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 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 when I came across Renovaid Team.
I'll be honest – I wasn't sure at first. Another home improvement company? But the more I read, the more I liked what I saw.
What stood out to me:
- 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 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 here 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. 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. 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. Mould city. Never again.
- **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.

## 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. 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.
Quick tip: Have your measurements ready before you message. 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.
The day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised 1-2 hour window
- Came with actual colour samples and a catalogue
- 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. 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. We learnt that the hard way!
### The 14-21 Day Wait
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 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 time window for arrival. They gave us a 10am-12pm window.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. 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. He showed us how the mechanism works and how to clean it.
Final payment was made on the spot – again via PayNow. Exactly what they quoted.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We are genuinely thrilled with it.**
### What We Love
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **No bottom track** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My knees are grateful. |
| **Smooth operation** | 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. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks way more expensive than $399. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **The wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they did warn us. So order early if you're on a deadline.
- **The $40 fee if you cancel** – Fair, but good to know.
- **Strictly by appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. WhatsApp first!
That's all I've got. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money
The promotion we got was:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 included:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free delivery to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ 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** – 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
Here is the funny part – we were so happy with the toilet 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 are shopping for bedroom doors, 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.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too
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.
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. 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** – 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 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.

## Stop Reading and Start Messaging
Here is what worked for me:
???? **WhatsApp: 9898 9268** – Strictly WhatsApp only – no calls.
???? **Address in Woodlands** – Do NOT just show up – WhatsApp first!
???? **Closed on Sundays and public holidays**
Just send them a message with your door size and what you need.
Your knees (no more tripping), your back (no more scrubbing tracks), and your sanity will thank you.

## P.S. Don't Forget About the Promotion!
The $399 slide and swing door promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**.
If you're on the fence, I'd suggest messaging them now to lock in the price. You can always push the measurement date out.
Future you will be very grateful.
