Are you tired of your bathroom door feeling like a closet?
We know the struggle.
Our space saving journey started with one simple question: what is the best door for a small toilet?
Here is our unpaid review 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.
Simply put: the door **glides sideways** like a pocket door, then **opens like a regular door**. Because it slides first, it needs **way less space** to open.
The benefits that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – No more scrubbing gunk out of bifold door grooves
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – Our bathroom feels twice as spacious
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – No rotting like old wooden doors
- **Sleek finish** – We chose the white powder coated finish
{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)** . Trust me – it looks even better installed.

## {The Problem with Traditional Swing Doors
Our old bifold door was a constant annoyance.
The aluminium track was impossible to clean.
We tried ignoring the problem for months.
My late night searches included:
- "compact bathroom door HDB"
- "HDB toilet door replacement"
- "bifold door alternatives"
That's how I stumbled upon **Renovaid Team**.

## {Why We Chose Renovaid Team|Renovaid Team Review – First Impressions
I'll be honest – I was not sure what to expect.
What made them different:

|-----------------|---------------------------|
| **BCA Registration** | Not every door company has this |
| **Direct Factory Manufacturing** | No middleman markups |
| **10+ Years Experience** | Proven track record |
| **No Hidden Fees** | What they quote is what you pay |
By the way, Renovaid Team has an impressive range of **[bedroom doors](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** too. More on that later.

## From WhatsApp to Installation
Here is a step by step breakdown of our toilet door replacement journey.
### Step 1: WhatsApp Message – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They replied within a few hours – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### Step 2: Home Visit
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
On the day of the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
**Important note:** A deposit is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Also, make sure the **person who calls the shots** is home. Ask me how I know.
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
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 felt long. 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 10:30 AM. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- 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.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow.

## Would We Recommend It?
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### The Benefits
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | I just mop right under the door. Goodbye mouldy bifold door grooves. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Water Resistance** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Looks** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Modern and expensive. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **$40 charge** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Just be aware before booking.
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
That's all I've got.
---
## Was It Worth $399?
Here is what we paid:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
The price included:
- ✅ Free home visit
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ Free disposal of old door
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
The price was the price. In Singapore renovation terms, that's basically a miracle.
If you need a pair, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – an even better deal.
Just a reminder: 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 impressed with the space saving toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Why We Upgraded Our Bedroom Doors Too
You could zero soundproofing.
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)** .
- Hollow core
- Solid core
- Nyatoh plywood
- Veneer
- Laminate
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 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:
- Basic ($189)
- Mid range
- Top hung roller ($259-269)
Something for every budget.
