## {Understanding This Compact Door Solution
If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.

The benefits that sold us:
- **No bottom track** – Finally, a toilet door without bottom track!
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels 50% bigger
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – Made of rust resistant materials
- **Sleek finish** – We chose the white powder coated finish

## {The Problem with Traditional Swing Doors
Our old wooden swing door was a constant annoyance.
Every time someone opened the door, it smashed into the washing machine.
We tried ignoring the problem for far too long.
That's when I started searching online for terms like:
- "compact bathroom door HDB"
- "best door for small toilet Singapore"
- "trackless toilet door"
And that's when everything changed.

## {Finding a BCA Registered Contractor|Renovaid Team Review – First Impressions
I'll be honest – I was not sure what to expect.
But here is what caught my attention:
| Aspect | Our Take |
|-----------------|---------------------------|
| **BCA Registration** | Not every door company has this |
| **Direct Factory Manufacturing** | Better quality control |
| **Since 2014** | Proven track record |
| **No Hidden Fees** | What they quote is what you pay |
By the way, 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 – that's how happy we were.

## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
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 asked for:
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- Our requirements
Saves time.
### Step 2: Free On-Site Measurement
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
On the day of the visit:
- The guy showed up on time
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We picked our preferred style – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Also, make sure the **person who calls the shots** is home. Ask me how I know.
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
After we approved everything and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### What Happened on 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 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 he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Would We Recommend It?
After 30 days of daily use: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Benefits
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **No Bottom Track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Looks** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Modern and expensive. |
### Honest Criticisms
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

## Was It Worth $399?
We took advantage of their current promotion:
**Single door package – $399 all-in**
And here is exactly what that $399 covered:
- ✅ Free home visit
- ✅ Free delivery
- ✅ BCA registered contractor installation
- ✅ Free disposal of old door
No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".
What they quoted is what we paid. In HDB door replacement terms, that's practically a unicorn.
For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – an even better deal.
Heads up: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so don't wait too long.

We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
