Our Experience Buying a Slide and Swing Door in Singapore

If you're reading this, chances are you're struggling with the same problem we had. Every single time.

We've been there.

After months of putting up with it, we finally decided to do something about our ridiculously small HDB toilet. Best decision we made for our 2026 renovation.

Let me share our journey – from frustrated homeowners to happy customers.

## Finding a Trustworthy Door Supplier in Singapore

Like most people, I started on Google. I typed in things like "space saving toilet door Singapore" and "HDB bathroom door replacement".

That's how I stumbled upon Renovaid Team.

I'll be honest – I wasn't sure at first. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore. But something about them felt different.

What stood out to me:

- BCA registration (not every door company has this)

- Direct factory manufacturing in Singapore

- Been around since 2014 – that's a good sign

- Transparent pricing – no hidden "surprise" fees

After reading reviews and comparing options, we decided to take the plunge.

If you are also searching for quality doors, 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 – more on that later.

## How It Works (In Simple Terms)

I'll admit – I had no idea what a "slide and swing" door was at first. How can it be both?

The friendly team at Renovaid explained it simply:

The door first slides to the side (like a sliding door), then swings open (like a regular door). Because it slides first, it needs way less space to open.

The features that sold us:

- **No bottom track** – This was HUGE for us. Our old bifold door had a track that collected hair, dust, and who-knows-what-else.

- **Space-saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as big now.

- **Modern look** – We chose the grey powder-coated finish.

- **Water resistant** – No more worrying about swelling or rotting.

To see what the door actually looks like, **[check out Renovaid Team's slide and swing door page here](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/slide-and-swing-doors.html)** . Trust me, the photos don't do it justice – it's even better in person.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step

Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.

### First Contact – WhatsApp 9898 9268

I sent a WhatsApp message to 9898 9268. I'm not a fan of phone calls anyway, so this worked perfectly for me.

Response time was surprisingly quick – a few hours. Asked me for my door size, location, and what I needed.

A friendly heads-up: Have your measurements ready before you message. It saves time and makes the process smoother.

### Free On-Site Visit

They sent a technician to our flat to measure the doorway. No endless phone trees or waiting on hold.

The day of the visit:

- The technician arrived within the promised 1-2 hour window

- Came with actual colour samples and a catalogue

- We chose our design – grey frame with a simple acrylic panel

- He measured everything twice (professional!)

One thing to know: You need to put down a deposit (50% or $100 minimum) during the visit. No cheque – we paid via PayNow. Also, if you cancel the visit without confirming an order, there is a $40 fee to cover their transport.

Make sure the **decision-maker** is home for the measurement. We learnt that the hard way!

### The 14-21 Day Wait

Once we paid and signed off, we were told installation would take 14 to 21 working days. It ended up being exactly 18 days.

Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth it.

### Step 4: Installation Day

The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message in the evening with a time window for arrival. They gave us a 10am-12pm window.

The guy showed up at 10:30am – right on time. Professional, polite, and clearly knew what he was doing.

The whole thing took about an hour and a half. He hauled away our old rotting wooden door (it was disgusting at the bottom), installed the new slide and swing door, and cleaned up after himself.

Before here packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing the door to make sure we were happy. Even showed us how to maintain the trackless mechanism.

We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow. No surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Honest Review – One Month Later

Now that we've had the door for over a month, **We absolutely love it.**

### The Good (Lots of This)

| Feature | Our Experience |

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

| **Space saving** | I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine. No joke. No more door-to-toilet collisions. |

| **No bottom track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. I just sweep and mop straight through. My knees are grateful. |

| **How it feels** | The mechanism is so smooth. Quiet, no squeaking, no jamming. |

| **Water resistance** | We've had zero issues with swelling. The old wooden door was swollen at the bottom – this one looks brand new. |

| **Looks** | The grey finish is stunning. Looks way more expensive than $399. |

### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)

Honestly, I'm reaching for complaints here, but if I had to nitpick:

- **Waiting period** – 18 days was tough, but they were upfront about it. So order early if you're on a deadline.

- **The $40 fee if you cancel** – Fair, but good to know.

- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So WhatsApp before you go.

That's all I've got. I'm reaching for complaints here.

## Was It Worth $399?

We took advantage of their current promotion:

**Single door package – $399 all-in**

And here is what that $399 covered:

- ✅ Free measurement (they came to us)

- ✅ Free delivery

- ✅ Professional installation

- ✅ Free removal and disposal of the old door

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

What they quoted is what we paid. In Singapore renovation terms, that's basically a miracle.

For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – even better value..

Just a heads up – this offer ends 31 May 2026, so don't sleep on it if you're thinking about it.

## How We Ended Up Getting Bedroom and Main Doors Too

This is the part that surprised even me: We were so impressed with the slide and swing door, we ended up getting Renovaid to replace every door in our house.

### Our New Bedroom Doors

Our old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap. You could hear everything through them.

We upgraded to solid core laminate doors – and wow, what a difference.

So much quieter and more solid. The laminate surface is scratch-resistant (essential with our menace of a cat) and water-resistant.

If you're in the market, I highly recommend checking out their **[bedroom doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** . They have hollow core, solid core, nyatoh plywood, veneer, and laminate options. We went with solid core laminate and have zero regrets.

### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too

While we were at it, we did the common bathroom too. This time we went with a **premium aluminium bifold door** from Renovaid Team's toilet door range.

The bifold is great for narrower spaces. Folds almost flat – incredible clearance.

For anyone needing a toilet door replacement, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has basic ($189), premium ($199-229), and top hung roller ($259-269) options. Truly something for every wallet.

## Tips for Anyone Considering a Slide and Swing Door

If you made it this far, here is my advice from someone who has been through it:

1. **Measure your doorway first|Get your measurements sorted early** – It saves time when you WhatsApp them.

2. **Have the decision-maker home for measurement|Make sure the boss is home** – Don't send someone who can't say "yes" or "no" to colours and designs. Trust me on this one.

3. **Be patient with the 14-21 day wait|Expect a 3-4 week wait** – It's normal. Good doors take time to manufacture.

4. **Pay via PayNow or bank transfer – no cheques|Use PayNow – it's easiest** – They don't take cheques. Cash, PayNow, PayLah, or bank transfer only.

5. **Check the door thoroughly before the installer leaves|Test everything before they pack up** – Open it, close it, check the lock, check the swing. Once they are gone, it's harder to fix issues.

6. **Book an appointment before visiting their showroom|Don't just show up** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp 9898 9268 first or you'll be staring at a locked door.
