## From First Contact to Installation
Let me walk you through exactly how it worked, 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.
- Door size
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
**Pro tip:** Have your measurements ready before you message.
### The Measurer Came to Us
Booking was easy – just a few messages back and forth.
On the day of the visit:
- The technician arrived within the promised window
- He brought colour samples and catalogues
- We chose our design – white powder coated finish
- He measured everything twice like a true professional
One thing to know: A deposit is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Don't send a family member who can't approve things. Learn from my mistake!
### Step 3: The Manufacturing Period
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **about 3-4 weeks**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait felt long. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### Finally – Door Goes Up
The night before, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a time slot. They gave us a morning slot.
The installer arrived at the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
The whole job was done in 90 minutes.
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Installed the new slide and swing door
- Cleaned up everything before leaving
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. He even showed us how to maintain it.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

## Would We Recommend It?
After 30 days of daily use: **We absolutely love it.**
### The Good (Lots of This)
| Aspect | What We Think |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Saving** | Bathroom feels 50% bigger. Game changer for small HDB bathrooms. |
| **Trackless Floor** | Cleaning is SO easy now. Goodbye mouldy bifold door grooves. |
| **How It Feels** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Water Resistance** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Looks** | Looks way more expensive than $399. Sleek and expensive. |
### The Not-So-Good (Very Little)
Honestly, there's very little to dislike, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Plan your renovation schedule accordingly.
- **$40 charge** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Just be aware before booking.
- **Appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. So message before you go.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

## How We Ended Up Replacing All Our Doors
This surprised even me: we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up replacing ALL our old doors.
### Why We Upgraded Our Bedroom Doors Too
Our old bedroom doors were flimsy and sounded hollow.
The difference is night and day.
Perfect for Singapore's climate.
They have options for every budget:
- Budget friendly
- Solid core
- 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. That one got a top hung roller bifold door.
It folds nearly 100% clearance.
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.
