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

## {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 **opens like a regular door**. Because it slides first, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
Here is why this is perfect for Singapore bathrooms:
- **No bottom track** – No more scrubbing gunk out of bifold door grooves
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – No rotting like old wooden doors
- **Modern aesthetic** – Looks modern and expensive

## {The Problem with Traditional Swing Doors
Our old wooden swing door was a nightmare.
The bottom track collected hair, dust, and mould.
We tried living with it for far too long.
That's when I started searching online for terms like:
- "space saving toilet door Singapore"
- "best door for small toilet Singapore"
- "trackless toilet door"
That's how I stumbled upon **Renovaid Team**.

## From WhatsApp to Installation
Here is a play by play of our toilet door replacement journey.
### How We Got Started
I sent a text to **9898 9268**.
They responded quickly – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**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 colour samples and catalogues
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
One thing to know: A 50% deposit click here or minimum $100 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 14-21 Day Wait
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. But when installation day finally arrived, it was worth every day.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Verdict After 30 Days
After four weeks of daily use: **We absolutely love it.**
### What We Love
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | 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. |
| **Looks** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Contemporary and premium. |
### Honest Criticisms
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

## Was It Worth $399?
Here is what we paid:
**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 disposal of old door
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
What they quoted is what we paid. In HDB door replacement terms, that's practically a unicorn.

Heads up: 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 happy with the toilet door, we ended up getting Renovaid to do every door in our house.
### Why We Upgraded Our Bedroom Doors Too
Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy cat) 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
- Timber finish
- Veneer
- Scratch resistant
We went with solid core laminate and have zero regrets.
### We Did the Common Toilet Too
While we were at it, we did the second toilet too. This time we went with a **premium aluminium bifold door** from Renovaid Team's range.
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:
- Entry level
- Mid range
- Premium option
Truly something for everyone.
