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. Best decision we made for our 2026 renovation.
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. Keywords like "HDB toilet door" and "bathroom door Singapore" were my constant search companions.
That's how I stumbled upon 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
- Clear pricing with no hidden costs
After reading reviews and comparing options, we decided to give them a try.
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 click here more.

## How It Works (In Simple Terms)
When I first heard the name, I was confused. How can it be both?
Their team broke it down for me in plain English:
The door first slides to the side (like a sliding door), then swings open (like a regular door). Because it slides first, it needs way less space to open.
Here is what I love about it:
- **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.
- **Space-saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as big now.
- **Modern look** – We chose the grey powder-coated finish.
- **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)** . Way nicer in real life than on screen.

## From WhatsApp to Installation
Here is a play-by-play of our experience, 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. They asked for basic info like door size and HDB type.
Quick tip: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. It saves 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 chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel
- He measured everything twice (professional!)
One thing to know: 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. 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. It ended up being exactly 18 days.
I was getting impatient by week three. 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 1 to 2-hour arrival window. They gave us a 10am-12pm window.
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 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. Even showed us how to maintain the trackless mechanism.
Final payment was made on the spot – again via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Would We Recommend It?
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space saving** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My knees are grateful. |
| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Water resistance** | We've had zero issues with swelling. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks way more expensive than $399. |
### Minor Downsides
Honestly, I'm reaching for complaints here, 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
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
And here is exactly what that $399 included:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free delivery to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ 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. And in renovation-land, that's practically a unicorn.
For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – an even better deal.
The promotion is valid until 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 replacing ALL our old doors.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap. You could hear everything through them.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
The difference is night and day. 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.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too
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.
The bifold is great for narrower spaces. Folds almost flat – incredible 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'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** – 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 are gone, it's harder to fix issues.
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.
