Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. Every single time.
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. 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
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.
I'll be honest – I wasn't sure at first. Another home improvement company? But something about them felt different.
They had:
- Proper credentials – BCA registered and Bizsafe certified
- A local factory, not just a middleman
- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign
- Clear pricing with no hidden costs
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?
Their team broke it down for me in plain English:
The door first slides to the side (like a sliding door), then swings open (like a regular door). 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.
- **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)** . 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. No calls – they are strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
Response time was surprisingly quick – 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.
### 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:
- The technician arrived within the promised 1-2 hour window
- Came with actual colour samples and a catalogue
- We chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel
- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro
Important note: You need to put down a deposit (50% or $100 minimum) during the visit. 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.
### Step 3: Waiting for Installation
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.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. 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. 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 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
Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We absolutely love it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |
| **No bottom track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. I just sweep and mop straight through. My knees are grateful. |
| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Water resistance** | We've had zero issues with swelling. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks modern and expensive. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
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.
- **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.

## What We Paid – No Hidden Costs
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 included:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free disposal of our old door
No hidden GST. No extra fees. No surprises.
The price we were quoted was the price we paid. And in renovation-land, that's practically a unicorn.
For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – even better value..
The promotion is valid until 31 May 2026, so don't wait too long if you're interested.

## We Loved It So Much – We Bought More Doors!
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
The old bedroom doors were hollow and flimsy. Zero soundproofing.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
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 click here 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 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. This time we went with a **premium aluminium bifold door** from Renovaid Team's toilet door range.
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 roller ($259-269) options. Something for every budget.

## Advice from a Happy Customer
If you're still reading, 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. 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 Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first or you will be turned away.
