Why Tile Your Splashback?
A tiled splashback is the most durable and long-lasting splashback option available. Unlike glass splashbacks that can crack if not properly supported, or painted surfaces that peel with steam and heat exposure, ceramic and porcelain tiles are designed for exactly this environment. They’re easy to wipe clean, resistant to heat and steam, and with proper installation, will last the lifetime of your kitchen.
Our tilers also ensure the silicone expansion joints at the benchtop-to-tile junction and around any penetrations (power outlets, rangehood duct, etc.) are neatly done and fully waterproof — something that’s often neglected and leads to water damage behind the splashback over time.
What to Expect During Installation
- Measure & quote — We measure your splashback area and provide a fixed price inclusive of materials and labour
- Surface preparation — We prep the wall surface for tiling, which may include priming or applying a tile backer board if needed
- Tile layout — We plan the layout to ensure cuts are neat and the pattern is centred and balanced
- Tile installation — Tiles are adhered and grouted, with power outlets removed and reinstated by a licensed electrician if required
- Silicone finishing — Expansion joints and perimeter silicone are applied neatly in a matching colour
- Clean up & inspection — We clean all tile faces and grout haze before doing a final walk-through with you
