We Bought a Slide and Swing Toilet Door from Renovaid Team – Here's Our Honest Review
Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. Every single time.
Trust me, I feel your pain.
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.

## Finding a Trustworthy Door Supplier in Singapore
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. Another home improvement company? But the more I read, the more I liked what I saw.
What stood out to me:
- Proper credentials – BCA registered and Bizsafe certified
- A local factory, not just a middleman
- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign
- Clear pricing with no hidden costs
After reading reviews and comparing options, 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.

## The Slide and Swing Door – What Even Is That?
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. 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.
- **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.
- **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.

## 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 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.
A friendly heads-up: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. Saves a lot of back-and-forth.
### Step 2: Booking the Measurement
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
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- 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. 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. We learnt that the hard way!
### Step 3: Waiting for Installation
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.
### Step 4: Installation 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 guy showed up at 10:30am – right on time. 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 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
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### What We Love
| Aspect | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |
| **Trackless floor** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My back thanks me. |
| **Smooth operation** | The mechanism is so smooth. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Humidity proof** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. 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:
- **The wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they did warn us. Plan website 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. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money
The promotion we got was:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
And here is exactly what that $399 included:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free removal and disposal of the old door
No hidden GST. No extra fees. No surprises.
What they quoted is what 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.
The promotion is valid until 31 May 2026, so don't sleep on it if you're thinking about it.

## We Loved It So Much – We Bought More Doors!
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 surface is scratch-resistant (essential with our menace of a 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
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.
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. 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** – It saves time when you WhatsApp them.
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. Learn from my mistake!
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 first or you will be turned away.
