Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. Every single time.
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.
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. I typed in things like "space saving toilet door Singapore" and "HDB bathroom door replacement".
That's how I stumbled upon Renovaid Team.
At first, I was skeptical. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore. But something about them felt different.
They had:
- BCA registration (not every door company has this)
- A local factory, not just a middleman
- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign
- Clear pricing with no hidden costs
After a few days of research and comparing with other suppliers, 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.

## Understanding This "Hybrid" Door
I'll admit – I had no idea what a "slide and swing" door was at first. How can it be both?
Their team broke it down for me in plain English:
It slides first to get out of the way, then swings open. 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.
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – I can actually walk in without doing a sideways shuffle.
- **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.
If you want to see pictures and design options, **[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.

## From WhatsApp to Installation
Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.
### First Contact – WhatsApp 9898 9268
I nervously typed out my first message to their WhatsApp number. No calls – they are strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
They replied within a few hours. Asked me for my door size, location, and what I needed.
A friendly heads-up: 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. 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
- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro
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.
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.
### Step 3: Waiting for Installation
Once we paid and signed off, 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 installation day came, it was worth it.
### The Big Day
The night before, 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. He showed us how the mechanism works and how to clean it.
Final payment was made on the spot – again via PayNow. Exactly what they quoted.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later
Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We absolutely love 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. |
| **Trackless floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My back thanks me. |
| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity proof** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |
| **Looks** | The grey finish is stunning. Looks modern and expensive. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
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. Plan ahead if you're in a rush.
- **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 all I've got. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## get more info 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
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
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.
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. Truly something for every wallet.

## Advice from a Happy Customer
If you're still reading, here is my advice from someone who has been through it:
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** – 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** – 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 9898 9268 first or you'll be staring at a locked door.
