## From First Contact to Installation
Here is a step by step breakdown of our toilet door replacement journey.
### Step 1: First Contact – 9898 9268
I sent a WhatsApp message to **9898 9268**.
They responded quickly – strictly WhatsApp only, which I actually appreciated.
- Door size
- HDB location
- What type of door we needed
Saves time.
### Step 2: Home Visit
We scheduled a **complimentary home visit** .
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 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.
Don't send your helper. Learn from my mistake!
### Be Patient – Quality Takes Time
Once we signed off, we were told installation would take **14 to 21 working days**. We waited 18 days – right in the middle of their estimate.
Not gonna lie – the wait tested my patience. But when installation day finally arrived, it was completely worth the wait.
### Step 4: The Big Day
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 the promised time. Professional, polite, and clearly experienced.
He:
- Removed our more info 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 completely satisfied. Great after-sales service.
Settled the balance – no surprises, no hidden fees.

- **$40 charge** – Fair, but good to know. Just be aware before booking.
- **Appointment only** – You can't just show up at their showroom. WhatsApp first!
That's literally it.
