My BTO Reno Journey

I need to share something — my HDB toilet door has been driving me crazy .

For context , I share a lot about my BTO reno . everyone keeps asking me: what to do when your bathroom door keeps jamming.

Time to spill the tea.

## My Old Door Was Honestly A Mess

{My flat is a BTO in Sengkang. Pretty standard .

{The original toilet door? Total disaster. | It was one of those old bifold doors with the aluminium track that traps hair and dust.

I kid you not, it would hit the toilet bowl . Even my helper said something.

{After months of this nonsense , I finally went online to find a solution .

That's when I came across **Renovaid Team** .

## What Made Me Decide

{Okay let me be real — I was skeptical at first . The market is flooded with options .

But here is what made me feel safe about Renovaid Team:

| What I Checked | What I Found |

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

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

| **What others say** | Mostly positive feedback. People said they were professional and no hidden fees. |

| **Direct Factory** | Not just a reseller. 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. |

Also, 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 hybrid door .

Here is why I picked this instead of a normal bifold:

{First — **trackless design** . Scrubbing those grooves is my least favourite chore. With this door, cleaning takes 2 seconds .

{Second — **the clearance thing** . Because it slides first, it doesn't need that huge arc . My bathroom actually feels bigger now .

{Third — **humidity resistant** . It's made of aluminium and acrylic, not wood . In our Singapore weather? Non-negotiable.

{I chose the grey powder coated finish . Honestly looks expensive.

If you want to see the exact door, **[check out their page here](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/slide-and-swing-doors.html)** . The photos online are accurate .

## Step By Step, No BS

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

### Message 9898 9268

{I sent a WhatsApp to **9898 9268** . Super easy .

{They replied within a few hours . Asked for my door size, location, what I needed .

Pro tip from me: Measure your door opening first before you message . Saves time .

### 2. Free Measurement Visit

{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. Super convenient — no cheque nonsense.

⚠️ **Important:** Make sure the person making decisions is home for this. Don't send your helper or maid . Trust me on this.

### 3. The Wait

{After I confirmed everything , they said about 3-4 weeks. Mine took exactly 18 days .

Honestly the wait felt quite long . Not like they kept me in the dark. I just tried to be patient .

### 4. Installation Day

The evening before, they WhatsApp-ed me a 1-2 hour time window . Mine was 10am to 12pm .

{The installer came at 10.30am . Professional la.

Whole thing took about 90 minutes. He:

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

- Fixed the new one in

- more info Cleaned up the mess

Before he packed up, he asked me to try opening and closing it. Even gave maintenance tips.

I paid the remaining balance via PayNow. No surprises, no extra charges .

## Honest Review

{Okay so it's been over a month now. Here is my honest take .

**I really like it .**

### What I Love

- **Space saving ** — Seriously my bathroom feels way bigger . No more door hitting the washing machine .

- **No bottom track ** — Cleaning is so much easier . My back thanks me.

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

- ** Humidity proof** — No swelling, no warping, no rot . For Singapore weather? A must.

### The Not So Good

I'm really trying to think of negatives . But if I'm being super nitpicky:

- 18 days was quite long. So I can't complain too much.

- Must WhatsApp first. Just plan ahead.

That's all I got. No major issues .

They had an offer going on:

**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door — $399 Nett **

And this $399 included :

## Yes I Went Back

I wasn't planning to but after the toilet door, I ended up getting Renovaid to do my whole flat.

### The Room Doors

{My old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap .

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

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

### Common Toilet Door

For the other toilet, 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 .
