Are you tired of your small toilet feeling like a shoebox?

Here is our real customer story after living with it daily.

## {Understanding This Space Saving Door Solution

If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.

In simple terms: the door **slides to the side first** like a sliding door, then **opens like a regular door**. Thanks to this no bottom track mechanism, it needs **way less space** to open.

The advantages that sold us:

- **No bottom track** – Finally, a toilet door without bottom track!

- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels 50% bigger

- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – No warping like old wooden doors

- **Sleek finish** – We chose the white powder coated finish

{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)** . Trust me – it looks even better installed.

## {The Problem with Traditional Swing Doors

Let me paint you a picture of our previous bathroom situation.

Every time someone opened the door, it smashed into the washing machine.

After countless muttered frustrations, we knew we needed a better solution.

My late night searches included:

- "space saving toilet door Singapore"

- "HDB toilet door replacement"

- "trackless toilet door"

And that's when everything changed.

## From WhatsApp to Installation

Here is a play by play of our toilet door replacement journey.

### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268

I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.

They replied within a few hours – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.

- Door size

- HDB location

- Our requirements

**Pro tip:** Have your doorway size on hand before you message.

### The Technician Came to Us

Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.

What happened during the visit:

- The technician arrived within the promised window

- He brought finish options and brochures

- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel

- He measured everything twice like a true professional

One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.

Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Learn from my mistake!

### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period

After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. Ours took exactly 18 days.

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

### Step 4: The Big Day

The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. They gave us a morning slot.

The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.

He:

- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)

- Installed the new slide and swing door

- Cleaned up everything before leaving

Before packing up, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.

Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Living with the Slide and Swing Door

After four weeks of daily use: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**

### The Good (Lots of This)

| Feature | Our Experience |

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

| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |

| **No Bottom Track** | I just mop right under the door. Goodbye mouldy bifold door grooves. |

| **How It Feels** | The mechanism is so smooth. Quiet and effortless. |

| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |

| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Modern and expensive. |

### What Could Be Better

Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:

- **Wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Order early if you're in a rush

- **Cancellation fee** – Fair, but good to know. Just be aware before booking.

- **Appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. WhatsApp first!

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

## Was It Worth $399?

No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".

The price was the price. In HDB door replacement terms, that's practically a unicorn.

Heads up: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so act fast if you're interested.

## How We Ended Up Replacing All Our Doors

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

### Bedroom Doors – Solid Core Laminate

Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap.

The difference is like chalk and cheese.

The laminate finish is durable and pet-friendly and water-resistant.

If you're shopping for bedroom doors, check out their **[bedroom doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** .

- Budget friendly

- Solid core

- Nyatoh plywood

- Natural wood look

- Scratch resistant

We went with the premium option and have zero regrets.

### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too

While we were at it, we did the second toilet too. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.

It folds nearly 100% 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)

- Top hung roller ($259-269)

Something for every budget.

## What I Wish I Knew Before Ordering

Before you order, here is my hard-earned advice:

| # | Tip | Why It Matters |

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

| 1 | **Have your dimensions ready** | You'll need them anyway |

| 2 | **Don't send someone who can't say yes** | Seriously – don't send your helper |

| 3 | **Expect a 3-4 week lead time** | Good doors take time to manufacture |

| 4 | **Digital payment is easiest** | Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only |

| 5 | **Check the door thoroughly before they pack up** | Swing it, slide it, lock it, unlock it |

| 6 | **Their showroom is NOT a walk-in store** | Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment |

---

## Our Final Verdict

After our whole journey from frustrated Googling to happy homeowner, **yes, 100%.**

Here is what they got right:

| Commitment | Result |

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