Kitchen Splashback Tiling in Brisbane & the Gold Coast
A splashback is the most visible tiling in most homes. We set it out so tiles are centred on the cooktop and windows, cuts are hidden where possible, and edges finish cleanly.
Splashback styles we tile
- Subway tiles, straight or herringbone
- Finger and kit-kat tiles
- Mosaics and hexagon tiles
- Large-format porcelain panels
- Natural stone and stone-look tiles
- Butler’s pantry and laundry splashbacks
What makes a splashback look right
Centred set-out on the cooktop, sink or window, so cuts are even on both sides.
Level courses that follow the benchtop, with any fall taken up at the top edge.
Neat terminations at the ends and around power points, using trims or finished edges.
A flexible seal where tiles meet the benchtop, instead of grout that cracks.
Planning your splashback
Measure the length of each wall section and the height from benchtop to the underside of the cabinets or rangehood, and note the tile size you like. Our quote preparation guide lists everything that helps us quote quickly.

Splashback tiling questions
Which tiles work best for a kitchen splashback?
Ceramic and porcelain are the most common: easy to clean and heat-resistant behind a cooktop. Subway, finger and mosaic tiles give texture; large-format panels give a seamless look with very few grout lines. Natural stone suits some kitchens but needs sealing.
Can you tile around power points and the rangehood?
Yes. Cuts around power points, switches, windows and the rangehood are planned in the set-out before fixing. Electrical work such as moving power points must be done by a licensed electrician.
Can I supply my own tiles?
Yes. Tell us the tile size and quantity when you enquire, or ask us to coordinate materials as part of the quote.
