1st Prize Home DIY is a houseware and hardware store located in the basement of Parkway Parade shopping centre. The store specialises in plumbing services and bathroom stainless steel accessories, catering to everyday household repair and fixture needs.
Beyond plumbing, 1st Prize Home DIY retails a wide range of practical household items, including bulbs, light tubes, batteries, locks, electrical accessories, and general hardware products, making it a stop for the kind of small fixes and replacements that come up around the home.
Tucked into the basement of Parkway Parade shopping centre, 1st Prize Home DIY is the kind of practical, no-frills store that solves a very specific problem: the small household fixes and replacements that don't fit neatly into a regular grocery run or furniture shop.
1st Prize Home DIY specialises in plumbing services and bathroom stainless steel accessories, making it a go-to for anyone dealing with a leaking tap, a fitting that needs replacing, or bathroom hardware that's seen better days. Beyond plumbing, the store carries a wide retail range covering bulbs, light tubes, batteries, locks, electrical accessories, and general household and hardware products — the everyday items that tend to run out or break down unexpectedly.
The store sits at #B1-23/24, on the basement level of Parkway Parade, and is open daily from 10:30am to 9:30pm — a long, consistent window that makes it easy to swing by whether you're doing an errand before work or after an evening at the mall. It can be reached directly at 6344 0685.
Parkway Parade offers 1,184 car lots spread across six levels, with two carpark entrances — Entrance A from Marine Parade Central and Entrance B from Marine Parade Road. Parking uses an Electronic Parking System (EPS), and each level is colour-coded to help drivers relocate their car easily. Rates run S$1.75 for the first hour and S$0.44 per subsequent 15 minutes between 2am and 5.59pm, and a flat S$3.49 per entry from 6pm to 1.59am (all inclusive of GST). If you're picking up bulkier hardware or planning a longer shopping trip involving a trolley, parking on one of the flat levels (P4 to P7) makes for easier access than the ramped levels.
Parkway Parade has built in a reasonable amount of accessibility infrastructure around the centre. Designated disabled parking lots are available on levels P4, P5, P6, and P7, next to the lifts, and handicapped washrooms are located on basement one and levels one through three. The mall's Concierge, on level two, also runs a hearing enhancement system that transmits sound signals directly to shoppers with hearing impairments, cutting out background noise interference. Families will also find dedicated family parking lots on P4 through P7, and nursing rooms are available from basement one up to level three.
If you need directions to the store or general assistance while at Parkway Parade, the Concierge desk on level two is the place to go — staff there can help with store directions, gift vouchers, and lost and found enquiries. The desk's daily operating hours run from 11.30am to 9pm, with vouchers redeemable or purchasable up until 8.30pm.
1st Prize Home DIY isn't the kind of store people plan a whole outing around, but that's rather the point — it's there for the moment you realise you need a new lock, a replacement bulb, or a plumbing fitting while you're already at Parkway Parade for something else. Between its long daily hours and its basement-level location just off the carpark, it's built to be a convenient, no-fuss stop for exactly those kinds of errands.
