Fed up with your bathroom door hitting everything in sight?
We know the struggle.
Our space saving journey started with one simple question: what is the best door for a small toilet?
Today, I'm sharing our honest experience with the **Slide & Swing Toilet Door** from **this BCA registered door supplier**.
---
## {What is a Slide and Swing 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 **swings open**. Because it slides first, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
The benefits that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – No more scrubbing gunk out of bifold door grooves
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as spacious
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – Made of aluminium and acrylic
- **Modern aesthetic** – We chose the grey 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.

## {Our Compact Toilet Nightmare
Our old wooden swing door was a constant annoyance.
The bottom track collected hair, dust, and mould.
We tried ignoring the problem for months.
That's when I started Googling for terms like:
- "compact bathroom door HDB"
- "HDB toilet door replacement"
- "bifold door alternatives"
That's how I stumbled upon **Renovaid Team**.

## From First Contact to Installation
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
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your doorway size on hand before you message.
### The Measurer Came to Us
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
What happened during the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. website Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when they finally messaged us, it was completely worth the wait.
### What Happened on Installation 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 the promised time. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
He:
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before he left, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were completely satisfied. He even explained the cleaning process.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Would We Recommend It?
It's been over a month now, and here is my unfiltered opinion: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Water Resistance** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Contemporary and expensive. |
### Honest Criticisms
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, 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. Just be aware before booking.
- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
That's literally it.

## Was It Worth $399?
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
The price included:
- ✅ Free on-site measurement
- ✅ Free shipping to our flat
- ✅ BCA registered contractor installation
- ✅ Free disposal of old door
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
The price was the price. In HDB door replacement terms, that's practically a unicorn.
For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – even better value.
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 impressed with the space saving 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.
The difference is like chalk and cheese.
The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy cat) and water-resistant.
They have options for every budget:
- Hollow core
- Solid core
- Nyatoh plywood
- Veneer
- Laminate
We went with the premium option and have no complaints.
### We Did the Common Toilet Too
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.
It folds nearly 100% clearance.
For anyone needing a new bathroom door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:
- Entry level
- Mid range
- Top hung roller ($259-269)
Truly something for everyone.
