Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. Every single time.
Trust me, I feel your pain.
After far too many bruised elbows and muttered frustrations, we finally decided to do something about our ridiculously small HDB toilet. And I'm so glad we did.
Here is our honest, no-fluff experience buying and installing a **Slide and Swing Door** from **Renovaid Team**.

## Finding a Trustworthy Door Supplier in Singapore
My journey began with late-night Googling. I typed in things like "space saving toilet door Singapore" and "HDB bathroom door replacement".
That's when I came across Renovaid Team.
At first, I was skeptical. Another home improvement company? But something about them felt different.
They had:
- Proper credentials – BCA registered and Bizsafe certified
- A local factory, not just a middleman
- Over 10 years of experience
- Clear pricing with no hidden costs
After reading reviews and comparing options, we decided to take the plunge.
If you are also searching for quality doors, Renovaid Team has an impressive range of **[bedroom doors](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** too. We were so happy with the toilet door that we came back for more.

## Understanding This "Hybrid" Door
I'll admit – I had no idea what a "slide and swing" door was at first. Is it a sliding door? Is it a swing door?
The friendly team at Renovaid explained it simply:
It slides first to get out of the way, then swings open. The sliding motion means it doesn't need that big clearance arc.
The features that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – This was HUGE for us. Our old bifold door had a track that collected hair, dust, and who-knows-what-else.
- **Space-saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as big now.
- **Modern look** – We chose the grey powder-coated finish.
- **Built for humidity** – Made of aluminium and acrylic, not wood that will swell.
To see what the door actually looks like, **[check out Renovaid Team's slide and swing door page here](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/slide-and-swing-doors.html)** . Way nicer in real life than on screen.

## What It Was Like Dealing with Renovaid Team
Here is a play-by-play of our experience, so you know what to expect.
### First Contact – WhatsApp 9898 9268
I sent a WhatsApp message to 9898 9268. No calls – they are strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
They replied within a few hours. They asked for basic info like door size and HDB type.
A friendly heads-up: Have your measurements ready before you message. Saves a lot of back-and-forth.
### Step 2: Booking the Measurement
They sent a technician to our flat to measure the doorway. The appointment was easy to book – just a few messages back and forth.
On the day of the measurement:
- The technician arrived within the promised 1-2 hour window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel
- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro
Important note: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during measurement. No cheque – we paid via PayNow. And if you change your mind, there's a $40 fee – fair enough, their time best toilet door for hdb isn't free.
Oh, and make sure the person who makes decisions is home – don't send your helper or a family member who can't approve things. We learnt that the hard way!
### Step 3: Waiting for Installation
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take about 3-4 weeks. Ours took 18 working days – right in the middle of the estimate.
I was getting impatient by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth it.
### Step 4: Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message in the evening with a time window for arrival. They gave us a 10am-12pm window.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. He was friendly, wore a uniform, and had all the tools ready.
The whole thing took about an hour and a half. He hauled away our old rotting wooden door (it was disgusting at the bottom), installed the new slide and swing door, and cleaned up after himself.
Before packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing the door to make sure we were happy. He showed us how the mechanism works and how to clean it.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow. Exactly what they quoted.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We are genuinely thrilled with it.**
### What We Love
| Aspect | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space saving** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |
| **No bottom track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My knees are grateful. |
| **How it feels** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Humidity proof** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey finish is stunning. Looks way more expensive than $399. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Waiting period** – 18 days was tough, but they were upfront about it. So order early if you're on a deadline.
- **The $40 fee if you cancel** – Fair, but good to know.
- **Strictly by appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So WhatsApp before you go.
That's literally it. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## What We Paid – No Hidden Costs
The promotion we got was:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
And here is exactly what that $399 included:
- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)
- ✅ Free delivery to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free removal and disposal of the old door
No hidden GST. No extra fees. No surprises.
What they quoted is what we paid. In Singapore renovation terms, that's basically a miracle.
If you need two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – an even better deal.
Just a heads up – this offer ends 31 May 2026, so don't sleep on it if you're thinking about it.

## How We Ended Up Getting Bedroom and Main Doors Too
Here is the funny part – we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up getting Renovaid to replace every door in our house.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap. You could hear everything through them.
We upgraded to solid core laminate doors – and wow, what a difference.
So much quieter and more solid. The laminate surface is scratch-resistant (essential with our menace of a cat) and water-resistant.
If you're in the market, I highly recommend checking out their **[bedroom doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** . They have hollow core, solid core, nyatoh plywood, veneer, and laminate options. We went with solid core laminate and have zero regrets.
### Toilet Door for Our Common Bathroom – Aluminium Bifold
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. This time we went with a **premium aluminium bifold door** from Renovaid Team's toilet door range.
The bifold is great for narrower spaces. It folds almost completely flat, giving nearly 100% opening clearance.
If you need a toilet door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has basic ($189), premium ($199-229), and top hung roller ($259-269) options. Something for every budget.

## Advice from a Happy Customer
If you made it this far, here is my advice from someone who has been through it:
1. **Measure your doorway first|Get your measurements sorted early** – It saves time when you WhatsApp them.
2. **Have the decision-maker home for measurement|Make sure the boss is home** – Seriously. Don't send your helper or a family member who can't make decisions. Trust me on this one.
3. **Be patient with the 14-21 day wait|Expect a 3-4 week wait** – It's normal. Good doors take time to manufacture.
4. **Pay via PayNow or bank transfer – no cheques|Use PayNow – it's easiest** – They don't take cheques. Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only.
5. **Check the door thoroughly before the installer leaves|Test everything before they pack up** – Open it, close it, check the lock, check the swing. Once they are gone, it's harder to fix issues.
6. **Book an appointment before visiting their showroom|Don't just show up** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first or you will be turned away.
