Fed up with your toilet door hitting everything in sight?

## {How This HDB Bathroom Door Works
If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
In simple terms: the door **slides to the side first** like a pocket door, then **opens like a regular door**. Because it slides first, it needs **way less space** to open.
Here is why this is perfect for Singapore bathrooms:
- **No bottom track** – Finally, a easy clean bathroom door!
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – I can actually walk in without shuffling
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – No warping like traditional timber doors
- **Sleek finish** – Looks modern and expensive
{Want to see it yourself? **[Check out Renovaid Team's Slide and Swing Door page here](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/slide-and-swing-doors.html)** . Trust me – it looks even better installed.

## {Our Compact Toilet Nightmare
Let me paint you a picture of our previous bathroom situation.
Every time someone opened the door, it banged against the sink.
We tried living with it for far too long.
That's when I started Googling for terms like:
- "space saving toilet door Singapore"
- "HDB toilet door replacement"
- "trackless toilet door"
That's how I discovered **Renovaid Team**.

## {Finding a BCA Registered Contractor|Renovaid Team Review – First Impressions
I'll be honest – I was skeptical at first.
But here is what caught my attention:
| Feature | Why It Mattered |
|-----------------|---------------------------|
| **Proper Credentials** | Not every door company has this |
| **Direct Factory Manufacturing** | Better quality control |
| **Since 2014** | They know HDB requirements |
| **Transparent Pricing** | What they quote is what you pay |
If you also need doors for other rooms, 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 – that's how happy we were.

## Our Experience from Start to Finish
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, so you know what to expect.
### How We Got Started
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They replied within a few hours – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### The Technician Came to Us
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
**Important note:** A deposit is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
He:
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.

## 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 Advantages
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Water Resistance** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Contemporary and expensive. |
### What Could Be Better
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
That's literally it.

## What We Paid – No Hidden Costs
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free shipping to our flat
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ Free disposal of old door
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
What they quoted is what we paid. In Singapore renovation terms, that's practically a unicorn.
For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – saves you $18.
Just a reminder: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so don't sleep on it.

## One Good Door Led to Another
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
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap.
The difference is like chalk and cheese.
The laminate finish is durable and pet-friendly and water-resistant.
They have options for every budget:
- Budget friendly
- Solid core
- Nyatoh plywood
- Veneer
- Laminate
We went with solid website core laminate and have zero regrets.
### We Did the Common Toilet Too
While we were at it, we did the second toilet too. This time we went with a **premium aluminium bifold door** from Renovaid Team's range.
It folds nearly 100% clearance.
If you need a toilet door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:
- Entry level
- Premium ($199-229)
- Top hung roller ($259-269)
Something for every wallet.
