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.
Trust me, I feel your pain.
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 how I stumbled upon Renovaid Team.
At first, I was skeptical. Another home improvement company? But the more I read, the more I liked what I saw.
What stood out to me:
- 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 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.

## 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?
The friendly team at Renovaid explained it simply:
It slides first to get out of the way, then swings open. Because it slides first, it needs way less space to open.
The features that sold us:
- **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.
If you want to see pictures and design options, **[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.

## From WhatsApp to Installation
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. 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: Have your measurements ready before you message. 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:
- The technician arrived within the promised 1-2 hour window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- 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. No cheque – we paid via PayNow. And if you change your mind, there's a $40 fee – fair enough, their time isn't free.
Make sure the **decision-maker** is home for the measurement. We learnt that the hard way!
### The 14-21 Day Wait
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take 14 to 21 working days. 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 evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message between 5 PM and 8 PM with a 1 to 2-hour arrival window. They gave us a 10am-12pm window.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly knew what he was doing.
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. Even showed us how to maintain the trackless mechanism.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot 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.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **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. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity proof** | We've had zero issues with swelling. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks modern and expensive. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
Honestly, I'm reaching for complaints here, but if I had to nitpick:
- **The wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they did warn us. Plan ahead if you're in a rush.
- **The $40 fee if you cancel** – Fair, but good to know.
- **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?
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ Free disposal of our old door
No hidden GST. No extra fees. No surprises.
The price we were quoted was the price we paid. In Singapore renovation terms, that's basically a miracle.
For 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.

## One Good Door Led to Another
This is the part that surprised even me: we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### 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 bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
The difference is night and day. The laminate surface is scratch-resistant (essential with our menace of a cat) and water-resistant.
If you are shopping for bedroom doors, 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.
Perfect for tighter 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 website roller ($259-269) options. Truly something for every wallet.

## What I Wish I Knew Before Ordering
If you made it this far, here is my hard-earned advice:
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** – Don't send someone who can't say "yes" or "no" to colours and designs. 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 Harvest building in Woodlands is NOT a walk-in store. WhatsApp first or you will be turned away.

## Bottom Line – Yes or No?

They did exactly what they said they would do.
