If you're reading this, chances are you're struggling with the same problem we had. A door that swings open and hits the toilet, the washing machine, or your knee.
Trust me, I feel your pain.
After far too many bruised elbows and muttered frustrations, we finally decided to do something about our tiny, cramped HDB toilet. And I'm so glad we did.
Let me share our journey – from frustrated homeowners to happy customers.

## The Search for a Solution
Like most people, I started on Google. Keywords like "HDB toilet door" and "bathroom door Singapore" were my constant search companions.
That's how I stumbled upon Renovaid Team.
At first, I was skeptical. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore. But something about them felt different.
What stood out to me:
- BCA registration (not every door company has this)
- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore
- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign
- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees
After a few days of research and comparing with other suppliers, 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.

## How It Works (In Simple Terms)
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.
Here is what I love about it:
- **No bottom track** – This was HUGE for us. Mould city. Never again.
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – I can actually walk in without doing a sideways shuffle.
- **White or grey powder-coated finish** – We went with grey and it looks so sleek.
- **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.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.
### First Contact – WhatsApp 9898 9268
I sent a WhatsApp message to 9898 9268. I'm not a fan of phone calls anyway, so this worked perfectly for me.
They replied within a few hours. Asked me for my door size, location, and what I needed.
Quick tip: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. It saves time and makes the process smoother.
### Step 2: Booking the Measurement
They sent a technician to our flat to measure the doorway. No endless phone trees or waiting on hold.
On the day of the measurement:
- They actually showed up when they said they would – refreshing, I know
- Came with actual colour samples and a catalogue
- We picked a grey frame with a clean, simple panel design
- He measured everything twice (professional!)
One thing to know: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during measurement. We used PayNow – super easy. And if you change your mind, there's a $40 fee – fair enough, their time 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. Ask me how I know.
### The 14-21 Day Wait
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.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day came, it was worth it.
### The Big 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 removed our old wooden door (which was literally rotting at the bottom – gross), installed the new slide and swing door, and cleaned up after himself.
Before packing up, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were happy. He showed us how the mechanism works and how to clean it.
Final payment was made on the spot – again via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later
Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We absolutely love it.**
### What We Love
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| here **No bottom track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My knees are grateful. |
| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Water resistance** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks modern and expensive. |
### Minor Downsides
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.
- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you bail after measurement. Reasonable, just be aware.
- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So WhatsApp before you go.
That's literally it. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## Was It Worth $399?
The promotion we got was:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
And here is what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free delivery to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free disposal of our old door
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
The price we were quoted was the price 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.
The promotion is valid until 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 impressed with the slide and swing 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 chose solid core laminate – no regrets.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too
While we were at it, we did the common bathroom too. That one got a premium aluminium bifold door.
The bifold is great for narrower spaces. Folds almost flat – incredible 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. Truly something for every wallet.

## What I Wish I Knew Before Ordering
If you're still reading, here is my advice from someone who has been through it:
1. **Measure your doorway first|Get your measurements sorted early** – You'll need them anyway, so do it upfront.
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** – Quality takes time. Plan your renovation schedule around it.
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 drive away, it's a whole process to get them back.
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.
