## From WhatsApp to Installation
Let me walk you through exactly what happened, so you know what to expect.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.
They asked for:
- Door size
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **free on-site measurement** .
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought finish options and brochures
- We chose our design – grey frame with acrylic panel
- 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.
Also, make sure the **decision maker** is home. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
After we confirmed the design and paid the deposit, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. Ours took exactly 18 days.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. 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 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)
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to try opening and closing it to make sure we were 100% happy. He even explained the cleaning process.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Our Verdict After 30 Days
After 30 days of daily use: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Feature | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **No Bottom Track** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **Smooth Operation** | Glides like butter. Quiet and effortless. |
| **Water Resistance** | Zero swelling, warping, or slide and swing door price rot. Perfect for HDB bathrooms. |
| **Aesthetics** | The grey powder coated finish is gorgeous. Sleek and premium. |
### Minor Downsides
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Lead time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **Cancellation fee** – Fair, but good to know. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **No walk-ins** – You can't just show up at their showroom. WhatsApp first!
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

No hidden fees. No surprises. No fine print.

## We Loved It So Much – We Bought More Doors!
Here is the funny part – we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Bedroom Doors – Solid Core Laminate
You could hear everything through them.
We upgraded to **solid core laminate bedroom doors** from Renovaid Team.
The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy cat) and moisture resistant.
They have options for all price points:
- Hollow core
- Solid core
- Nyatoh plywood
- Natural wood look
- Scratch resistant
We went with solid core laminate and have no complaints.
### We Did the Common Toilet Too
We also replaced the door for our common bathroom. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.
The bifold is great for narrower spaces.
If you need a toilet door, their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** has:
- Basic ($189)
- Mid range
- Top hung roller ($259-269)
Truly something for everyone.
