Advice on installing hot water source for hand basins

[C3P0]

Hi guys and ladies,

HDB water taps at the bathrooms' hand basins don't come with hot water. But nowadays temperature can be quite low, and the water coming out of these taps can get quite cold too. Anyone has lobangs where to look around for people or shop that can install hot water source like water heater? Or can the taps be linked to the water heater used for bathing?

Hot water would be good for my mum who has arthritis.

Thank u in advance.

Depends on how elaborate you want it. Typically, you have to run one more pipe for hot water from a heater, mostly installed in one of the bathrooms. This new piping process can be ugly and involves knocking out this and that. Any plumbing shop can do it.

Easy way. Keep an pot of warm water for your mum lor.

pipe the hot water source from the bath area and change basin tap to hot+cold water type

robot, just ask eric, ie the hardware/plumbing shop owner opposite my blk next to Singapore Pools will do.
quote my name, tell him Tanglin building Steven and ask for cheaper price cos he's doing the minor plumbing works for my building anyway.
shouldn't cost that much.
