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 months of putting up with it, we finally decided to do something about our tiny, cramped 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.
I'll be honest – I wasn't sure at first. Another home improvement company? But something about them felt different.
They had:
- Proper credentials – BCA registered and Bizsafe certified
- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore
- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign
- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees
After reading reviews and comparing options, we decided to take the plunge.
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.

## The Slide and Swing Door – What Even Is That?
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:
- **Trackless design** – I hate cleaning those gross bifold door tracks. check here Mould city. Never again.
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – I can actually walk in without doing a sideways shuffle.
- **White or grey powder-coated finish** – We went with grey and it looks so sleek.
- **Water resistant** – No more worrying about swelling or rotting.
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)** . Way nicer in real life than on screen.

## From WhatsApp to Installation
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. I'm not a fan of phone calls anyway, so this worked perfectly for me.
They replied within a few hours. They asked for basic info like door size and HDB type.
Quick tip: Have your measurements ready before you message. Saves a lot of back-and-forth.
### Step 2: Booking the Measurement
We scheduled a free on-site measurement. No endless phone trees or waiting on hold.
The day of the visit:
- They actually showed up when they said they would – refreshing, I know
- Came with actual colour samples and a catalogue
- We picked a grey frame with a clean, simple panel design
- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro
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.
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. Ask me how I know.
### Step 3: Waiting for Installation
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take about 3-4 weeks. Ours took 18 working days – right in the middle of the estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day came, it was worth it.
### The Big Day
The evening before installation, 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. He showed us how the mechanism works and how to clean it.
Final payment was made on the spot – again via PayNow. Exactly what they quoted.

## 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 | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space saving** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **No bottom track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. I just sweep and mop straight through. My knees are grateful. |
| **How it feels** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Water resistance** | We've had zero issues with swelling. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey finish is stunning. Looks modern and expensive. |
### Minor Downsides
Honestly, I'm reaching for complaints here, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Waiting period** – 18 days was tough, but they were upfront about it. 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. So WhatsApp before you go.
That's literally it. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## We Loved It So Much – We Bought More Doors!
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.
### Bedroom Doors – Solid Core Laminate
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap. You could hear everything through them.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
So much quieter and more solid. The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy cat) and water-resistant.
If you're in the market, 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 chose solid core laminate – no regrets.
### Toilet Door for Our Common Bathroom – Aluminium Bifold
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. That one got a premium aluminium bifold door.
Perfect for tighter 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** – You'll need them anyway, so do it upfront.
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. Trust me on this one.
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 are gone, it's harder to fix issues.
6. **Book an appointment before visiting their showroom|Don't just show up** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp 9898 9268 first or you'll be staring at a locked door.
