From Cramped to Spacious: Our Slide and Swing Door Journey

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.

Here is our honest, no-fluff experience buying and installing a **Slide and Swing Door** from **Renovaid Team**.

## Finding a Trustworthy Door Supplier in Singapore

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.

At first, I was skeptical. Another home improvement company? 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

- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees

After a few days of research and comparing with other suppliers, 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)

When I first heard the name, I was confused. How can it be both?

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). 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.

- **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

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. 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: Have your measurements ready before you message. Saves a lot of back-and-forth.

### 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.

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

- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro

Important note: 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. We learnt that the hard way!

### 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.

### 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 guy showed up at 10:30am – right on time. 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 he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were happy. Even showed us how to maintain the trackless mechanism.

We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later

It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We are genuinely thrilled with it.**

### The Good (Lots of This)

| Feature | What We Think |

|-----------------|-------------------------------|

| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. 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 knees are grateful. |

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

| **Water resistance** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |

| **Aesthetics** | 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 literally it. 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 on-site measurement

- ✅ Free delivery

- ✅ Professional installation

- ✅ Free removal and disposal of the old door

No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".

What they quoted is what we paid. And in renovation-land, premium aluminium bifold door that's practically a unicorn.

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 sleep on it if you're thinking about it.

## How We Ended Up Getting Bedroom and Main Doors Too

Here is the funny part – we were so happy with the toilet 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)** . Options for every budget, from hollow core to premium nyatoh timber. 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. That one got a premium aluminium bifold door.

The bifold is great for narrower spaces. Folds almost flat – incredible 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. Truly something for every wallet.

## Advice from a Happy Customer

If you made it this far, here is my hard-earned advice:

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. Learn from my mistake!

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** – 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.
