Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. Every single time.
Trust me, I feel your pain.
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.
Here is our honest, no-fluff experience buying and installing a **Slide and Swing Door** from **Renovaid Team**.

## The Search for a Solution
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. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore. But something about them felt different.
They had:
- BCA registration (not every door company has this)
- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore
- Over 10 years of experience
- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees
After reading reviews and comparing options, 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 were so happy with the toilet door that we came back for more.

## How It Works (In Simple Terms)
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 here door?
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.
The features that sold us:
- **Trackless design** – I hate cleaning those gross bifold door tracks. Mould city. Never again.
- **Space-saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as big now.
- **White or grey powder-coated finish** – We went with grey and it looks so sleek.
- **Water resistant** – No more worrying about swelling or rotting.
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)** . Way nicer in real life than on screen.

## 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. 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: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. Saves a lot of back-and-forth.
### 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:
- They actually showed up when they said they would – refreshing, I know
- Came with actual colour samples and a catalogue
- We chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel
- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro
Important note: You need to put down a deposit (50% or $100 minimum) during the visit. No cheque – we paid via PayNow. Also, if you cancel the visit without confirming an order, there is a $40 fee to cover their transport.
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. Ask me how I know.
### The 14-21 Day Wait
Once we paid and signed off, we were told installation would take 14 to 21 working days. 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 between 5 PM and 8 PM with a 1 to 2-hour arrival window. Our slot was 10 AM to 12 PM.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly knew what he was doing.
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours. 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 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. Exactly what they quoted.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
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 saving** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **No bottom track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My back thanks me. |
| **How it feels** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Humidity proof** | 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 modern and expensive. |
### 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.
- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!
That's all I've got. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## What We Paid – No Hidden Costs
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**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".
What they quoted is what we paid. In Singapore renovation terms, that's basically a miracle.
For 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
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.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
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 are shopping for bedroom doors, 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
While we were at it, we did the common bathroom too. 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. Something for every budget.

## 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. 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** – 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 first or you will be turned away.
