Kitchen Renovations in Melbourne
Splashback and floor tiling planned around the wider renovation, so the tiled areas are ready when the next stage of the kitchen is due to begin.
What we handle in a kitchen renovation
Kitchen renovations usually bring in floor tiling and splashback tiling as the tiling side of a wider project. Ceramic and mosaic tiles are a common choice for splashbacks — they're straightforward to keep clean and sit well behind a stove or sink — while porcelain or natural stone tiles are the more usual pick for kitchen floors.
Worth noting: cabinetry, plumbing, electrical work and appliance installation are specialist trades outside our tiling and surface-preparation work. What's included in the wider renovation depends on the agreed scope of the job.
Splashback and floor tiling
Splashback tiling is one of the more visible parts of a kitchen renovation, so the set-out around powerpoints, the stove and the sink gets worked out before installation starts. Tile cuts and grout lines are considered as part of the layout rather than left to the end. Floor tiling across a kitchen needs a properly prepared and suitable substrate, particularly where it ties in with an adjoining living or dining area at the same floor height.
Preparing surfaces for kitchen tiling
The surface underneath the tiles matters just as much as the tiles themselves. Before installation, we check that the substrate is suitable, deal with preparation requirements and make sure the finished tile surface will work with surrounding floors, walls and cabinetry.
Fitting in with the rest of the renovation
Where a kitchen renovation involves several trades, the tiling and surface-preparation stages are planned around the wider renovation so the tiled areas are ready at the right point — not too early, and not holding up cabinetry or benchtop installation.

Kitchen renovation questions
It depends on the scope of the tiling and surface work involved — a splashback is a different job to full floor tiling across a kitchen. We put together a price once we know what's needed, as part of the quote.
We handle the tiling and surface preparation side — cabinetry, plumbing, electrical work and appliance installation are specialist trades outside that, and whether they're included depends on what's agreed for the job.
Yes. Splashback tiling can be completed as a standalone job, whether you're replacing an existing splashback or finishing a newly installed kitchen. The condition of the existing surface and the scope of the work will determine what's required for preparation.
Ceramic, porcelain, mosaic and natural stone tiles are all common options for kitchen splashbacks. The right choice depends on the look you're after, the layout and how the finished surface will be maintained.
