A dated tile splashback or a plain glass panel is one of the fastest kitchen finishes to update — no regrouting, no retiling, no tiler booked in. We wrap splashbacks in stone, marble, and textured architectural film in a single day, with proper detailing around the cooktop.

How we work
Our splashback wrapping process
- 1
Free measure & film selection
We measure the splashback area and check the existing surface — tiled grout lines need a different prep approach to flat glass or laminate.
- 2
Surface prep & degrease
Splashbacks sit directly behind the cooktop, so this is usually the greasiest surface in the kitchen — full degrease is non-negotiable here.
- 3
Precision wrap & edge sealing
Film is applied with sealed edges at the benchtop join and around power points, with heat-rated film used directly behind the cooktop zone.
- 4
QA walkthrough
We check the seal along the benchtop join specifically, since that's the point most exposed to daily spills and wiping.
Local context
Beige and terracotta tile splashbacks are still common through older Sydney apartments and 90s-built homes in the north-west corridor, and they're one of the clearest visual giveaways of an untouched kitchen. A day of wrapping over the existing tile brings the splashback in line with a refreshed benchtop or cabinet finish without the mess of a tiler on site.
Splashback Wrapping questions, answered
Can you wrap over existing tiles without regrouting?
Yes, that's the main appeal — we wrap directly over sound existing tile, bridging the grout lines for a smooth finish, without any regrouting or retiling work.Is it safe directly behind a gas or induction cooktop?
We use heat-rated film in the zone directly behind the cooktop and can add a heat shield strip if the gap to the flame or element is tight. If your splashback sits unusually close to a gas burner, we'll assess that specifically before quoting.How long does a wrapped splashback last?
A splashback wears better than a benchtop — it isn't cut on or sat on — but it does take daily grease and steam behind the cooktop. Expect a similar lifespan to cabinet doors under normal wiping and cleaning, with the cooktop zone the first place any wear would show.Can you match the splashback to a benchtop or cabinet wrap?
Yes, matching or deliberately contrasting the splashback to a benchtop or cabinet finish is one of the most common combinations we do.Do power points and switches get in the way?
No — we remove switch plates and power point covers, wrap around them cleanly, and refit them so the film reads as one continuous surface.

Benchtop Wrapping
A benchtop is the single most-used surface in any kitchen, and it's also the hardest one to wrap well. We wrap laminate and older stone-look benchtops in stone, marble, and concrete-look architectural film — but we'll assess your bench first and tell you honestly whether it's a good candidate before you spend anything.
Island Bench Wrapping
The island bench is usually the visual centrepiece of an open-plan kitchen, and it's also the surface guests lean on, kids do homework at, and everyday prep happens on — all at once. We wrap island benchtops and waterfall end panels in stone and marble-look film, with the same honest wear guidance we give on any benchtop.
Kitchen Cabinet Wrapping
A full kitchen renovation in Sydney runs $20,000-$35,000 and takes weeks with your kitchen out of action. We wrap the cabinet doors, drawer fronts, end panels, and kickboards you already have in premium architectural vinyl, and hand it back looking new in 2-3 days — 70-80% cheaper, no demolition, no fumes, and you keep cooking in your own kitchen the whole time.
Kickboard & End Panel Wrapping
Kickboards cop every mop bucket, vacuum bump, and dropped pot in the kitchen, and exposed end panels fade and scratch faster than doors that get less handling — both are usually the most visibly tired part of an otherwise fine kitchen. We wrap kickboards and end panels on their own, matched to your cabinetry or as a deliberate contrast trim.
