The kitchen splashback protects the wall behind your hob and worktop from heat, grease and moisture, while also acting as a key design statement.
Popular Splashback Tile Options
Metro tiles remain hugely popular in UK kitchens for their clean lines and versatility. Large-format porcelain slabs create a dramatic, seamless look. Glass tiles are easy to clean and reflect light well. Natural stone such as marble or travertine adds luxury but requires sealing and regular maintenance.
How Much Does a Kitchen Splashback Cost?
| Splashback Type | Approximate Cost (supply and fit) |
|---|---|
| Metro tiles (standard kitchen width) | 150-350 |
| Porcelain tiles | 200-600 |
| Natural stone tiles | 350-900 |
| Full wall extension | 400-1,200 |
What to Ask Your Tiler
Confirm that your tiler will seal any tiles that require it, use appropriate heat-resistant adhesive near the hob, and apply a neat silicone bead along the worktop join rather than just grouting.
