From Sardine Can to Spacious: Our HDB Toilet Door Upgrade

Let me guess – your HDB bathroom feels like a sardine can. A door that swings open and hits the toilet, the washing machine, or your knee.

We've been there.

After far too many bruised elbows and muttered frustrations, we finally decided to do something about our tiny, cramped HDB toilet. Best decision we made for our 2026 renovation.

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

## Finding a read more Trustworthy Door Supplier in Singapore

My journey began with late-night Googling. Keywords like "HDB toilet door" and "bathroom door Singapore" were my constant search companions.

That's when I came across Renovaid Team.

I'll be honest – I wasn't sure at first. Another home improvement company? But something about them felt different.

What stood out to me:

- BCA registration (not every door company has this)

- A local factory, not just a middleman

- Over 10 years of experience

- Clear pricing with no hidden costs

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?

The friendly team at Renovaid explained it simply:

It slides first to get out of the way, then swings open. 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. 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 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)** . Trust me, the photos don't do it justice – it's even better in person.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step

Here is a play-by-play of our experience, so you know what to expect.

### First Contact – WhatsApp 9898 9268

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: Measure your doorway first before reaching out. It saves time and makes the process smoother.

### Step 2: Booking the Measurement

They sent a technician to our flat to measure the doorway. No endless phone trees or waiting on hold.

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 chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel

- He measured everything twice (professional!)

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.

Make sure the **decision-maker** is home for the measurement. Ask me how I know.

### The 14-21 Day Wait

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 they finally messaged us, 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. Our slot was 10 AM to 12 PM.

The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. He was friendly, wore a uniform, and had all the tools ready.

The whole thing took about an hour and a half. 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. He showed us how the mechanism works and how to clean it.

Final payment was made on the spot – again via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Would We Recommend It?

Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We absolutely love it.**

### The Good (Lots of This)

| Feature | Our Experience |

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

| **Space efficiency** | Our bathroom feels 50% bigger. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |

| **Trackless floor** | I just mop right under the door. I just sweep and mop straight through. My knees are grateful. |

| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |

| **Water resistance** | 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)

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. So order early if you're on a deadline.

- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you bail after measurement. Reasonable, just be aware.

- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!

That's all I've got. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## 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.

### 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.

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 advice from someone who has been through it:

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. Trust me on this one.

3. **Be patient with the 14-21 day wait|Expect a 3-4 week wait** – It's normal. Good doors take time to manufacture.

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.
