My BTO Reno Journey
I need to share something — my HDB toilet door has been driving me crazy .
For those who don't know me , my page is mostly about home stuff. the question I get most is : how to fix a toilet door that hits everything .
So here we go .
---
## My Old Door Was Honestly A Mess
{My flat is a resale HDB in Sengkang. Normal HDB la.
{The original toilet door? Don't even get me started . | It was one of those cheap developer-installed doors with the bottom track that collects... everything .
Every time I opened the door , it would bang into the washing machine . My husband kept complaining .
{After far too many bruised elbows, I finally started googling like crazy .
That's how I found them.

## I Did My Homework Lah
{Okay let me be real — I was skeptical at first . There are so many door suppliers in Singapore .
But here is what made me feel safe about Renovaid Team:
| What I Checked | Result |
|------------------------------|-----------------------|
| **Are they legit** | Yes — they are BCA registered CR18 . That's actually important for HDB renovations. |
| **Reviews** | Mostly positive feedback. People said they were professional and no hidden fees. |
| **No Middleman** | They manufacture in Woodlands . This usually means better prices and quality control. |
| **Years in Business** | Been around for a while. So they probably know what they're doing. |
Another thing — they have a no-call policy which is super convenient. I hate phone calls anyway .

## The Door I Got
{I ended up getting their **Slide and Swing Door** . Yes the one that slides first then swings .
Here is why I picked this instead of a normal bifold:
{First — **no bottom track** . The mould situation is no joke . With this door, I just mop right through .
{Second — **space saving** . Because it slides first, it doesn't need that big clearance zone . My bathroom actually feels bigger now .
{Third — **waterproof** . Won't swell or rot. In our Singapore weather? Must have .
{I chose the matte grey option. Honestly looks expensive.

## The Process – What Actually Happened
Let me break down what happened so you know what to expect .
### Message 9898 9268
{I sent a WhatsApp to **9898 9268** . No drama.
{They replied within a few hours . Asked for basic info like flat type and measurements.
Pro tip from me: Measure your door opening first before you message . Saves time .
### 2. Free Measurement Visit
{They scheduled a complimentary home visit. Actually showed up when they said.
{He brought colour samples and catalogues . We chose the design together .
{They took the 50% deposit or $100 minimum during this visit. I paid via PayNow .
⚠️ **Important:** Make sure the person making decisions is home for this. Someone who can say yes or no must be there. Trust me on this.
### Manufacturing Time
{After I approved the design and paid, they said 14 to 21 working days . Mine took exactly 18 days .
Honestly the wait felt quite long . But they did warn me beforehand . Busied myself with other reno stuff.
### 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 . Friendly guy, wore a uniform, had all his tools .
Whole thing took about 90 minutes. He:
- Removed and disposed of the old door
- Fixed the new one in
- Cleaned up the mess
Before leaving, he asked me to test the door . Showed me how the mechanism works and how to clean it .
I paid the rest of the payment via PayNow. Exactly what they quoted.

## Living With It — Real Talk
{Okay so it's been more than 30 days now. No filter, no sponsorship — I paid for this myself.
** Worth every dollar .**
### The Good Stuff
- ** The space thing** — Seriously my bathroom feels way bigger . No more door hitting the washing machine .
- **No bottom track ** — I just mop right under the door. My back thanks me.
- ** Aesthetic** — {The grey powder coated finish doesn't look cheap at all.
- **Water resistant ** — Looks exactly like the day it was installed. For Singapore weather? Exactly what we need .
### Minor Annoyances
I'm really trying to think of negatives . But if I'm being totally honest :
- 18 days was quite long. So I can't complain too much.
- Must WhatsApp first. A bit troublesome but ok la .
That's all I got. No major issues .

## Yes I Went Back
This is the funny part — after the toilet door, I ended up getting Renovaid to do my whole flat.
### Bedroom Doors
{My old bedroom doors were hollow core and felt cheap .
Got the solid core option. Much quieter now . {The laminate finish is scratch resistant (important because I have a cat) and water resistant.
If you need bedroom doors, check out their **[bedroom doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/bedroom-doors.html)** . They have different budgets and materials .
### Common Toilet Door
For my common bathroom, I got a **premium aluminium bifold door** from their **[toilet doors page](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/toilet-doors-replacement.html)** .
Fits perfectly. Nearly 100% opening.

1. ** Get your measurements ready** — You'll need it anyway.
2. **Make sure the decision maker is home for measurement ** — Trust me on this.
3. **Expect a 3-4 week wait ** — Good doors take time to make .
4. ** Pay via PayNow or bank transfer** — They don't take cheques .
5. ** Check everything before they go** — Once they drive off, harder to fix.
6. ** Don't just show up** — You will be turned away if you walk in without booking.
