Choosing a kitchen and splashback tiler
A splashback is a small area that gets a lot of scrutiny, because it sits at eye level and frames the kitchen. The setting out is where the skill shows: a tiler who centres the pattern on the rangehood or window, keeps the grout lines square to the bench and finishes the edges cleanly produces a result that looks built in rather than added on. Mosaic sheets, subway tiles and large-format slabs each need a different approach.
Behind a cooktop the tiling has to cope with heat, grease and steam, so the choice of tile and grout matters. Ask about the gap behind the bench, how power points and the rangehood are cut around, and whether a sealed or epoxy grout suits a splashback that will be wiped down constantly. A flexible silicone joint, not rigid grout, belongs where the tiles meet the benchtop.
Kitchen and laundry floors are heavy-traffic areas that often need a slip-resistant tile and a surface that copes with dropped pots and spills. A tiler can advise on tile hardness ratings and slip ratings so you are not left with a floor that scratches easily or becomes dangerous when wet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Kitchen & Splashback Tiling
There is no single answer, but glazed ceramic, porcelain and glass all work well because they wipe clean and resist heat and grease. The main things are a tile you are happy to look at every day and a grout that stays clean, so ask about sealed or epoxy grout in the splashback zone. Very porous natural stone needs sealing and more care behind a cooktop.
Often yes, if the existing tiles are flat, sound and firmly stuck, though it changes the depth at power points and the benchtop junction. Many tilers prefer to remove the old splashback for the cleanest result. A quick look at the existing surface will tell the tiler which way to go.
With a flexible silicone joint rather than rigid grout, because the benchtop and wall move independently and a grouted joint would crack. A neat, colour-matched silicone line is a sign of a careful tiler. The same applies where the splashback meets the cooktop cut-out.
Glazed ceramic, porcelain and glass do not, but natural stone and some cement and terrazzo-look tiles do, and the grout often benefits from sealing too. A tiler will tell you whether your chosen tile needs a sealer and can apply one. Sealing makes a splashback far easier to keep clean.
