## The Ordering Process – Step by Step
Here is a step by step breakdown of our toilet door replacement journey.
### Step 1: WhatsApp Message – 9898 9268
The first thing I did was message their WhatsApp number.
They responded quickly – no phone calls needed.
- Doorway measurements
- Postal code
- 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.
What happened during 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 50% deposit or minimum $100 is required during the visit. We paid via PayNow – super easy.
Also, make sure the **person who calls the shots** is home. Ask me how I know.
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
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.
I was getting antsy by week three. But when they finally messaged us, it was worth every day.
### Finally – Door Goes Up
The evening before installation, their office sent a WhatsApp message with a 1-2 hour arrival window. Ours was 10am-12pm.
The installer arrived at 10:30 AM. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Removed our old rotting wooden door
- Put in our brand new space saving door
- Made sure there was no mess
Before he left, he asked us to test the door to make sure we were 100% happy. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

It's been over a month now, and here is my unfiltered opinion: **Best home improvement decision we made for 2026.**
### The Benefits
| Aspect | Our Experience |
|-----------------|-------------------------------|
| **Space Efficiency** | No more door-to-toilet collisions. Game changer for compact Singapore toilets. |
| **No Bottom Track** | I just mop right under the door. No more scrubbing gunk out of tracks. |
| **How It Feels** | The mechanism is so smooth. No squeaking, no sticking. |
| **Humidity Proof** | Zero swelling, warping, or rot. Perfect for Singapore's humidity. |
| **Aesthetics** | check here Looks way more expensive than $399. Contemporary and premium. |
### What Could Be Better
I'm struggling to find negatives, but if I had to nitpick:
- **Wait time** – 3 weeks was tough but expected. Order early if you're in a rush
- **$40 charge** – $40 if you cancel after measurement. Reasonable – their time isn't free
- **Appointment only** – Their Woodlands showroom is strictly by appointment. So message before you go.
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel here.

**1 Set Slide & Swing Toilet Door – $399 Nett**
And here is exactly what that $399 covered:

## How We Ended Up Replacing All Our Doors
Here is the funny part – we were so happy with the toilet door, we ended up getting Renovaid to do every door in our house.
### 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.
The laminate finish is scratch-resistant (important with our crazy cat) and moisture resistant.
They have options for all price points:
- Hollow core
- Premium option
- Nyatoh plywood
- Natural wood look
- Scratch resistant
We went with the premium option and have zero regrets.
### We Did the Common Toilet Too
While we were at it, we did the second toilet too. 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:
- Basic ($189)
- Premium ($199-229)
- Top hung roller ($259-269)
Something for every budget.
