Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. A door that swings open and hits the toilet, the washing machine, or your knee.
We've been there.
After months of putting up with it, we finally decided to do something about our tiny, cramped HDB toilet. Best decision we made for our 2026 renovation.
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.
I'll be honest – I wasn't sure at first. Another home improvement company? But the more I read, the more I liked what I saw.
They had:
- BCA registration (not every door company has this)
- A local factory, not just a middleman
- 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 give them a try.
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 ended up getting our bedroom doors from them as well – more on that later.

## The Slide and Swing Door – What Even Is That?
When I first heard the name, I was confused. Is it a sliding door? Is it a swing door?
Their team broke it down for me in plain English:
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. Mould city. Never again.
- **Space-saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as big now.
- **Modern look** – We chose the grey powder-coated finish.
- **Water resistant** – No more worrying about swelling or rotting.
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)** . Trust me, the photos don't do it justice – it's even better in person.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: The WhatsApp Message
I sent a WhatsApp message to 9898 9268. I'm not a fan of phone calls anyway, so this worked perfectly for me.
Response time was surprisingly quick – a few hours. They asked for basic info like door size and HDB type.
A friendly heads-up: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. 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.
The day of the visit:
- They actually showed up when they said they would – refreshing, I know
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked a grey frame with a clean, simple panel design
- He measured everything twice (professional!)
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 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
Once we paid and signed off, we were told installation would take 14 to 21 working days. It ended up being exactly 18 days.
I was getting impatient by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth it.
### Step 4: Installation Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message between 5 PM and 8 PM with a time window for arrival. Our slot was 10 AM to 12 PM.
The guy showed up at 10:30am – right on time. 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 he left, he asked us to try opening and closing the door to make sure we were happy. Even showed us how to maintain read more the trackless mechanism.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### What We Love
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |
| **Trackless floor** | I just mop right under the door. I just sweep and mop straight through. My back thanks me. |
| **Smooth operation** | The mechanism is so smooth. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Water resistance** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks way more expensive than $399. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **The wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they did warn us. So order early if you're on a deadline.
- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you bail after measurement. Reasonable, just be aware.
- **Strictly by appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. WhatsApp first!
That's all I've got. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 included:
- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)
- ✅ Free delivery to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ Free removal and disposal of the 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.
Just a heads up – this offer ends 31 May 2026, so don't sleep on it if you're thinking about it.

## We Loved It So Much – We Bought More Doors!
Here is the funny part – we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Bedroom Doors – Solid Core Laminate
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.
The difference is night and day. 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.
### 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. 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. Something for every budget.

## 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** – 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. Learn from my mistake!
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 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.

After everything – the research, the WhatsApp messages, the measurement, the waiting, the installation – **absolutely yes.**
They did exactly what they said they would do.
