Frequently Asked Questions
What causes bunk bed ladders to go wobbly?
Usually loose bolts or worn brackets. Kids climbing up and down constantly puts strain on the fixings. Regular tightening helps, but eventually parts wear out.
Can you replace individual rungs?
Sometimes - depends on the ladder design. Some have replaceable rungs, others are welded or one-piece. We'll assess what's possible.
Is it worth repairing or should we replace the whole bed?
Most ladder repairs are straightforward and much cheaper than a new bed. Unless the bed frame itself is damaged, repair usually makes sense.
My child fell off a wobbly ladder - should I worry?
Get the ladder fixed or don't let them use the top bunk until it's repaired. Wobbly ladders are a genuine fall risk, especially for half-asleep children at night.
