## {What is a Slide & Swing Toilet Door
If you've never heard of a slide & swing toilet door, don't worry – we hadn't either.
In simple terms: the door **slides to the side first** like a pocket door, then **opens like a regular door**. Because it slides first, it needs **minimal clearance** 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** – Made of aluminium and acrylic
- **Sleek finish** – Looks modern and expensive
{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)** . Trust me – it looks even better installed.

## {The Problem with Traditional Swing Doors
Let me paint you a picture of our previous bathroom situation.
Every time someone opened the door, it hit the toilet bowl.
We tried living with it for far too long.
My late night searches included:
- "compact bathroom door HDB"
- "HDB toilet door replacement"
- "bifold door alternatives"
That's how I discovered **Renovaid Team**.

## 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 asked for:
- Door size
- Postal code
- Our requirements
Makes the process smoother.
### The Measurer Came to Us
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
What happened during the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked our preferred style – white powder coated finish
- 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 a family member who can't approve things. Ask me how I know.
### Step 3: The 14-21 Day Wait
After we confirmed the design 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 tested my patience. 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 time slot. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..
The whole installation took about 1.5 hours.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.

## Would We Recommend It?
After 30 days of daily use: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Advantages
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **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. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Looks** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Contemporary and premium. |
### Minor Downsides
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Order early if you're in a rush
- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. WhatsApp first!
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 home visit
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ Professional installation
- ✅ Free removal and haul away
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
The price was the price. In HDB door replacement terms, that's basically a miracle.
If you need a pair, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – saves you $18.
Just a reminder: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so don't wait too long.

## One Good Door Led to Another
Here is the funny part – We were so impressed with the slide and swing, we ended up getting Renovaid to do every door in our house.
### Why We Upgraded Our Bedroom Doors Too
You could zero soundproofing.
The difference is like chalk and cheese.
The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy cat) and water-resistant.
If you're in the market, check out their **[bedroom doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** .
- Budget friendly
- Premium option
- Nyatoh plywood
- Veneer
- Laminate
We went with the premium option and have zero regrets.
### We Did the Common Toilet Too
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. This time we went with a **premium aluminium bifold door** from Renovaid Team's range.
It folds almost completely flat.
For anyone needing a new bathroom door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:
- Entry level
- Premium ($199-229)
