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 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**.

## The Search for a Solution
Like most people, I started on Google. I typed in things like "space saving toilet door Singapore" and "HDB bathroom door replacement".
That's when I came across Renovaid Team.
At first, I was skeptical. Another home improvement company? 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
- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees
After a few days of research and comparing with other suppliers, we decided to take the plunge.
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.

## Understanding This "Hybrid" Door
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). 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.
- **Water resistant** – No more worrying about swelling here 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.

## What It Was Like Dealing with Renovaid Team
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.
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.
The day of the visit:
- 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!)
Important note: 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. We learnt that the hard way!
### The 14-21 Day Wait
Once we paid and signed off, we were told installation would take 14 to 21 working days. Ours took 18 working days – right in the middle of the estimate.
I was getting impatient by week three. But when installation day came, it was worth it.
### The Big Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message between 5 PM and 8 PM 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 try opening and closing the door to make sure we were happy. Even showed us how to maintain the trackless mechanism.
Final payment was made on the spot – again via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door
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** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |
| **No bottom track** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. My knees are grateful. |
| **How it feels** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity proof** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. Looks exactly the same as day one. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder-coated finish is gorgeous. Looks way more expensive than $399. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
I'm struggling to find negatives, 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 all I've got. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## Was It Worth $399?
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 included:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation by a BCA-registered contractor
- ✅ Free removal and disposal of the old door
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
The price we were quoted was the price we paid. And in renovation-land, that's practically a unicorn.
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 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. You could hear everything through them.
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
While we were at it, we did the common bathroom too. This time we went with a **premium aluminium bifold door** from Renovaid Team's toilet door range.
Perfect for tighter spaces. It folds almost completely flat, giving nearly 100% opening 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. 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** – Seriously. Don't send your helper or a family member who can't make decisions. 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 first or you will be turned away.
