From Cramped to Spacious: Our Slide and Swing Door Journey

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 far too many bruised elbows and muttered frustrations, we finally decided to do something about our tiny, cramped HDB toilet. Best decision we made for our 2026 renovation.

Let me share our journey – from frustrated homeowners to happy customers.

## How We Found Renovaid Team

Like most people, I started on Google. I typed in things like "space saving toilet door Singapore" and "HDB bathroom door replacement".

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.

What stood out to me:

- BCA registration (not every door company has this)

- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore

- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign

- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees

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 ended up getting our bedroom doors from them as well – more on that later.

## How It Works (In Simple Terms)

I'll admit – I had no idea what a "slide and swing" door was at first. How can it be both?

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. 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.

## What It Was Like Dealing with Renovaid Team

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. I'm not a fan of phone calls anyway, so this worked perfectly for me.

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. Saves a lot of back-and-forth.

### 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.

On the day of the measurement:

- The technician arrived within the promised 1-2 hour window

- He brought colour samples and catalogues

- We picked a grey frame with a clean, simple panel design

- He measured everything twice (professional!)

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

Once we paid and signed off, 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 they finally messaged us, 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 guy showed up at 10:30am – right on time. 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 get more info after himself.

Before packing up, 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.

Final payment was made on the spot – again via PayNow. Exactly what they quoted.

## Would We Recommend It?

Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We absolutely love it.**

### The Good (Lots of This)

| Aspect | What We Think |

|-----------------|-------------------------------|

| **Space efficiency** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |

| **No bottom track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. I just sweep and mop straight through. My back thanks me. |

| **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. |

| **Looks** | The grey finish is stunning. Looks way more expensive than $399. |

### Minor Downsides

I'm struggling to find negatives, 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.

## Was It Worth $399?

We took advantage of their current promotion:

**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**

And here is what that $399 covered:

- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)

- ✅ 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.

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.

Just a heads up – this offer ends 31 May 2026, so don't wait too long if you're interested.

## How We Ended Up Getting Bedroom and Main Doors Too

This is the part that surprised even me: we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.

### Bedroom Doors – Solid Core Laminate

The old bedroom doors were hollow and flimsy. Zero soundproofing.

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

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.

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 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** – 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 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 Harvest building in Woodlands is NOT a walk-in store. WhatsApp 9898 9268 first or you'll be staring at a locked door.
