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.
Trust me, I feel your pain.
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
My journey began with late-night Googling. 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:
- 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 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.

## 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. 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. 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.
- **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.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Here is a play-by-play of our experience, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: The WhatsApp Message
I nervously typed out my first message to their WhatsApp number. No calls – they are strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
Response time was surprisingly quick – 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. Saves a lot of back-and-forth.
### Free On-Site Visit
We scheduled a free on-site measurement. 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 chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel
- 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. And if you change your mind, there's a $40 fee – fair enough, their time isn't free.
Make sure the **decision-maker** is home for the measurement. Ask me how I know.
### The 14-21 Day Wait
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.
I was getting impatient by week three. But when installation day came, it was worth it.
### Step 4: Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message in the evening with a 1 to 2-hour arrival window. They gave us a 10am-12pm window.
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 try opening and closing the door to make sure we were happy. He showed us how the mechanism works and how to clean it.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Would We Recommend It?
Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We absolutely love it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| 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. |
| **How it feels** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity proof** | We've had zero issues with swelling. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |
| **Looks** | The grey finish is stunning. 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.
- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you bail after measurement. Reasonable, just be aware.
- **Strictly by appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. WhatsApp first!
That's literally it. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## What We Paid – No Hidden Costs
The promotion we got was:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)
- ✅ Free delivery to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free disposal of our old door
No hidden GST. No extra fees. No surprises.
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..
Just a heads up – this offer ends 31 May 2026, so don't sleep on it if you're thinking about it.

## 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
The old bedroom doors were hollow and flimsy. 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 are shopping for bedroom doors, 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
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. That one got a premium aluminium bifold door.
The bifold is great for narrower spaces. Folds almost flat – incredible 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** – 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** – 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 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.
