A kitchen splashback helps protect walls from cooking splashes, moisture and everyday stains. It also connects the visual design of your cabinets, benchtops and surrounding finishes.
Kitchen Renovations North Shore helps homeowners choose suitable splashback materials and plan installation. We consider cleaning, appearance, wall condition and heat requirements around cooking appliances.
Splashback materials differ in appearance, cleaning requirements and installation limitations. We discuss suitable options based on their intended position and the surrounding kitchen.
Tiles offer a wide range of colours, patterns and sizes. Grout selection, cleaning and layout around outlets are important considerations.
Glass can provide a smooth finish with fewer visible joins. Appropriate glass specifications, measuring and heat-clearance requirements are essential.
Suitable panels can create a simple, continuous appearance. Manufacturer guidance should be checked for heat, moisture and installation limitations.
Removing old tiles or panels may affect the wall beneath. We consider preparation and repair requirements before replacement.
A suitable wall surface supports correct installation. We consider alignment, corners, edges and sealing requirements.
Materials installed near cooktops must suit the expected heat exposure and comply with applicable appliance clearance requirements.

The splashback is fitted and finished.
A splashback must be easy to wipe down and appropriate for the heat and moisture exposure where it is fitted. Tiles offer flexibility in pattern and repair, while glass and large-format panels can reduce grout lines. The right choice depends on the hob type, wall condition and the required clearances. Check product and appliance manufacturer requirements rather than assuming every decorative surface is suitable behind a cooktop.
Small-format tiles introduce more grout joints, which can be attractive but need thoughtful cleaning and sealing where appropriate. Large-format finishes rely on careful measuring and neatly resolved edges. Plan the relationship between splashback height, window sills, sockets and under-cabinet lighting before ordering materials. Sample panels can look different under warm task lighting compared with showroom lighting.
A sound, clean and suitably flat substrate helps prevent an uneven finish. Removal of old tiles may damage plasterboard and should be allowed for in the scope. Discuss splashback termination points, corner joints, silicone seals and curing time. Electrical outlets may need an authorised person to disconnect or adjust them, depending on the work involved.
To discuss your particular kitchen and request a scope-based estimate, send an enquiry. You can also explore our North Shore service areas and other kitchen renovation services.
Before approving a splashback, place samples against the selected benchtop and cabinet doors. A white tile can look warm or cool depending on adjacent materials, while grout colour can change the appearance of an entire wall. Consider the placement of outlets and switches, especially where a repeating tile pattern could make misalignment obvious. Ask how internal corners and exposed ends will be finished and whether the installer plans to use trims or neatly cut edges. Behind a cooking appliance, suitability is a technical requirement as well as a design decision; check the clearances and material guidance for the particular hob. For an existing kitchen, allow for wall repairs after removal of old tiles or panels, as the underlying surface may not be ready for immediate installation.
