Countertop Contractor Doncaster - Your Splashback Specialists
When we started Premium Kitchens of Doncaster fifteen years ago, kitchen splashback installation was often an afterthought. Homeowners would slap up a few basic tiles and call it done. Today, we see splashbacks as the finishing touch that can make or break your kitchen design.
Our team has fitted over 2,000 kitchen splashbacks across Doncaster, Rotherham, and surrounding areas. From a challenging curved glass installation in a Victorian terrace in Bentley to matching granite splashbacks with existing worktops in Edenthorpe, we've handled just about every scenario you can imagine.
The thing about splashback installation is this - it looks straightforward until you hit your first obstacle. Maybe it's cutting perfect circles around awkward socket placements, or dealing with walls that aren't quite straight (and trust me, most aren't). That's where our experience pays off.
Kitchen Splashback Solutions for Every Home
We've learned that no two kitchens are exactly alike. The splashback that looks stunning in your neighbour's modern extension in Warmsworth might not work in your period cottage in Arksey. Here's what we offer:
Glass Splashback Installation
Glass splashbacks have become incredibly popular, and for good reason. We typically install 6mm toughened safety glass that can handle temperatures up to 200°C. The beauty of glass is its versatility - we can match any paint colour or even print custom designs.
Last month, we fitted a printed glass splashback featuring a customer's garden photo in Mexborough. The result was breathtaking - like having a window view even on the darkest winter mornings.
Tiled Splashback Fitting
Tiles remain the most practical choice for many homeowners. Whether it's classic subway tiles in a period property in Conisbrough or bold geometric patterns in a contemporary home in Sprotbrough, we've got the expertise.
Our tilers use laser levels and precision cutting tools to ensure every tile aligns perfectly. We've noticed that many DIY attempts fail because people underestimate the importance of proper preparation and measuring.
Stone Splashback Matching
When you've invested in beautiful granite or quartz worktops, a matching splashback creates a seamless, luxurious look. We work with the same stone suppliers for your worktops, so colour matching is never an issue.
One project that stands out was a kitchen in Tickhill where we installed Caesarstone splashbacks that perfectly complemented the waterfall island. The homeowner said it transformed their kitchen from nice to spectacular.
Kitchen Backsplash Installation - The Technical Side
People often ask about the difference between splashbacks and backsplashes. Honestly, they're the same thing - "backsplash" is just the American term that's crept into our vocabulary through design shows and Pinterest.
Our installation process has been refined over thousands of jobs:
Day 1 - Templating and Preparation We measure everything twice, cut once. Our templating process involves creating precise patterns, especially around electrical outlets and switches. We've learned that spending extra time here prevents headaches later.
Day 2 - Installation Most splashback installations take 4-6 hours. Glass splashbacks are typically faster than tiles, but both require careful attention to detail. We protect your existing worktops and flooring throughout the process.
Final Checks Before we leave, we test all electrical connections we've worked around and ensure everything is properly sealed. Water damage from poor sealing is one of the most common issues we're called to fix from other installers.
Splashback Tiles - Choosing the Right Material
The material you choose affects both appearance and maintenance. Here's what we've learned from years of installations:
Ceramic and Porcelain Tiles
These remain our most popular choice. They're affordable, durable, and available in countless styles. We typically recommend porcelain for areas behind hobs due to better heat resistance.
Natural Stone
Marble and travertine look beautiful but require more maintenance. We always seal natural stone splashbacks and provide detailed care instructions.
Metal Splashbacks
Stainless steel suits industrial-style kitchens, while copper adds warmth to traditional designs. We've installed several copper splashbacks in converted farm kitchens around Bawtry - they develop a lovely patina over time.
Glass Splashback Benefits You Should Know
Glass splashbacks have advantages beyond just looks:
Heat Resistance: Our 6mm toughened glass handles heat from gas hobs without problems. We've never had a heat-related failure in fifteen years.
Easy Cleaning: No grout lines means no scrubbing. A quick wipe with glass cleaner keeps them sparkling.
Hygiene: Glass doesn't harbour bacteria like some tile grouts can. This matters more than people realise in food preparation areas.
Light Reflection: Glass splashbacks bounce light around your kitchen, making spaces feel larger and brighter.
How Much Does Splashback Installation Cost?
This is always the first question we get asked. Our typical prices for Doncaster installations:
- Tiled splashbacks: £35-45 per square metre (including materials and labour)
- Glass splashbacks: £150-200 per square metre
- Stone splashbacks: £80-120 per square metre
These prices include templating, installation, and cleanup. We don't charge extra for awkward cuts around sockets - that's just part of doing the job properly.
The total cost depends on your kitchen size and material choice. Most customers spend £400-800 on splashback installation, though we've done elaborate projects costing £2,000+.
Kitchen Splashback Fitting - Common Questions
Can you install splashbacks without removing worktops?
Yes, absolutely. We template around existing worktops and cut materials to fit precisely. The key is accurate measuring and having the right tools for cutting around obstacles.
How high should kitchen splashbacks be?
Standard height is 600mm, but we often go higher for visual impact. In one recent project in Adwick le Street, we extended the splashback to ceiling height behind the range cooker - it looked fantastic.
What about cutting around electrical outlets?
This is where experience matters. We use specialist hole-cutting tools and work closely with electricians when needed. Socket positioning should be planned during the design phase to avoid awkward placements.
Do you supply and fit, or fit only?
We offer both options. Many customers prefer our supply-and-fit service because we guarantee compatibility and quality. However, if you've already purchased materials, we're happy to fit them.
Can splashbacks be fitted around existing tiles?
Sometimes, but it depends on the condition and type of existing tiles. We always assess each situation individually and provide honest advice about the best approach.
Why Choose Premium Kitchens for Your Splashback Installation?
After fifteen years in business, we've built relationships with homeowners across South Yorkshire. Our repeat customer rate is over 40% - people come back when they move house or renovate other areas.
Local Knowledge: We know the typical issues in different areas. Victorian terraces in central Doncaster often have uneven walls, while newer builds in Rossington usually have better prepared surfaces.
Quality Materials: We work with trusted suppliers like Crown Glass and Topps Tiles. Our relationships mean better prices and priority service for our customers.
Problem Solving: Every job has unique challenges. Recently, we fitted a splashback in an 18th-century cottage in Fishlake where no wall was perfectly straight. It required custom templating and careful planning, but the result was flawless.
Aftercare Service: We provide care instructions and remain available for any questions. If issues arise (which is rare), we sort them out quickly.

A recent project in Sandal involved matching splashbacks to existing Silestone worktops. The customer had struggled to find an installer willing to guarantee exact colour matching - we achieved it perfectly.
