## {How This HDB Bathroom Door Works
If you've never heard of a slide & swing toilet door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
Simply put: the door **slides to the side first** like a sliding door, then **opens like a regular door**. Because it slides first, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
The advantages that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – Finally, a easy clean bathroom door!
- **Nearly 100% opening clearance** – Our bathroom feels twice as spacious
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – Made of aluminium and acrylic
- **Modern aesthetic** – Looks way better than cheap bifold doors

## {Why We Needed a HDB Toilet Door Replacement
Our old wooden swing door was a constant annoyance.
Every time someone opened the door, it hit the toilet bowl.
After far too many bruised hips, we knew we needed a proper space saving door.
That's when I started searching online for terms like:
- "space saving toilet door Singapore"
- "best door for small toilet Singapore"
- "bifold door alternatives"
And that's when everything changed.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.
### How We Got Started
I sent a text to **9898 9268**.
They responded quickly – no phone calls needed.
- Doorway measurements
- Postal code
- Our requirements
Saves time.
### Step 2: Free On-Site Measurement
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Also, make sure the **person who calls the shots** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### Step 4: Installation Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
The whole job was done in 90 minutes.
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- 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 completely satisfied. He even showed us how to maintain it.
We paid the remaining balance on the spot via PayNow.

## Our Verdict After 30 Days
It's been over a month now, and here is my honest take: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Advantages
| Aspect | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | I just mop right under the door. Goodbye mouldy bifold door grooves. |
| **How It Feels** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Sleek and expensive. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Order early if you're in a rush
- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Just be aware before booking.
- **No walk-ins** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So message before you go.
That's literally it.

## Was It Worth $399?
Here is what we paid:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
The price included:

## One Good Door Led to Another
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.
### Bedroom Doors – Solid Core Laminate
You could hear everything through them.
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)** .
- Budget friendly

We went with solid core laminate and have no complaints.
### Toilet Door for Our Common Bathroom – Aluminium Bifold
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.
The bifold is great for narrower spaces.
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)
