Slide and Swing Door Review: Our HDB Bathroom Transformation

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 far too many bruised elbows and muttered frustrations, 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" more info 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)

- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore

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

## How It Works (In Simple Terms)

When I first heard the name, I was confused. Is it a sliding door? Is it a swing door?

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.

The features that sold us:

- **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.

- **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)** . 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.

### Step 1: The WhatsApp Message

I sent a WhatsApp message to 9898 9268. 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.

### Step 2: Booking the Measurement

We scheduled a free on-site measurement. 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

- 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: 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. Ask me how I know.

### Step 3: Waiting for Installation

Once we paid and signed off, we were told installation would take 14 to 21 working days. It ended up being exactly 18 days.

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 between 5 PM and 8 PM with a 1 to 2-hour arrival window. Our slot was 10 AM to 12 PM.

The guy showed up at 10:30am – right on time. 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 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.

## Would We Recommend It?

Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We are genuinely thrilled with 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 back thanks me. |

| **How it feels** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |

| **Water resistance** | We've had zero issues with swelling. Looks exactly the same as day one. |

| **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:

- **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.

- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So WhatsApp before you go.

That's all I've got. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money

The promotion we got was:

**Single door package – $399 all-in**

And here is exactly what that $399 included:

- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)

- ✅ Free delivery

- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor

- ✅ 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.

For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – an even better deal.

Just a heads up – this offer ends 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 replacing ALL our old doors.

### Our New Bedroom Doors

The old bedroom doors were hollow and flimsy. You could hear everything through them.

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)** . They have hollow core, solid core, nyatoh plywood, veneer, and laminate options. We went with solid core laminate and have zero regrets.

### Toilet Door for Our Common Bathroom – Aluminium Bifold

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. Something for every budget.

## What I Wish I Knew Before Ordering

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** – 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** – Quality takes time. Plan your renovation schedule around it.

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 are gone, it's harder to fix issues.

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 first or you will be turned away.

## Bottom Line – Yes or No?

After everything – the research, the WhatsApp messages, the measurement, the waiting, the installation – **yes, 100%.**

Renovaid Team delivered exactly what they promised.

- No surprise fees

- Proper, qualified installers

- A product that actually solves the problem

- Clear, honest communication start to finish

The slide and swing door has genuinely improved our daily life. No more bruised hips. No more mouldy tracks. No more swollen wood.

If you're renovating and need a trustworthy supplier, **do yourself a favour and message Renovaid Team.**

???? **Send a message to 9898 9268** – No phone calls, just WhatsApp. They are super responsive.

???? **Closed on Sundays and public holidays**

Just send them a message with your door size and what you need.

Trust me – your knees, your back, and your bathroom will thank you.

## P.S. Don't Forget About the Promotion!

Just a reminder – the $399 deal expires 31 May 2026.
