We Fixed Our Tiny HDB Toilet – Here's What Worked

We know the struggle.

After months of frustration, we finally found the perfect solution for our compact Singapore bathroom.

Here is our unpaid review after one month.

## {How This HDB Bathroom Door Works

If you've never heard of a slide and swing door, don't worry – we hadn't either.

In simple terms: the door **slides to the side first** like a sliding door, then **swings open**. Because it slides first, it needs **way less space** to open.

The benefits that sold us:

- **Trackless floor** – No more cleaning mouldy tracks

- **Space saving magic** – I can actually open the door without hitting the washing machine

- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – Made of aluminium and acrylic

- **Sleek finish** – We chose the white powder coated finish

{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

Our old bifold door was a constant annoyance.

Every time someone opened the door, it smashed into the washing machine.

After countless muttered frustrations, we knew we needed a proper space saving door.

My late night searches included:

- "compact bathroom door HDB"

- "HDB toilet door replacement"

- "bifold door alternatives"

And that's when everything changed.

| **Since 2014** | They know HDB requirements |

By the way, Renovaid Team has an impressive range of **[bedroom doors](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** too. More on that later.

## 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

The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.

They replied within a few hours – no phone calls needed.

- Door size

- Postal code

- What type of door we needed

**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.

### Step 2: Free On-Site Measurement

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 – grey frame with acrylic panel

- He double checked all dimensions 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. Ask me how I know.

### 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 they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.

### Step 4: The Big Day

The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. Ours was 10am-12pm.

The installer arrived at the promised time. Friendly, uniformed, and fully prepared..

The whole installation took about 1.5 hours.

- Hauled away the old door (it was disgusting at the bottom)

- Put in our brand new space saving door

- Made sure there was no mess

Before packing up, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.

We paid the final payment on the spot via PayNow.

## Would We Recommend It?

It's been over a month now, and here is my unfiltered opinion: **We absolutely love it.**

### The Good (Lots of This)

| Feature | Our Experience |

|-----------------|-------------------------------|

| **Space Efficiency** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |

| **No Bottom Track** | Cleaning is SO easy now. Goodbye mouldy bifold door grooves. |

| **Smooth Operation** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |

| **Water Resistance** | Looks exactly like day one. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |

| **Aesthetics** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Contemporary and premium. |

### What Could Be Better

I'm reaching for complaints here, 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.

- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. WhatsApp first!

Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

## Our $399 Investment

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 shipping to our flat

- ✅ BCA registered contractor installation

- ✅ Free disposal of old door

No hidden fees. No surprises. No fine print.

The price was the price. In HDB door replacement terms, that's basically a miracle.

For two doors, the promotion is **$780 for two sets** – saves you $18.

Heads up: The promotion is valid until **31 May 2026**, so act fast if you're interested.

## How We Ended Up Replacing All Our Doors

Here is the funny part – we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.

### Why We Upgraded Our Bedroom Doors Too

You could zero soundproofing.

The difference is like chalk and cheese.

The laminate finish is durable and pet-friendly and moisture resistant.

They have options for all price points:

- Budget friendly

- Premium option

- Nyatoh plywood

- Natural wood look

- Laminate

We went with the premium option and have zero regrets.

### We Did the Common Toilet Too

While we were at it, we did the second toilet too. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.

The bifold is perfect for smaller openings.

If you need a toilet door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:

- Entry level

- Premium ($199-229)

- Top hung roller ($259-269)

Truly something for everyone.

| 4 | **Use PayNow or bank transfer** | They don't take cheques |
