Has your HDB block been picked for HIP? Here is what it means for your home, and your bathroom.

HIP is HDB's Home Improvement Programme. It fixes common problems in older flats, and can give your toilet a full refresh.

It started in 2007, for flats built up to 1986. In 2018, it was extended to flats built up to 1997. Most flats get major upgrading twice in their lease: HIP at around 30 years, and a second round at 60 to 70.

Your block decides together. If at least 75% of eligible citizen households vote yes, HIP goes ahead.

There are three parts. Essential works fix things like spalling concrete and old waste pipes. For citizens, the government pays for these in full. Optional works are your choice: the toilet upgrade, a new main door and gate, and a new refuse chute hopper. EASE adds safety items for seniors, like grab bars and ramps.

The toilet upgrade gives you new floor and wall tiles, new waterproofing, a wash basin, a pedestal pan, a toilet door, a grab bar and a louvred vent.

Citizens pay between 5% and 12.5% of the optional package, depending on flat type. That is about S$600 for a 3-room flat, and about S$1,500 for an executive flat. And you only pay after the works are done, in cash or with CPF, at once or in monthly instalments.

After a successful vote, you have 6 weeks to choose your optional items. Works inside your flat take up to 10 working days, and the whole precinct takes about 14 months.

Here is what many owners miss. You must remove any fittings or cabinets that block the works, at your own cost. And the toilet package does not include any storage.

So plan your new bathroom cabinets for right after HIP. Nothing new has to come down during the works.

HERA vanity cabinets are fully waterproof, from 500 to 800mm wide, from S$711. We can measure your new toilet and recommend what fits.

HERA is not part of HDB, so check your flat's details on HDB's website. Our full guide, with links to HDB, is at herabathroom.com/hip.

🧭 HIP in brief

Read our full guide to HIP for its history, the step-by-step process and a homeowner's checklist.

🚽 What the HIP toilet package includes

According to HDB’s HIP booklet, the optional toilet upgrading package covers a new waterproofing membrane, wash basin, floor and wall tiles, louvred vent, toilet door, grab bar and pedestal pan.

It does not include the storage you will want around them, which is where a vanity or mirror cabinet comes in.

🗓️ Why fit your cabinets after HIP

HDB's booklet says homeowners must remove and reinstate, at their own cost, any fittings, fixtures or cabinets that obstruct the works. Cabinets fitted after your flat's works are finished never have to come down.

You can book a measuring visit before then, so your cabinets are chosen and ready once the new toilet is done.

📐 Planning storage for your new Pasir Ris toilet

A mirror cabinet adds the bathroom storage the HIP toilet package leaves out.

Measure the wall above your new basin. HERA mirror cabinets and open shelves are all 700mm tall, so they line up into one storage wall:

Our vanity cabinets come in 500, 600, 690 and 800mm widths, from S$711. The 60cm vanity measures 596 × 455 × 530mm, sized for standard HDB layouts. All are waterproof PVC with soft-close drawers rated for 30kg.

🪞 More than just a mirror

Our mirror cabinets have 12 built-in features, including a magnifying mirror, power socket, hair dryer holder and tissue box holder. They are waterproof PVC, anti-warp, anti-termite and formaldehyde free.

We come to your home, take measurements and recommend cabinets that suit your space. See the mirror cabinet system and the vanity range.

❓ Questions people ask

Is my Pasir Ris block getting HIP?

The table above lists Pasir Ris's HIP precincts from HDB's open data. For your own block's status, use HDB’s HIP status e-service, or wait for HDB's letter. HERA is not part of HDB and cannot confirm a block's schedule.

When should I order bathroom cabinets?

Have them installed after your flat's HIP works are finished, since anything that blocks the works must be removed at your own cost. You can book a measuring visit earlier so they are ready.

Will a HERA mirror cabinet fit my new HIP toilet?

HERA mirror cabinets come in 500mm and 800mm widths, 700mm tall, and combine with shelves for walls from 350mm to 2 metres. We measure at your home and recommend what fits.
