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. 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. 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. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore. But the more I read, the more I liked what I saw.
They had:
- Proper credentials – BCA registered and Bizsafe certified
- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore
- Over 10 years of experience
- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees
After a few days of research and comparing with other suppliers, we decided to give them a try.
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?
I'll admit – I had no idea what a "slide and swing" door was at first. How can it be both?
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). The sliding motion means it doesn't need that big clearance arc.
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.
- **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)** . Way nicer in real life than on screen.

## What It Was Like Dealing with Renovaid Team
Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.
### First Contact – WhatsApp 9898 9268
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. 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.
### Free On-Site Visit
We scheduled a free on-site measurement. The appointment was easy to book – just a few messages back and forth.
On the day of the measurement:
- 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: You need to put down a deposit (50% or $100 minimum) during the visit. 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
Once we paid and signed off, 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 installation day came, 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. 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 installation took about 1.5 hours. 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 test the door to make sure we were happy. Even showed us how to maintain the trackless mechanism.
Final payment was made on the spot – again 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
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space saving** | 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 back thanks me. |
| **How it feels** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **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 finish is stunning. 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.
- **No walk-ins** – Their check here Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So WhatsApp before you go.
That's all I've got. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money
The promotion we got was:
**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".
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** – even better value..
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!
This is the part that surprised even me: we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up getting Renovaid to replace every door in our house.
### 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.
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 in the market, 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 chose solid core laminate – no regrets.
### Toilet Door for Our Common Bathroom – Aluminium Bifold
While we were at it, we did the common bathroom too. 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.
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.

## Advice from a Happy Customer
If you made it this far, 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. Trust me on this one.
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 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 9898 9268 first or you'll be staring at a locked door.
