Wiki Article
Fed up with your bathroom door hitting everything in sight?
Same here.
After months of bruised elbows, we finally found the perfect solution for our compact Singapore bathroom.
Here is our real customer story after living with it daily.

## {Understanding This Space Saving Door Solution
If you've never heard of a slide & swing toilet door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
In simple terms: the door **glides sideways** like a sliding door, then **swings open**. Thanks to this trackless design, it needs **way less space** to open.
Here is why this matters for HDB flats:
- **No bottom track** – No more cleaning mouldy tracks
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels 50% bigger
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – No warping like traditional timber doors
- **Modern aesthetic** – We chose the white powder coated finish
{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 Small Bathroom Nightmare
Let me paint you a picture of our old HDB toilet door.
The bottom track collected hair, dust, and mould.
We tried living with it for months.
That's when I started searching online for terms like:
- "compact bathroom door HDB"
- "HDB toilet door replacement"
- "bifold door alternatives"
That's how I found **Renovaid Team**.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Here is a step by step breakdown of our toilet door replacement journey.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
I sent a text to **9898 9268**.
They asked for:
- Doorway measurements
- Postal code
- What type of door we needed
Saves time.
### The Technician Came to Us
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
**Important note:** A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Also, make sure the **person who calls the shots** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### Step 4: The Big Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
The whole job was done in 90 minutes.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. He even showed us how to maintain it.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Verdict After 30 Days
After 30 days of daily use: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Advantages
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer here for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **Trackless Floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **How It Feels** | The mechanism is so smooth. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Water Resistance** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Contemporary and premium. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
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** – You can't just show up at their showroom. WhatsApp first!
That's all I've got.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money
Here is what we paid:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free home visit
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ BCA registered contractor installation

No hidden fees. No surprises. No fine print.
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.
Heads up: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so don't sleep on it.
