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.
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. 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.
At first, I was skeptical. 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
- Clear pricing with no hidden costs
After a few days of research and comparing with other suppliers, 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 were so happy with the toilet door that we came back for more.

## Understanding This "Hybrid" Door
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.
- **Built for humidity** – Made of aluminium and acrylic, not wood that will swell.
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)** . Trust me, the photos don't do it justice – it's even better in person.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
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. Asked me for my door size, location, and what I needed.
A friendly heads-up: Have get more info your measurements ready before you message. It saves time and makes the process smoother.
### 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:
- 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
- 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.
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 about 3-4 weeks. Ours took 18 working days – right in the middle of the estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day came, it was worth it.
### The Big Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message in the evening with a 1 to 2-hour arrival window. 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 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 try opening and closing the door to make sure we were happy. Even showed us how to maintain the trackless mechanism.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We absolutely love it.**
### What We Love
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space saving** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. 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. |
| **Smooth operation** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity proof** | We've had zero issues with swelling. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **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:
- **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. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## 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 measurement (they came to us)
- ✅ Free delivery to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ 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** – 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.

## How We Ended Up Getting Bedroom and Main Doors Too
Here is the funny part – We were so impressed with the slide and swing door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### 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.
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)** . Options for every budget, from hollow core to premium nyatoh timber. 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.
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.

## What I Wish I Knew Before Ordering
If you're still reading, 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** – Don't send someone who can't say "yes" or "no" to colours and designs. Trust me on this one.
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** – Swing it, slide it, lock it, unlock it. Make sure you're 100% happy. 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.

A simple WhatsApp with your doorway size and what you're looking for is enough to get started.
