet areas where the existing tiles are still sound.

Whole House Resale: hack the wet areas

The 4-room Whole House Resale package at S$30,199 hacks the floor and wall tiles in the kitchen and both toilets, lays a waterproofing membrane, then retiles them. It also includes hood and heater points, a PD slide-and-swing door and the same 700 sqft of vinyl. Look at this line when the toilets leak, the tiles are hollow or you want the wet areas redone. The 5-room version covers 900 sqft of vinyl.

If you would rather not have vinyl

We also sell a 4-room Whole House Resale hacking package from S$36,990. This package also hacks the old floor tiles in the living/dining area and bedrooms, then lays new 600x600 tiles over 700 sqft, so it has no vinyl.

Our recommendation for a resale flat: choose between overlay and hacking by the condition of the kitchen and toilets, not by the flooring, because the vinyl does not change. Compare all three in the 4-room BTO resale packages and 4-room resale packages, or start from our 4-room resale page. For a bigger flat, our 5-room hacking vs overlay guide covers the same choice, and our HDB resale renovation cost guide covers the full budget.

HDB Rules for Vinyl Flooring

Laying vinyl flooring in an HDB flat does not need a renovation permit. HDB's building-works guidelines list vinyl, carpet and linoleum as permit-free work, and that row lists no conditions (HDB, 2026). Two other rows on that page can still apply to vinyl: glued overlays and the household shelter, both below.

Floor finishes glued over existing finishes

HDB treats laying a new floor finish over an old one with adhesive as its own item. It needs no permit, but these conditions apply (HDB, 2026):

  • The floor may carry only one existing layer, counting the cement screed, before the new one goes on.
  • The new finish and its adhesive together may be at most 13mm thick.
  • The floor trap must not be touched.
  • The work must not cause backflow or seepage sideways into the bedroom.

Our bare-unit and Whole House Resale packages list a click system, not an adhesive. If a contractor quotes you a glued product over existing tiles, these are the conditions to ask about.

Replacing tiles

Replacing existing floor tiles, such as ceramic, homogeneous or marble, does need a permit, and the finish plus screed may not exceed 50mm in total thickness (HDB, 2026). That rule applies to a hacking package, not to vinyl laid on top.

Household shelter

The household shelter (HS) follows SCDF guidelines published on the same HDB page. Vinyl or linoleum in the HS needs no permit, but floor finishes in the HS may not be laid with adhesive, and a second layer of floor finish is not allowed there (HDB, 2026). These limits apply to the HS only, and our packages list the living area and bedrooms, not the HS.

Toilets in a new BTO

Newly built flats carry a 3-year restriction on removing the finishes on bathroom and toilet walls and floors. Replacing toilet floor finishes is allowed, with a permit, once three years have passed from the date the block was completed (HDB, 2026).

Who may do the work

Under HDB's Renovation Control Rules 2006, flat owners may only use contractors listed in the Directory of Renovation Contractors (DRC), and the owner stays responsible for making sure the work follows HDB guidelines (HDB, 2026). Our product pages describe RCS as HDB licensed and BCA registered. Check any contractor in the directory before you pay a deposit, us included.

How to Compare a Vinyl Flooring Quote

Compare vinyl quotes by total price and stated area, never by the per-square-foot rate alone. A low rate means little if the quoted area is bigger than your rooms. Check these points on every quote before you sign:

  • Total price and area. Ask for the vinyl area in square feet, written next to the total. Check it against your floor plan.
  • Which rooms. Living/dining and bedrooms only, or the store room and HS too? Our packages name the rooms; a quote should as well.
  • Product and thickness. Click or glued, and how thick. Glued vinyl over existing tiles brings in HDB's 13mm and one-layer conditions.
  • Skirting. PVC or vinyl, included or extra, and whether the old skirting is hacked first.
  • Floor preparation. In a bare unit, is screed included and up to what height? In a resale flat, is anything hacked, or is the vinyl laid over the existing floor?
  • What else the price buys. A package that also covers a kitchen and painting is not comparable to a flooring-only quote.
  • The contractor. Check the name in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors.

We have no vinyl-only product, so if you only need flooring, a flooring-only contractor may suit you better.

Vinyl Flooring Price: Common Questions

How much is vinyl flooring for a 3-room HDB?

For a new 3-room BTO, the Bare Unit BTO vinyl package is S$12,990 for up to 500 sqft of vinyl, or S$13,990 on Premium. For a 3-room resale flat, the Whole House BTO Resale package is S$22,990 and the Whole House Resale package is S$28,990, both with 500 sqft of vinyl.

How much is vinyl flooring for a 5-room HDB?

For a new 5-room BTO, our Bare Unit BTO vinyl package is S$15,990 for up to 800 sqft, or S$16,990 on Premium. For a 5-room resale flat, the Whole House BTO Resale package is S$24,990 (800 sqft) and the Whole House Resale package is S$31,290 (900 sqft). Each price is a full package, including kitchen and painting, not flooring alone.

How much is vinyl flooring for a 4-room BTO?

The 4-room Bare Unit BTO package with vinyl is S$14,990 and covers up to 700 sqft of 5mm click vinyl in the living spaces and bedrooms, with screed underneath and PVC skirting. The Premium tier is S$15,990 with vinyl skirting, and the tiled version is S$16,990.

Can HDB vinyl flooring go over existing tiles?

Laying vinyl needs no HDB permit. Gluing it over existing tiles is a separate HDB item with its own conditions: only one existing layer, screed included; a 13mm maximum, adhesive included; and no tampering with the floor trap. In the household shelter, adhesive and a second floor layer are not allowed. Our Whole House Resale vinyl packages list a click system and no hacking of the living and bedroom floors.

Can I buy vinyl flooring only from RCS?

No. Every vinyl product in our store is a renovation package, and we do not have a per-square-foot vinyl price. If you only need flooring, a flooring-only contractor may suit you better. If the flooring is part of a bigger job, start from the package for your flat type in the price table above.

Get a Quote for Your Flat

Pick the package for your flat type in the table above, then get a quote. Bring your floor plan, your key collection date and a list of the works you want. We will tell you which package fits and whether its vinyl area covers your rooms. That way the vinyl flooring Singapore price you compare is a total for your own flat.

If you are still viewing resale flats, our hourly consultation (S$150 per hour) brings someone along to look at the unit before you commit. Read more about RCS or visit our home page.

Prices and scope are taken from the RCS product pages on 1 November 2026 and can change; check the product page and your written quote before you book. The final scope depends on your flat and on HDB approval where a permit applies.

Correction, 1 November 2026: an earlier version of this page said the bare-unit packages include both bathrooms and all electrical and plumbing works, and that the resale package includes vinyl throughout, custom wardrobes, all doors and electrical upgrades. It gave resale packages as starting from S$30,199, when lower-priced resale vinyl packages are listed. It also merged two HDB rows, presenting the glued-overlay item and its 13mm limit as the rule for vinyl while leaving out that item's one-existing-layer and floor-trap conditions, and dated the toilet restriction from the TOP rather than from block completion. Scope and prices above now come from the live product pages, and the rules from HDB's building-works guidelines. Warranty, timeline, lifespan, humidity and product-spec figures that had no source, and credentials we could not verify, have been removed.
