Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. 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. Best decision we made for our 2026 renovation.
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 how I stumbled upon Renovaid Team.
At first, I was skeptical. 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
- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees
After reading reviews and comparing options, we decided to give them a try.
If you are also searching for quality doors, 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. How can it be both?
The friendly team at Renovaid explained it simply:
The door first slides to the side (like a sliding door), then swings open (like a regular door). 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.
- **Space-saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as big now.
- **Modern look** – We chose the grey powder-coated finish.
- **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.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
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. 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.
A friendly heads-up: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. 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.
On the day of the measurement:
- The technician arrived within the promised 1-2 hour window
- Came with actual colour samples and a catalogue
- We picked a grey frame with a clean, simple panel design
- He measured everything twice (professional!)
One thing to know: 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.
Make sure the **decision-maker** is home for the measurement. We learnt that the hard way!
### Step 3: Waiting for Installation
Once we paid and signed off, we were told installation would take 14 to 21 working days. 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.
### 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. He was friendly, wore a uniform, and had all the tools ready.
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 test 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.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space saving** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |
| **No bottom track** | I just mop right under the door. I just sweep and mop straight through. My back thanks me. |
| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |
| **Water resistance** | We've had zero issues with swelling. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |
| **Aesthetics** | 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:
- **Waiting period** – 18 days was tough, but they were upfront about it. Plan ahead if you're in a rush.
- **The $40 fee if you cancel** – Fair, but good to know.
- **Strictly by appointment solid core laminate bedroom door only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So WhatsApp before you go.
That's literally it. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
And here is what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)
- ✅ 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 wait too long if you're interested.

## How We Ended Up Getting Bedroom and Main Doors Too
This is the part that surprised even me: We were so impressed with the slide and swing door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### 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 doors – and wow, what a difference.
So much quieter and more solid. 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 went with solid core laminate and have zero regrets.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too
While we were at it, we did the common bathroom too. That one got a premium aluminium bifold door.
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. Something for every budget.

## Tips for Anyone Considering a Slide and Swing Door
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** – 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** – 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** – Open it, close it, check the lock, check the swing. 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.
---
## Bottom Line – Yes or No?
After everything – the research, the WhatsApp messages, the measurement, the waiting, the installation – **yes, 100%.**
They did exactly what they said they would do.
- No hidden costs
- Professional installation by BCA-registered contractors
- A product that actually solves the problem
- Transparent communication throughout
The slide and swing door has genuinely improved our daily life. No more door-to-toilet collisions. No more mouldy tracks. No more swollen wood.
Just a clean, beautiful door that works perfectly, day after day.
