Are you tired of your small toilet feeling like a sardine can?

## {What is a Slide & Swing Toilet Door
If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
Simply put: the door **slides to the side first** like a pocket door, then **swings open**. Thanks to this trackless design, it needs **way less space** to open.
Here is why this is perfect for Singapore bathrooms:
- **No bottom track** – Finally, a toilet door without bottom track!
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as spacious
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – No rotting like old wooden doors
- **Modern aesthetic** – Looks way better than cheap bifold doors
{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 previous bathroom situation.
Every time someone opened the door, it banged against the sink.
We tried living with it for months.
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 found **Renovaid Team**.

## {Why We Chose Renovaid Team|Renovaid Team Review – First Impressions
I'll be honest – I was skeptical at first.
What made them different:
| Aspect | Our Take |
|-----------------|---------------------------|
| **BCA Registration** | Shows they're legitimate |
| **Direct Factory Manufacturing** | Better quality control |
| **10+ Years Experience** | Proven track record |
| **Transparent Pricing** | No "surprise" charges |
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.

## Our Experience from Start to Finish
Here is a play by play of our Renovaid Team experience.
### How We Got Started
The first no bottom track toilet door thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They replied within a few hours – no phone calls needed.
- Door size
- Postal code
- What type of door we needed
Saves time.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We chose our design – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He double checked all dimensions like a true professional
One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Don't send your helper. Ask me how I know.
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Verdict After 30 Days
After 30 days of daily use: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Benefits
| Aspect | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **No Bottom Track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. Goodbye mouldy bifold door grooves. |
| **How It Feels** | Glides like butter. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Modern and expensive. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, 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. Just be aware before booking.
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

## Our $399 Investment
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
The price included:
- ✅ Free home visit
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ Free removal and haul away
No hidden fees. No surprises. No fine print.
What they quoted is what we paid. In HDB door replacement terms, that's basically a miracle.
For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – an even better deal.
Heads up: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so don't wait too long.

## 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.
### Our New Bedroom Doors
You could zero soundproofing.
The difference is like chalk and cheese.
The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy cat) and moisture resistant.
They have options for all price points:
- Hollow core
- Solid core
- Nyatoh plywood
- Veneer
- Scratch resistant
We went with solid core laminate and have no complaints.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade 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:
- Basic ($189)
- Premium ($199-229)
- Premium option
Something for every wallet.

## Lessons Learned
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** | The person choosing colours and designs needs to be there |
| 3 | **Expect a 3-4 week lead time** | Good doors take time to manufacture |
| 4 | **Use PayNow or bank transfer** | Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only |
| 5 | **Test everything before the installer leaves** | Open it, close it, check the lock |
| 6 | **Their showroom is NOT a walk-in store** | Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment |
