Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. A door that swings open and hits the toilet, the washing machine, or your knee.
We've been there.
After months of putting up with it, we finally decided to do something about our tiny, cramped HDB toilet. And I'm so glad we did.
Let me share our journey – from frustrated homeowners to happy customers.

## How We Found Renovaid Team
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.
At first, I was skeptical. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore. 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
- 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)
When I first heard the name, I was confused. 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. Because it slides first, it needs way less space to open.
Here is what I love about it:
- **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.
- **Modern look** – We chose the grey powder-coated finish.
- **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)** . Way nicer in real life than on screen.

## 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 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. Asked me for my door size, location, and what I needed.
Quick tip: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. It saves check here time and makes the process smoother.
### Free On-Site Visit
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
- 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. 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. 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 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 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. Our slot was 10 AM to 12 PM.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. He was friendly, wore a uniform, and had all the tools ready.
The whole thing took about an hour and a half. 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 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. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later
Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We are genuinely thrilled with it.**
### What We Love
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |
| **No bottom track** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My knees are grateful. |
| **How it feels** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Water resistance** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks modern and expensive. |
### Minor Downsides
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. 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. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## Was It Worth $399?
The promotion we got was:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 included:
- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ 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.

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

## One Good Door Led to Another
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.
### Bedroom Doors – Solid Core Laminate
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap. Zero soundproofing.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
So much quieter and more solid. The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy 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.
### Toilet Door for Our Common Bathroom – Aluminium Bifold
While we were at it, we did the common bathroom too. 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 made it this far, 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** – 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** – 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.
