Our Experience Buying a Slide and Swing Door in Singapore

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 far too many bruised elbows and muttered frustrations, we finally decided to do something about our tiny, cramped HDB toilet. And I'm so glad we did.

Let me share our journey – from frustrated homeowners to happy customers.

## How We Found Renovaid Team

Like most people, I started on Google. Keywords like "HDB toilet door" and "bathroom door Singapore" were my constant search companions.

That's when I came across Renovaid Team.

At first, I was skeptical. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore. But the more I read, the more I liked what I saw.

What stood out to me:

- BCA registration (not every door company has this)

- A local factory, not just a middleman

- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign

- Clear pricing with no hidden costs

After reading reviews and comparing options, 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

I'll admit – I had no idea what a "slide and swing" door was at first. Is it a sliding door? Is it a swing door?

The friendly team at Renovaid explained it simply:

The door first slides to the side (like a sliding door), then swings open (like a regular door). Because it slides first, it needs way less space to open.

The features that sold us:

- **Trackless design** – I hate cleaning those gross bifold door tracks. Mould city. Never again.

- **Space-saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as big now.

- **Modern look** – We chose the grey powder-coated finish.

- **Water resistant** – No more worrying about swelling or rotting.

## 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 nervously typed out my first message to their WhatsApp number. 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.

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. 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

- He brought colour samples and catalogues

- We chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel

- Double-checked all measurements like a true pro

One thing to know: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during measurement. No cheque – we paid via PayNow. Also, if you cancel the visit without confirming an order, there is a $40 fee to cover their transport.

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. It ended up being exactly 18 days.

I was getting impatient by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth it.

### Step 4: Installation Day

The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message in the evening with a time window for arrival. 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 thing took about an hour and a half. He removed our old wooden door (which was literally rotting at the bottom – gross), installed the new slide and swing door, and cleaned up after himself.

Before packing up, 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.

## Would We Recommend It?

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

### What We Love

| Feature | What We Think |

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

| **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 back thanks me. |

| **Smooth operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |

| **Water resistance** | No swelling, no warping, no rot. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |

| **Looks** | The grey finish is stunning. Looks way more expensive than $399. |

### Minor Downsides

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. Plan ahead if you're in a rush.

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

- **Strictly by appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So WhatsApp before you go.

That's literally here it. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

## What We Paid – No Hidden Costs

The promotion we got was:

**Single door package – $399 all-in**

And here is what that $399 covered:

- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)

- ✅ 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.

If you need two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – even better value..

Just a heads up – this offer ends 31 May 2026, so don't wait too long if you're interested.

## How We Ended Up Getting Bedroom and Main Doors Too

This is the part that surprised even me: we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up getting Renovaid to replace every door in our house.

### 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.

So much quieter and more solid. The laminate surface is scratch-resistant (essential with our menace of a 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)** . Options for every budget, from hollow core to premium nyatoh timber. 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. 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.

For anyone needing a toilet door replacement, 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.

## What I Wish I Knew Before Ordering

If you're still reading, 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** – It's normal. Good doors take time to manufacture.

4. **Pay via PayNow or bank transfer – no cheques|Use PayNow – it's easiest** – They don't take cheques. Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only.

5. **Check the door thoroughly before the installer leaves|Test everything before they pack up** – Swing it, slide it, lock it, unlock it. Make sure you're 100% happy. Once they are gone, it's harder to fix issues.

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.

---

## Bottom Line – Yes or No?

After everything – the research, the WhatsApp messages, the measurement, the waiting, the installation – **yes, 100%.**

They did exactly what they said they would do.

- No hidden costs

- Professional installation by BCA-registered contractors

- A product that actually solves the problem

- Transparent communication throughout

The slide and swing door has genuinely improved our daily life. No more bruised hips. No more mouldy tracks. No more swollen wood.

Just a clean, beautiful door that works perfectly, day after day.
