Are you tired of your HDB bathroom feeling like a shoebox?
We were too.
Our HDB toilet door replacement started with one simple question: how to fix a door that hits the toilet?
Today, I'm sharing our honest experience with the **Slide and Swing Door** from **Renovaid Singapore**.

## {Understanding This Compact Door Solution
If you've never heard of a slide & swing toilet door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
In simple terms: the door **glides sideways** like a pocket door, then **swings open**. Because it slides first, it needs **way less space** to open.
The benefits that sold us:
- **Trackless floor** – Finally, a toilet door without bottom track!
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – Our bathroom feels 50% bigger
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – No swelling like traditional timber doors
- **Sleek finish** – Looks way better than cheap bifold doors
{Curious about the design options? **[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.

## {Why We Needed a HDB Toilet Door Replacement
Our old bifold door was a nightmare.
The bottom track collected hair, dust, and mould.
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"
- "bifold door alternatives"
And that's when everything changed.

But here is what caught my attention:

|-----------------|---------------------------|
| **BCA Registration** | Shows they're legitimate |
| **Local Production** | No middleman markups |
| **10+ Years Experience** | They know HDB requirements |

By the way, 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 what happened, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They asked for:
- Doorway measurements
- Postal code
- Our requirements
Saves time.
### Step 2: Free On-Site Measurement
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- 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 **person who calls the shots** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. But when installation day finally arrived, it was worth every day.
### Step 4: The Big Day
The night before, 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..
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours.
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Installed the new slide and swing 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.
We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.

## Our Verdict After 30 Days
After 30 days of daily use: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Benefits
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **Trackless Floor** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Water Resistance** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Contemporary 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** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!
That's literally 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
You could hear everything through them.
The difference is night and day.
The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy cat) and moisture resistant.
They have options for all price points:
- Budget friendly
- Solid core
- Timber finish
- Veneer
- Scratch resistant
We went with the premium option 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:
- Basic ($189)
- Premium ($199-229)
