Tile, glass or a matching surface
Tile gives control over colour, pattern and set-out; glass offers a continuous surface; a matching benchtop material can connect the two surfaces. Compare cleaning needs and the required junctions.
Kitchen Splashbacks Sydney
The splashback is the part of the kitchen your eye lands on every time you cook, so we plan it to sit right with your benchtop and cabinetry and to wipe clean in seconds.

What the service covers
Kitchen splashbacks, planned around the room.
A splashback protects the busiest wall in the kitchen and brings the room together. We plan porcelain, glass, tile or stone with the benchtop, cabinetry colours and appliance positions, either as a replacement surface or part of a full kitchen renovation.
Measured after the benchtop
The final splashback measure follows the finished benchtop position, with power points, the rangehood and window reveals set out before any panel or tile is ordered.
- Glass splashbacks in your chosen colour, including backlit
- Tile splashbacks, from subway to large-format and feature tile
- Stone and porcelain splashbacks that match the benchtop
- Replacement splashbacks for an existing kitchen
- Coordination with benchtop, cabinetry colour and appliances
- Cut-outs for powerpoints, rangehoods and window reveals
Price guide
What shapes the cost of a kitchen splashback.
The main cost drivers are the material you choose (tile, glass or stone), the size and shape of the wall, and how many cut-outs are needed for powerpoints, windows and the rangehood. A backlit glass panel, a feature tile or a stone splashback that wraps to match the benchtop will sit above a plain tiled run, and whether it is a fresh install or a replacement over an existing surface also plays a part. Settling the material and cut-outs at the measure keeps the quote tied to the finish you want.
- Tiled splashback for a typical kitchen
- $1,000–$2,500
- Coloured glass splashback
- $1,500–$3,500
- Porcelain or stone slab splashback
- $3,000–$6,000

Choosing the finish
Match the splashback to the benchtop, doors and cooktop.
Cleaning, heat near the cooktop and the junction with the benchtop decide which material suits the wall.
Height, sockets and appliance clearances
Plan splashback height, socket positions, corners and the cooktop area together. Material and clearance requirements must suit the appliance and the surrounding surfaces.
Colour and final measurement
Choose colour and finish alongside the doors and benchtop. Check samples in the room and confirm the finished benchtop position before final splashback measurement.
How splashbacks are fitted
Choose the finish and measure it against the completed surfaces.

Before you enquire
Splashback questions.
Answers on fitting times, porcelain, glass and tile, replacements and matching the benchtop.
How long does it take to install a kitchen splashback?
Most splashbacks are measured up first, then made and fitted in one short visit once the panel or tile is ready. Glass and stone usually need a fabrication lead time after the measure, while a replacement splashback in an existing kitchen is generally a quick install. We confirm timing once the material is chosen.
What is the best splashback material for a kitchen?
It depends on the look and how much cleaning you want to do. Glass and stone wipe clean in one pass with no grout lines and suit a sleek, continuous look, while tile gives you more colour and pattern. We help you weigh finish, clean-ability and budget at the measure.
Can I replace just the splashback without redoing the whole kitchen?
Yes. A replacement splashback can be planned on its own, including the old-surface, measurement, material and fitting requirements. It is a focused way to refresh a kitchen while coordinating the wall with the benchtop and cabinetry colours.
Are glass splashbacks better than tiles?
Neither is simply better; they suit different kitchens. Glass gives a smooth, grout-free wall in any colour and can be backlit, which makes it very easy to wipe down behind the cooktop. Tile offers more texture and pattern. We match the choice to your benchtop, cabinetry and how the kitchen is used.
Can the splashback be matched to the benchtop?
Yes. Stone and porcelain splashbacks can be cut from the same material as the benchtop for a continuous run, and glass or tile can be selected to complement it. We plan the splashback and benchtop together at the measure so the colours and edges line up.
Which parts of Sydney can send a splashback enquiry?
We take splashback work across our Sydney service area. Replacement splashbacks and those in a full renovation are both measured on site, so include your suburb when you enquire.
