Your splashback options
Tiled splashback
Flexible choice of colours, sizes and styles. We can coordinate the tiler.
Matching slab splashback
Creates a continuous appearance with fewer grout lines, using the same surface as your new benchtop.
Porcelain / sintered splashback
A durable large-format option for suitable projects, including behind a cooktop.

Benchtop and splashback together
Replacing both gives the biggest visual change for a kitchen you're keeping. Doing the benchtop and splashback as one coordinated project allows the removal, new benchtop and finishing work to be planned together rather than organising separate projects later.
- The new splashback covers any marks left on the wall when the old benchtop comes out.
- Materials can be matched or deliberately contrasted, chosen together from the start.
Splashback only
If your benchtop is fairly new and in good condition, a splashback on its own is possible. The new splashback has to sit neatly on the existing benchtop, so we'll look at its condition and level from your photos first.
Removing the existing splashback
Tiled splashbacks are usually removed back to the wall, and the wall may need patching before the new splashback goes on. Glass or panel splashbacks can often come off more cleanly. Where power points sit in the splashback area, an electrician may need to adjust or refit them; we coordinate this where included.
Cost
Splashback cost depends on the area, the material, the number of power point cutouts and whether the old splashback has to be removed. See the cost guide for how a combined project price is built up, and compare surface options.
