Kitchen Tiling & Splashbacks That Handle Daily Life
Splashbacks, feature walls and floors built to handle heat, splashes and knocks, without losing the finish you paid for.
Built for daily use, not just day one
A kitchen splashback or feature wall takes more daily wear than almost any other tiled surface in the house: heat from the hob, oil, water, the odd knock from a pan. It needs to be fitted properly the first time, in a material actually suited to a kitchen, not whatever looked good in a showroom.
What's included
- Splashbacks behind hobs and sinks, cut precisely around sockets and extractor housings
- Full feature walls, including large-format porcelain slabs for a near-seamless look
- Kitchen floor tiling, including heat- and heavy-traffic-rated materials
- Herringbone, brick-bond and large-format layouts, laid dead straight
- Coordination with your kitchen fitter so tiling lands at the right point in the install
Timescales
A kitchen tiling job typically runs 1–5 days once materials are on site: a splashback alone at the shorter end, a full floor or feature wall at the longer end, depending on layout complexity.

Pricing
What actually moves the number
A single splashback behind a hob and a full kitchen floor with a large-format feature wall are both kitchen tiling jobs, but the price gap between them is real.
- Whether it's a splashback, a full feature wall, a floor, or all three together
- Material choice: porcelain and ceramic sit at a different price point to natural stone or large-format slabs
- How many cut-outs are needed around sockets, extractor housings and appliances
- Whether the subfloor needs levelling before a large-format floor can go down
- Coordination needed with your kitchen fitter, if tiling has to slot into a wider install
We walk through all of this on the site visit itself, so the figure you're quoted is the figure you pay.

“They were great from the get go… they were really amazing at cleaning up after themselves and tidying as they go.”
“Great communication from Rik, and Brendan did an excellent job installing the tiles with minimal home interruption.”
Materials
The three materials behind almost everything we fit.
A kitchen puts a tile through more daily punishment than almost anywhere else in the house: heat, grease, water, and the odd dropped pan. Material choice matters more here than in most rooms.
Large-Format Porcelain
Durable, genuinely waterproof, no sealing required, and fewer grout lines at large format (up to 1200×600mm) for a near-seamless wall or floor. The default recommendation for most rooms.
Natural Stone & Marble
Marble, travertine, limestone and granite: every slab genuinely unique. Needs sealing roughly once a year and is softer than porcelain, so it's worth it where the look matters most: a feature wall or a statement floor. Can etch or scratch if acidic cleaning products are used on it.
Ceramic & Mosaic
The practical choice for a smaller area, a niche, or detailed pattern work: easier to cut into shape than porcelain or stone, at a lower material cost. Best suited to walls rather than a heavy-traffic floor.
Method
The same sequence, every project, regardless of scale.
No surprises part-way through. You know what happens next before we start.
Free site visit & quote
We look at the room in person rather than guessing from a phone call, and give you a real price within 24 hours, not a vague estimate.
Specification
We confirm the exact material, layout and any waterproofing or underfloor heating requirements before a single tile is ordered, so there's no mid-job surprise.
Preparation
Old tile removal if needed, levelling an uneven subfloor, and full waterproofing (tanking) in any wet area: the unglamorous work that decides whether the finish lasts.
Tiling, grouting & handover
Precision setting-out, cutting and laying, then grouting and sealing, finished with a walkthrough so you can check everything before we call the job done.

Frequently asked
Questions worth answering upfront.
Porcelain and glazed ceramic are the most practical: both resist heat and stains and clean easily. Natural stone looks stunning but needs more regular sealing directly behind a hob.
Yes. Precise cuts around extractor housings, sockets and switches are standard on every splashback we fit, not an extra.
Yes, this is common on kitchen jobs. We'll agree timing directly with your fitter so tiling happens at the right stage: usually after units are in but before worktops, or after worktops for a splashback.
Usually 1–2 days once the tiles and materials are on site, depending on the layout and any cut-outs needed.
Yes. The same as a bathroom, we fit correctly around underfloor heating mats. Just let us know it's there when you enquire so we can factor it into the quote and timeline.
Yes. Island surrounds and waterfall edges are a standard part of kitchen tiling, usually specified alongside the main floor or splashback so the material and grout colour match throughout.
Darker or mid-tone grout tends to hide daily kitchen wear better than bright white, though it comes down to the look you're after. We'll talk through it against your actual tile choice on the site visit.
