Updated October 2026How we rank

Vinyl or SPC flooring in Singapore typically costs about $4–$10 per sq ft installed and can be laid over existing tiles, avoiding hacking. Hacking out old floors costs about $3–$8 per sq ft extra and needs an HDB permit in HDB flats, so overlaying is often the cheaper route for resale flats.

What licence should a flooring specialist have?

How to choose a flooring specialist

Decide whether to overlay or hack: vinyl, SPC and overlay tiles avoid hacking costs, noise and permits, but raise floor level slightly and need a sound, level base.
Ask for the product brand, thickness and wear layer for vinyl or SPC, and the warranty on both product and installation.
For wet areas, choose waterproof materials; engineered wood and parquet are unsuitable for kitchens and toilets.
Check door clearance after overlaying; doors may need trimming, which should be included in the quote.
Compare quotes on the same measured area, including skirting and transition strips.

Questions about flooring in Singapore

How much does vinyl flooring cost in Singapore?

Installed vinyl or SPC flooring typically costs about $4–$10 per sq ft in 2026. For a 600 sq ft 4-room flat that works out to roughly $2,400–$6,000 before skirting. Because it can be laid over existing tiles, you usually avoid hacking costs of $3–$8 per sq ft and the HDB permit that hacking requires.

Do I need a permit to change flooring in an HDB flat?

Yes, if you are removing or replacing the existing floor finish or raising the floor level. Those works need HDB approval and must be carried out by a contractor in HDB's Directory of Renovation Contractors, who applies for the permit. Laying loose or click-lock flooring over existing tiles generally does not involve hacking, but confirm with your contractor.

Is SPC better than vinyl?

SPC (stone plastic composite) is a rigid vinyl with a stone-polymer core, so it is more dent-resistant and more tolerant of slightly uneven floors than flexible vinyl. Both are waterproof. SPC usually costs a little more. Check the wear layer thickness, which determines how well the surface resists scratches.
