If you're reading this, chances are you're struggling with the same problem we had. 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 tiny, cramped 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
My journey began with late-night Googling. I typed in things like "space saving toilet door Singapore" and "HDB bathroom door replacement".
That's how I stumbled upon Renovaid Team.
I'll be honest click here – I wasn't sure at first. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore. 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
- Over 10 years of experience
- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees
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 ended up getting our bedroom doors from them as well – more on that later.

## Understanding This "Hybrid" Door
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 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.
Here is what I love about it:
- **No bottom track** – This was HUGE for us. Mould city. Never again.
- **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.

## 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. I'm not a fan of phone calls anyway, so this worked perfectly for me.
They replied within a few hours. They asked for basic info like door size and HDB type.
Quick tip: Have 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.
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. 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. 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. It ended up being exactly 18 days.
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 time window for arrival. They gave us a 10am-12pm window.
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 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 test 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.

## Would We Recommend It?
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We are genuinely thrilled with it.**
### What We Love
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **No bottom track** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My back thanks me. |
| **How it feels** | 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 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. WhatsApp first!
That's literally it. 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
- ✅ 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.
If you need two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – even better value..
The promotion is valid until 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
The old bedroom doors were hollow and flimsy. 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'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.
### 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.
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. 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** – 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. Trust me on this one.
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** – Swing it, slide it, lock it, unlock it. Make sure you're 100% happy. 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 9898 9268 first or you'll be staring at a locked door.
