Leaking pipes, dripping taps, choked sinks, running toilets and faulty water heaters. We find the source of the problem and fix it so it stays fixed.
A small drip under the sink or a damp patch on the ceiling rarely stays small. Water finds its way into cabinets, walls, skirting and the unit below, and repairs get more expensive the longer it is left. Swollen cabinet boards, peeling paint and mould are all common results of a leak that was ignored. MK Renovation handles everyday plumbing in HDB flats, condominiums, landed homes and commercial units across Singapore. We repair and replace taps, mixers and shower sets, fix leaking pipes and joints, clear choked sinks and floor traps, repair toilet bowls and cisterns, install basins and sinks, and install storage and instant water heaters. Our approach is to find the real source of the problem before fixing anything. A leak that shows up in one place often starts somewhere else, so we trace it properly instead of patching the symptom. That way the repair lasts, and you are not calling a plumber again a few weeks later. During renovation, we also reroute water and waste pipes for new kitchen and bathroom layouts. We coordinate with our tiling team so the finished floor has the right gradient and drains properly, and with our electrical team when a water heater or appliance needs its own point. If tiles or walls must be opened to reach a concealed pipe, we keep the opening as small as possible and restore the area afterwards. You deal with one team from the first message to a dry, finished floor.

Leaking pipe and joint repair
Repair of leaking concealed and exposed pipes and joints in kitchens, bathrooms and service areas. We replace the damaged section properly instead of wrapping it in tape.
Tap, mixer and shower installation
Installation and replacement of kitchen taps, basin mixers and bathroom shower sets. We check water pressure and seal every connection to prevent drips.
Toilet bowl and cistern repair
Fixing cisterns that keep running, leaks at the base of the bowl and weak flushing. If the bowl is cracked or worn out, we replace it with a new one.
Choked sink and floor trap
Clearing blockages in kitchen sinks, basins and bathroom floor traps caused by grease, hair and soap. We also check the pipe gradient if the drain chokes often.
Water heater installation
Installation of storage and instant water heaters, including the water connection and electrical point. Everything is tested for leaks and safe operation before we leave.
Pipe replacement
Replacement of old, corroded or leaking pipes, which is common in older resale flats. New pipes improve water flow and reduce the risk of hidden leaks.
Basin and sink installation
Installation of new vanity units, basins and kitchen sinks, with supply and waste connections. Each one is levelled, sealed and tested.
Renovation pipework
Rerouting of water supply and waste pipes for new kitchen and bathroom layouts. Done before tiling so the pipes are hidden and the floor drains correctly.
Fixes that last, not quick patches
We trace where the water is really coming from before opening walls or floors. Water can travel along pipes and slabs, so the stain is not always where the leak is. Finding the true source saves you unnecessary hacking and cost.
We use quality fittings and seal each joint properly. That stops connections from starting to leak again a few months later. A repair should last, not become a repeat call.
Cabinets, floors and nearby items are protected before we start. Water and debris are cleaned up after the job. Your kitchen or bathroom is left ready to use.
Water heaters and some appliances need both plumbing and electrical work. Our team handles both in one visit. You do not need to arrange and coordinate two separate contractors.
If tiles must be opened to reach a concealed pipe, we keep the opening as small as possible. Our tiling team then restores the area. You are not left with a hole or mismatched patch.
We tell you when a simple repair is enough and when replacement is the better choice. For example, an old tap may cost more to keep repairing than to replace. You decide with clear information.
Plumbing in Singapore homes deals with heavy daily use and a hot, humid climate. Over time, rubber seals harden, fittings loosen and drains collect grease, hair and soap. Many problems start small, such as a slow drip or a drain that empties a little slower each week, and get worse if left alone. Catching them early usually means a simpler and cheaper repair. Here is what we see most often in HDB flats, condos and landed homes, and how we handle each one.
Leaks under kitchen sinks usually come from a worn waste connection, a loose supply hose or a failed seal on the tap. Leaks behind walls or above ceilings are harder to spot. Watch for damp patches, peeling paint, a musty smell or a water bill that keeps rising for no clear reason. We isolate the water supply, locate the leak and replace the damaged section of pipe rather than wrapping it in tape. If tiles or plaster need to be opened, we keep the area small and restore it afterwards.
A dripping tap wastes water every hour and can stain your basin or sink over time. Many taps can be repaired by replacing the cartridge or washer, but older taps are often better replaced, especially if parts are hard to find. Weak shower pressure is commonly caused by a blocked shower head, a failing mixer or a partly closed valve. We check the whole line, from the valve to the shower head, before recommending new fittings. That way you only pay for what actually needs changing.
A cistern that refills on its own or keeps running usually has a worn flush valve or inlet valve. Besides the noise, it wastes a surprising amount of water and adds to your utility bill. In most cases, we can repair or replace the internal parts without changing the whole toilet. If the bowl is cracked, wobbly or leaking at the base, we replace it and reseal it properly to the floor. We test the flush several times before we leave.
Kitchen sinks choke with grease and food scraps, while bathroom floor traps collect hair and soap. Chemical drain cleaners may give temporary relief, but they rarely clear the build-up fully and can damage older pipes. We clear the blockage, flush the line and check the pipe gradient. If a drain chokes often, the pipe may be laid at a poor angle or partly damaged, and may need to be re-laid. We will explain what we find and let you decide.
We install storage and instant water heaters, connect the water lines and the electrical point, and test everything before we leave. Choosing the right type depends on your bathroom layout, how many people use it and how much space you have, and we can advise on this. Old heaters that leak, make unusual noises or trip the power should be replaced promptly, as they can be a safety risk. Because our team handles both the plumbing and the electrical work, the whole job is done in one visit. We also show you how to use the new heater safely.

Ceiling stains usually come from the unit above, often from a bathroom floor or a pipe. However, it can also be from pipes running through your own ceiling. We can inspect and advise on the likely source. If the source is in your unit, we repair it, and if it is from above, we can explain what to discuss with your neighbour or management.
Yes. We are happy to install taps and fittings that you supply. If you have not chosen one yet, we can recommend suitable options for your sink or basin. Do check that the new tap matches your existing holes and connections, or send us a photo and we will check for you.
Usually not. Most running toilets just need a new flush valve or inlet valve inside the cistern. This is a common and fairly quick repair. We only recommend replacing the toilet if the bowl is cracked, leaking at the base or the cistern itself is damaged.
Yes. We install both storage and instant water heaters. The job includes the water connection and the electrical point, so you do not need a separate electrician. We test for leaks and safe operation before we leave.
The most common causes are grease build-up inside the pipe or a poor pipe gradient that lets waste settle. Pouring cooking oil down the sink makes this worse over time. We clear the blockage and check whether the pipe needs re-laying. Using a sink strainer and avoiding oil in the drain also helps prevent repeat chokes.
Only if the leak is in a concealed pipe that cannot be reached any other way. We first trace the leak carefully so we know exactly where to open. We open the smallest area possible and restore the tiles afterwards. If you have spare tiles from your renovation, keep them, as they make the repair blend in better.
