FAQs

Can this splashback be cut to size?

No, this product is pre-sized and cannot be cut. Modifying the toughened glass will compromise its integrity and safety.

What is the warranty period for this splashback?

The Splashback Crystal Clear Bathroom Splashback comes with a five-year manufacturer's guarantee, subject to terms and conditions.

Is installation suitable for a DIY enthusiast?

Yes, with pre-drilled holes and a provided fixing kit, installation is straightforward and suitable for DIY enthusiasts. Ensure you have basic tools and follow the instructions carefully.

How do I clean the bronze caps?

The bronze caps can be cleaned using the same method as the glass: a soft cloth with warm, soapy water. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What should I do if a part is missing from the fixing kit?

Please contact the retailer or manufacturer's customer service directly, referencing your purchase details and the missing part, to arrange for replacements.

Is the glass safe if it breaks?

The splashback is made from 4mm toughened glass, which is designed to shatter into small, relatively harmless pieces if broken, making it safer than standard glass.

Can I install this over existing tiles?

It is recommended to install this splashback over a smooth, flat surface. Installing over uneven tiles may not result in a flush fit and could affect its stability.

Troubleshooting

Splashback is not sitting flush against the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is perfectly flat and free from any debris. Check that the screws are not overtightened, which can warp the glass. Ensure wall plugs (if used) are correctly seated.

Difficulty aligning holes during installation.

Slightly loosen the screws on one side after initial placement, adjust the splashback for perfect alignment, and then tighten all screws securely. If marking the wall, double-check measurements and ensure the splashback was held perfectly level.

Visible smudges or streaks after cleaning.

Use a glass cleaner specifically designed for mirrors or windows, or a solution of water and white vinegar. Dry immediately with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth to avoid streaks.
