## {How This Trackless Toilet 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 pocket door, then **opens like a regular door**. Because it slides first, it needs **minimal clearance** to open.
Here is why this matters for HDB flats:
- **Trackless floor** – Finally, a toilet door without bottom track!
- **Space saving magic** – Our bathroom feels twice as spacious
- **Waterproof & humidity resistant** – Made of rust resistant materials
- **Modern aesthetic** – Looks modern and expensive
{Curious about the design options? **[Check out Renovaid Team's Slide and Swing Door page here](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/slide-and-swing-doors.html)** . The photos look great, but it's even better in person.

## {Our Small Bathroom Nightmare
Let me paint you a picture of our old HDB toilet door.
Every time someone opened the door, it smashed into the washing machine.
We tried living with it for far too long.
That's when I started searching online for terms like:
- "space saving toilet door Singapore"
- "HDB toilet door replacement"
- "trackless toilet door"
That's how I discovered **Renovaid Team**.

## What to Expect When You Order
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 replied within a few hours – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
- Doorway measurements
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### Step 2: Home Visit
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 picked our preferred style – grey frame with acrylic panel
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. No cheques – we used PayNow.
Don't send your helper. Learn from my mistake!
### 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**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was completely worth the wait.
### What Happened on Installation Day
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a website 1-2 hour arrival window. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before packing up, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Verdict After 30 Days
It's been over a month now, and here is my unfiltered opinion: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Feature | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **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. |
| **Water Resistance** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Contemporary and premium. |
### Minor Downsides
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 18 days felt long, but they warned us. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **Cancellation fee** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **No walk-ins** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So message before you go.
That's literally it.

## Was It Worth $399?
Here is what we paid:
**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
The price included:

No GST surprise. No "transportation fee". No "weekend surcharge".

## We Loved It So Much – We Bought More Doors!
Here is the funny part – We were so impressed with the slide and swing, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Why We Upgraded Our Bedroom Doors Too
Our old bedroom doors were flimsy and sounded hollow.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
Perfect for HDB living.
They have options for all price points:
- Budget friendly
- Premium option
- Nyatoh plywood
- Veneer
- Laminate
We went with solid core laminate and have no complaints.
### The Second Bathroom Got an Upgrade 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 nearly 100% clearance.
For anyone needing a toilet door replacement, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:
- Basic ($189)
- Premium ($199-229)
