My BTO Reno Journey

I need to share something — the bathroom door situation in my flat was getting ridiculous .

For those who don't know me , I share a lot about my BTO reno . the question I get most is : what to do when your bathroom door keeps jamming.

Let me finally answer that .

---

## My Old Door Was Honestly A Mess

{My flat is a resale HDB in Woodlands. Normal HDB la.

{The original toilet door? Wah, really cannot make it . | It was one of those cheap developer-installed doors with the aluminium track that traps hair and dust.

I'm not exaggerating but , it would knock against the sink. Even my helper said something.

{After far too many bruised elbows, I finally went online to find a solution .

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

## I Did My Homework Lah

{Okay let me be real — I did my research. The market is flooded with options .

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

| What I Checked | Result |

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

| **BCA Registration** | Yes — they are BCA registered CR18 . 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. |

| **Experience** | Been around for a while. So they probably know what they're doing. |

Another thing — they have a WhatsApp only policy which works for me . 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 .

Why this one specifically?

{First — **trackless design** . The mould situation is no joke . With this door, cleaning takes 2 seconds .

{Second — **space saving** . Because it slides first, it doesn't need that awkward space to open. My bathroom actually feels bigger now .

{Third — **waterproof** . It's made of aluminium and acrylic, not wood . In our Singapore weather? Must have .

{I chose the grey powder coated finish . Looks quite atas actually .

For those curious about the design, **[check out their page here](https://www.renovaid.com.sg/slide-and-swing-doors.html)** . The photos online are accurate .

## My Experience From Start to End

Let me break down what happened so you don't go in blind.

### 1. WhatsApp First

{I sent a WhatsApp to **9898 9268** . Took two minutes .

{They replied pretty fast — same day actually. Asked for my door size, location, what I needed .

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

### Someone Came To My Flat

{They scheduled a complimentary home visit. The guy came within the promised time window .

{He brought colour samples and catalogues . I picked grey with a simple panel.

{They took the 50% deposit or $100 minimum during this visit. Super convenient — no cheque nonsense.

⚠️ **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 confirmed everything , they said about 3-4 weeks. Came right in the middle of the estimate.

Honestly the wait tested my patience a bit. Not like they kept me in the dark. 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 around that time. Friendly guy, wore a uniform, had all his tools .

Whole thing took about 1.5 hours . He:

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

- Fixed the new one in

- Cleaned up the mess

Before he packed up, 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. No surprises, no extra charges .

## Living With It — Real Talk

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

** Worth every dollar .**

### The Good Stuff

- **Space saving ** — I can actually open the door fully now. No more door hitting the washing machine .

- ** Trackless floor** — I just mop right under the door. No scrubbing mouldy tracks .

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

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

### The Not So Good

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.

- **Appointment only showroom** — You cannot just show up at their Woodlands place . Just plan ahead.

That's really it . Nothing to warn you about.

## $399 For Everything

I got it during their promotion :

** Single door package — $399 all-in**

And this $399 included :

✅ They came to measure

✅ Free delivery

✅ Professional installation

✅ Free disposal of old door

No GST surprise . The price was the price.

In Singapore renovation terms? A pleasant surprise.

## One Good Door Led To More

This is the funny part — after the toilet door, I ended up replacing all my old doors .

### Bedroom Doors

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

Got the solid core option. Way more solid. {The laminate finish is pretty durable 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 .

### The Second Bathroom

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.

## Advice From Someone Who Did It

If you're thinking of getting a door from Renovaid Team, here is my tips:

1. ** Get your measurements ready** — You'll need it anyway.

2. ** The homeowner must be there** — Don't send your helper or someone who can't choose colours .

3. ** Be patient with the lead time** — Plan your renovation schedule around this.

4. **Use PayNow — no cheques ** — 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.
