A Splashback That Lasts
Tiles themselves are tough and rarely fail. When a tiled splashback does have problems, it's almost always because the adhesive or grout wasn't prepared properly, or has broken down over time.
That's the part we pay most attention to: the preparation behind the tiles and the grout between them.
What makes it last
Three Things That Matter More Than the Tile
Pick any tile you love. These are what decide how long it keeps looking that way.
- 01
The adhesive
Prepared and applied properly, so every tile stays put.
- 02
The grout
Usually cement-based, which can stain and hold mould. The right grout, sealed, is easier to keep clean.
- 03
Waterproofing
In wet areas, a membrane behind the tiles, so even if the grout lets water through, the wall won't rot.

Why do some tiled splashbacks fail?
Tiles themselves are tough and rarely fail. When a splashback has problems, it's almost always because the grout or adhesive wasn't prepared properly, or has broken down over time.
Does a splashback need waterproofing?
Splashbacks in wet areas should be properly waterproofed with a membrane, so that even if the grout lets water through, the wall behind won't rot.
Is grout hard to keep clean on a splashback?
Standard cement grout can get dirty or mouldy over time. Choosing the right grout and sealing it makes a big difference, and we'll recommend what suits your kitchen.
