Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. A door that swings open and hits the toilet, the washing machine, or your knee.
Trust me, I feel your pain.
After months of putting up with it, we finally decided to do something about our ridiculously small HDB toilet. Best decision we made for our 2026 renovation.
Let me share our journey – from frustrated homeowners to happy customers.

## 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 – 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)
- 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 were so happy with the toilet door that we came back for more.

## The Slide and Swing Door – What Even Is That?
I'll admit – I had no idea what a "slide and swing" door was at first. 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. 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. Our old bifold door had a track that collected hair, dust, and who-knows-what-else.
- **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.
- **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.

## From WhatsApp to Installation
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. 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
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked a grey frame with a clean, simple panel design
- He measured everything twice (professional!)
Important note: You need to put down a deposit (50% or $100 minimum) during the visit. No cheque – we paid via PayNow. 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.
### Step 4: Installation 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. He was friendly, wore a uniform, and had all the tools ready.
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.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We are genuinely thrilled with it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **No bottom track** | I just mop right under the door. I just sweep and mop straight through. My back thanks me. |
| **Smooth operation** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Water resistance** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks way more expensive than $399. |
### 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. 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 literally it. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## One Good Door Led to Another
This is the part that surprised even me: we were so happy with the toilet 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. Zero soundproofing.
We upgraded to solid core laminate doors – and wow, what a difference.
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.
### Toilet Door for Our Common Bathroom – Aluminium Bifold
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. 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.

## Advice from a Happy Customer
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. Trust me on this one.
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** – Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only. Super simple.
5. **Check the door thoroughly before the installer leaves|Test everything before they pack up** – website 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.
