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.
We've been there.
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.
Let me share our journey – from frustrated homeowners to happy customers.

## The Search for a Solution
My journey began with late-night Googling. Keywords like "HDB toilet door" and "bathroom door Singapore" were my constant search companions.
That's how I stumbled upon Renovaid Team.
I'll be honest – I wasn't sure at first. Another home improvement company? But something about them felt different.
What stood out to me:
- 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 a few days of research and comparing with other suppliers, we decided to take the plunge.
By the way, if you need doors for other rooms, 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. How can it be both?
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:
- **Trackless design** – I hate cleaning those gross bifold door tracks. 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.
- **Water resistant** – No more worrying about swelling or rotting.
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.

## 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 nervously typed out my first message to their WhatsApp number. I'm not a fan of phone calls anyway, so this worked perfectly for me.
Response time was surprisingly quick – a few hours. Asked me for my door size, location, and what I needed.
A friendly heads-up: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. Saves a lot of back-and-forth.
### Free On-Site Visit
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
- Came with actual colour samples and a catalogue
- We chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel
- 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!
### Step 3: Waiting for Installation
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take about 3-4 weeks. 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 night before, their office here sent a WhatsApp message between 5 PM and 8 PM with a time window for arrival. They gave us a 10am-12pm window.
The guy showed up at 10:30am – right on time. He was friendly, wore a uniform, and had all the tools ready.
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours. 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. Even showed us how to maintain the trackless mechanism.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow. Exactly what they quoted.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Aspect | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |
| **No bottom track** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My knees are grateful. |
| **How it feels** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Humidity proof** | We've had zero issues with swelling. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Aesthetics** | 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. Plan ahead if you're in a rush.
- **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.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money
The promotion we got was:
**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 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. And in renovation-land, that's practically a unicorn.
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
This is the part that surprised even me: We were so impressed with the slide and swing door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap. Zero soundproofing.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
So much quieter and more solid. The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy 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)** . Options for every budget, from hollow core to premium nyatoh timber. We went with solid core laminate and have zero regrets.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. That one got a premium aluminium bifold door.
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.

## 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** – It saves time when you WhatsApp them.
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. 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** – Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only. Super simple.
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.
