If you're reading this, chances are you're struggling with the same problem we had. A door that swings open and hits the toilet, the washing machine, or your knee.
We've been there.
After months of putting up with it, 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**.

## How We Found Renovaid Team
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 the more I read, the more I liked what I saw.
They had:
- Proper credentials – BCA registered and Bizsafe certified
- A local factory, not just a middleman
- Over 10 years of experience
- 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 ended up getting our bedroom doors from them as well – more on that later.

## 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 door?
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). The sliding motion means it doesn't need that big clearance arc.
Here is what I love about it:
- **No bottom track** – This was HUGE for us. Mould city. Never again.
- **Space-saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as big now.
- **Modern look** – We chose the grey powder-coated finish.
- **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)** . Trust me, the photos don't do it justice – it's even better in person.

## What It Was Like Dealing with Renovaid Team
Here is a play-by-play of our experience, 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. 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.
### Free On-Site Visit
They sent a technician to our flat to measure the doorway. 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 picked a grey frame with a clean, simple panel design
- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro
One thing to know: You need to put down a deposit (50% or $100 minimum) during the visit. No cheque – we paid via PayNow. And if you change your mind, there's a $40 fee – fair enough, their time isn't free.
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. Ours took 18 working days – right in the middle of the estimate.
I was getting impatient by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth it.
### Step 4: Installation Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message in the evening with a time window for arrival. Our slot was 10 AM to 12 PM.
The guy showed up at 10:30am – right on time. Professional, polite, and clearly knew what he was doing.
The whole thing took about an hour and a half. 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. 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.**
### What We Love
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless floor** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My knees are grateful. |
| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Humidity proof** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |
| **Aesthetics** | 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:
- **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.
- **Strictly by appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So WhatsApp before you go.
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:
**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 by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free removal and disposal of the 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.
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 sleep on it if you're thinking about it.

## 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.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
The old bedroom doors were hollow and flimsy. Zero soundproofing.
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 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 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. 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.
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.

## Tips for Anyone Considering a Slide and Swing Door
If you made it this far, here is my advice from someone who has been through it:
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** – Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only. Super simple.
5. **Check the door thoroughly before the installer leaves|Test everything before they pack up** – Open it, close it, check the lock, check the hdb toilet door replacement 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 Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp 9898 9268 first or you'll be staring at a locked door.
