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 months of putting up with it, 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. 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 something about them felt different.
They had:
- Proper credentials – BCA registered and Bizsafe certified
- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore
- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign
- Clear pricing with no hidden costs
After reading reviews and comparing options, 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 were so happy with the toilet door that we came back for more.

## How It Works (In Simple Terms)
I'll admit slide and swing door singapore – 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. Because it slides first, it needs way less space to open.
Here is what I love about it:
- **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.
- **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)** . Way nicer in real life than on screen.

## 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 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.
They replied within 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. It saves time and makes the process smoother.
### Step 2: Booking the Measurement
We scheduled a free on-site measurement. 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
- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro
Important note: You need to put down a deposit (50% or $100 minimum) during the visit. No cheque – we paid via PayNow. Also, if you cancel the visit without confirming an order, there is a $40 fee to cover their transport.
Make sure the **decision-maker** is home for the measurement. We learnt that the hard way!
### Step 3: Waiting for Installation
Once we paid and signed off, we were told installation would take about 3-4 weeks. It ended up being exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. 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 1 to 2-hour arrival window. Our slot was 10 AM to 12 PM.
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 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 he left, 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. 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 are genuinely thrilled with it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Aspect | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **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** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Humidity proof** | We've had zero issues with swelling. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |
| **Looks** | The grey finish is stunning. Looks modern and expensive. |
### Minor Downsides
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.
- **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 literally it. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## What We Paid – No Hidden Costs
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
And here is what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free disposal of our old door
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
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.

## 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.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
The old bedroom doors were hollow and flimsy. 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 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.
### Toilet Door for Our Common Bathroom – Aluminium Bifold
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.
For anyone needing a toilet door replacement, 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 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** – 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** – Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only. Super simple.
5. **Check the door thoroughly before the installer leaves|Test everything before they pack up** – Swing it, slide it, lock it, unlock it. Make sure you're 100% happy. Once they are gone, it's harder to fix issues.
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.
