My BTO Reno Journey

Guys, can we talk for a sec — my HDB toilet door has been driving me crazy .

If you're new here, my page is mostly about home stuff. the question I get most is : where to find a good space saving door in Singapore .

Time to spill the tea.

## The Door Drama Started Here

{My flat is a resale HDB in Tampines. Pretty standard .

{The original toilet door? Total disaster. | It was one of those cheap developer-installed doors with the bottom track that collects... everything .

I kid you not, it would knock against the sink. My roommate was annoyed .

{After months of this nonsense , I finally started googling like crazy .

That's how I found them.

## I Did My Homework Lah

{Okay let me be real — I did my research. There are so many door suppliers in Singapore .

But here is what gave me peace of mind about Renovaid Team:

| My Research | What I Found |

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

| **Are they legit** | Proper certified, not some fly-by-night. That's actually important for HDB renovations. |

| **What others say** | 4.8-5 stars on Google . People said they were professional and no hidden fees. |

| **Direct Factory** | They manufacture in Woodlands . This usually means better prices and quality control. |

| **Years in Business** | Since 2014 — that's over 10 years . So they probably know what they're doing. |

Plus, they have a no-call policy which works for me . Not a phone person la.

## My New Slide and Swing Door

{I ended up getting their **Slide and Swing Door** . The space saving one.

Why this one specifically?

{First — **trackless design** . The mould situation is no joke . With this door, I just mop right through .

{Second — **space saving** . Since it glides sideways before swinging, it doesn't need that big clearance zone . My bathroom actually feels less cramped now .

{Third — **waterproof** . It's made of aluminium and acrylic, not wood . In our Singapore weather? Must have .

{I chose the matte grey option. Looks quite atas actually .

For those curious about the design, **[check out their page here](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/slide-and-swing-doors.html)** . What you see is what you get.

## The Process – What Actually Happened

Let me break down what happened so you're not confused like I was .

### 1. WhatsApp First

{I sent a WhatsApp to **9898 9268** . No drama.

{They replied within a few hours . Asked for basic info like flat type and measurements.

Take my advice: Measure your door opening first before you message . Saves time .

### Someone Came To My Flat

{They scheduled a complimentary home visit. The guy came within the promised time window .

{He brought physical finish options to see. We chose the design together .

{They took the deposit during this visit. I paid via PayNow .

⚠️ **Important:** Make sure the person making decisions is home for this. Don't send your helper or maid . I learned this the hard way .

### 3. The Wait

{After I approved the design and paid, they said 14 to 21 working days . Mine took exactly 18 days .

Honestly the wait tested my patience a bit. Not like they kept me in the dark. Busied myself with other reno stuff.

### 4. Installation Day

The night before, they WhatsApp-ed me a arrival slot. Morning slot.

{The installer came at around that time. Friendly guy, wore a uniform, had all his tools .

Whole thing took about 90 minutes. He:

- Took out my old door (which was honestly rotting at the bottom — gross)

- Installed the new slide and swing door

- Cleaned up the mess

Before he packed up, he asked me to test the door . Showed me how the mechanism works and how to clean it .

I paid the remaining balance via PayNow. Exactly what they quoted.

## What I Think After One Month

{Okay so it's been more than 30 days now. No filter, no sponsorship — I paid for this myself.

** Worth every dollar .**

### What I Love

- **Space saving ** — Seriously my bathroom feels way bigger . That alone is worth it.

- **No bottom track ** — I just mop right under the door. My back thanks me.

- **Looks good ** — {The grey powder coated finish doesn't look cheap at all.

- **Water resistant ** — Looks exactly like the day it was installed. For Singapore weather? Exactly what we need .

### The Not So Good

I'm really trying to think of negatives . But if I'm being totally honest :

- **The wait** — 3 weeks felt like forever . But they did warn me upfront .

- Must WhatsApp first. Just plan ahead.

That's really it . Nothing to warn you about.

## How Much I Paid

They had an offer going on:

** Single door package — $399 all-in**

Here is what that price covered:

✅ Free on-site measurement

✅ Brought to my flat

✅ Proper fitting by BCA contractor

✅ Free disposal of old door

No weekend surcharge. The price was the price.

In Singapore renovation terms? That's actually really good .

## One Good Door Led To More

This is the funny part — after the toilet door, I ended up replacing all my old doors .

### The Room Doors

{My old bedroom doors were flimsy and you could hear everything through them.

I upgraded to **solid core laminate doors** from them . Way more solid. {The laminate finish is scratch resistant (important because I have a cat) and water resistant.

If you need bedroom doors, check out their **[bedroom doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** . They have different budgets and materials .

### The Second Bathroom

For my common bathroom, I got a **premium aluminium bifold door** from their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** .

Fits perfectly. The bifold folds almost completely flat .

## What I Wish I Knew Earlier

If this review helped and you want to buy, here is my advice:

1. **Measure your doorway first ** — You'll need it anyway.

2. **Make sure the decision maker is home for measurement ** — Don't send your helper or someone who can't choose colours .

3. **Expect a 3-4 week wait ** — Good doors take time to make .

4. **Use PayNow — no cheques ** — Cash, PayNow, PayLah only.

5. ** Check everything before they go** — Open and close it, check the lock, make sure you're happy .

6. **WhatsApp before going to their showroom ** — Their Woodlands place is appointment only .

## WhatsApp Is The Way

Here is what worked for me :

???? ** Message 9898 9268** – They are strictly WhatsApp only. Usually reply within a few hours.

???? **Showroom: 280 Woodlands Industrial Park E5, #05-21, Harvest, Singapore 757322 ** – Do NOT just show up — WhatsApp first!

???? ** Closed Sundays and public holidays**

A simple WhatsApp with your measurements is enough to start.

Your sanity will thank you. Trust me.

## Don't Wait Too Long

The $399 slide and swing door promotion is valid until get more info **31 May 2026** .

{If you're considering it , I'd message them now to lock in the price . Push the date out if you're not ready.

{Future you will be happy you did.
