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.

## Finding a Trustworthy Door Supplier in Singapore
Like most people, I started on Google. Keywords like "HDB toilet door" and "bathroom door Singapore" were my constant search companions.
That's when I came across 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
- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore
- Over 10 years of experience
- Clear pricing with no hidden costs
After reading reviews and comparing options, 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 ended up getting our bedroom doors from them as well – more on that later.

## 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. Is it a sliding door? Is it a swing door?
Their team broke it down for me in plain English:
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. 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.
- **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 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. 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.
### 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:
- 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: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during measurement. We used PayNow – super easy. 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. Ask me how I know.
### 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. It ended up being exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when slide and swing toilet door installation day came, it was worth it.
### The Big 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 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 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. 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 are genuinely thrilled with it.**
### What We Love
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space saving** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless floor** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My back thanks me. |
| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Humidity proof** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey finish is stunning. Looks modern and expensive. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
Honestly, I'm reaching for complaints here, 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.
- **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. So WhatsApp before you go.
That's literally it. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## Was It Worth $399?
The promotion we got was:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free delivery to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free removal and disposal of the old door
No hidden GST. No extra fees. No surprises.
What they quoted is what 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.

## One Good Door Led to Another
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. Zero soundproofing.
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're 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 chose solid core laminate – no 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.
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.

## Tips for Anyone Considering a Slide and Swing Door
If you're still reading, 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. Learn from my mistake!
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 are gone, it's harder to fix issues.
6. **Book an appointment before visiting their showroom|Don't just show up** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp 9898 9268 first or you'll be staring at a locked door.

## Our Final Verdict
After everything – the research, the WhatsApp messages, the measurement, the waiting, the installation – **yes, 100%.**
They did exactly what they said they would do.
- No surprise fees
- Proper, qualified installers
- Quality product that actually works
- Transparent communication throughout
Our slide and swing door has genuinely made daily life better. No more bruised hips. No more mouldy tracks. No more swollen wood.
