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.

  1. 01

    The adhesive

    Prepared and applied properly, so every tile stays put.

  2. 02

    The grout

    Usually cement-based, which can stain and hold mould. The right grout, sealed, is easier to keep clean.

  3. 03

    Waterproofing

    In wet areas, a membrane behind the tiles, so even if the grout lets water through, the wall won't rot.

Splashback Questions

The questions we're asked most about kitchen splashbacks.

Ask us a question
Can I choose my own tiles for the splashback?

Yes. Choose your own and we'll install them, or we can supply them and include them in the quote.

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.
