Fed up with your bathroom door hitting everything in sight?
We were too.
Our space saving journey started with one simple question: what is the best door for a small toilet?
Here is our real customer story after one month.
---
## {What is a Slide & Swing Toilet Door
If you've never heard of a slide & swing toilet door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
Simply put: the door **glides sideways** like a pocket door, then **swings open**. Thanks to this no bottom track mechanism, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
The benefits that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – No more scrubbing gunk out of bifold door grooves
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels 50% bigger
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – No swelling like old wooden doors
- **Sleek finish** – Looks modern and expensive
{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)** . The photos look great, but it's even better in person.

## {The Problem with Old Bifold Doors
Let me paint you a picture of our old HDB toilet door.
Every time someone opened the door, it hit the toilet bowl.
After far too many bruised hips, we knew we needed a better solution.
That's when I started Googling for terms like:
- "compact bathroom door HDB"
- "HDB toilet door replacement"
- "bifold door alternatives"
And that's when everything changed.

## {Why We Chose Renovaid Team|Renovaid Team Review – First Impressions
I'll be honest – I was skeptical at first.
But here is what stood here out to me:
| Feature | Why It Mattered |
|-----------------|---------------------------|
| **BCA Registration** | Not every door company has this |
| **Direct Factory Manufacturing** | No middleman markups |
| **10+ Years Experience** | Proven track record |
| **Transparent Pricing** | What they quote is what you pay |
If you also need doors for other rooms, 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 – that's how happy we were.

## What to Expect When You Order
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, so you know what to expect.
### How We Got Started
I sent a text to **9898 9268**.
They asked for:
- Door size
- Postal code
- What type of door we needed
Saves time.
### Step 2: Home Visit
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Don't send your helper. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### 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..
He:
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before packing up, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. He even explained the cleaning process.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Advantages
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **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. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Looks** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Sleek and premium. |
### Minor Downsides
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
That's all I've got.

## The Price – Let's Talk Money
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
And here is exactly what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free home visit
- ✅ Free shipping to our flat
- ✅ BCA registered contractor installation
- ✅ Free removal and haul away
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
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** – saves you $18.
Just a reminder: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so don't sleep on it.

## How We Ended Up Replacing All Our Doors
Here is the funny part – We were so impressed with the space saving toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
Perfect for Singapore's climate.
They have options for every budget:
- Budget friendly
- Solid core
- Timber finish
- Natural wood look
- Scratch resistant
We went with solid core laminate and have zero regrets.
### We Did the Common Toilet Too
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.
The bifold is perfect for smaller openings.
If you need a toilet door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:
- Entry level
- Mid range
- Top hung roller ($259-269)
Truly something for everyone.
