Let me explain what makes this compact bathroom door so special.
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 **way less space** to open.
The benefits that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – No more cleaning mouldy tracks
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as spacious
- **Built for Singapore's climate** – Made of rust resistant materials
- **Sleek finish** – We chose the grey powder coated finish

## What to Expect When You Order
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, 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
- HDB location
- Our requirements
Makes the process smoother.
### The Technician Came to Us
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 chose our design – 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. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Don't send a family member who can't approve things. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The 14-21 Day Wait
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day finally arrived, it was worth every day.
### Step 4: Installation Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. 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.
- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## 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 Advantages
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **Trackless Floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Water Resistance** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Aesthetics** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Contemporary and expensive. |
### Minor Downsides
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Order early if you're in a rush
- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Just be aware before booking.
- **No walk-ins** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

## One Good Door Led to Another
This surprised even me: 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 hear everything through them.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
Perfect for Singapore's climate.
They have options for all price points:
- Hollow core
- Premium option
- Nyatoh plywood
- Natural wood look
- Laminate
We went with solid core laminate and have zero regrets.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade Too
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.
For anyone needing a new bathroom door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:
- Basic ($189)
- Mid range
- Top hung roller ($259-269)
