Splashbacks
Melbourne
Custom glass splashbacks for kitchens, laundries and bathrooms. Choose from painted glass, mirror glass or printed glass, measured to suit your cabinetry, benchtops, power points and finished layout.
Famous Frameless also installs frameless shower screens, mirrors and custom bathroom glass, so you deal with one glass team from measure through to installation.
Frameless Shower Screens
Measured And Installed
If your renovation also includes a bathroom, we can measure and install the shower screen as well. Famous Frameless supplies custom frameless shower screens for walk in showers, hinged doors, sliders, corner layouts and low iron glass bathrooms across Melbourne.
You deal with the same glass team from measure through to installation, with the screen made to suit the finished opening, tile lines, floor fall and hardware finish.
Painted Glass Splashbacks
A smooth glass surface with no grout lines to scrub or re-seal. Painted glass works well when you want a clean colour finish behind a kitchen, laundry or bathroom bench.

A Cleaner Alternative to Tiled Splashbacks
Glass splashbacks give you one smooth, easy to wipe surface behind cooktops, sinks and laundry benches. With no tiled grout through the main splashback area, there are fewer lines to scrub, stain or re-seal over time.
No grout lines to scrub
A single glass surface is easier to clean after cooking, washing up or everyday use. It helps avoid the staining and build-up that can happen in tiled grout lines.
Colour matched to the room
Painted glass can be matched to many popular colours, so the splashback can work with your cabinetry, benchtops, tapware and wall finishes instead of fighting them.
Made to the finished wall
Each panel is measured for the actual space, including power points, cabinetry, benchtops and appliances. That helps keep the joins, cut-outs and silicone lines looking neat.
Glass Splashbacks for Wet Areas and Everyday Use
Glass splashbacks are not just for kitchens. They can be used anywhere you want a smooth, easy to wipe wall surface around water, cooking, cleaning products or daily mess.
Kitchens
Installed behind cooktops, sinks and benchtops where food splashes, steam and everyday cleaning are part of the space. The glass gives the kitchen a clean finish without tiled grout lines through the splashback area.
Laundries
A practical choice above laundry benches, sinks and washing machine areas. Glass helps protect the wall from water marks, detergent splashes and cleaning products while keeping the room easy to maintain.
Bathrooms
Used behind vanities, bath areas and feature walls where a smooth glass surface suits the bathroom layout. It pairs well with mirrors, tapware and frameless shower screens for a cleaner overall finish.
Measured for the Finished Space
A good glass splashback is not just a coloured panel on the wall. The finished result depends on how the glass is measured, where the joins fall, how the cut-outs sit around power points and how the silicone works with the surrounding finishes.
Minimal joins
We plan the glass layout to reduce unnecessary joins where possible. Fewer joins gives the wall a cleaner look and makes the splashback easier to wipe down.
Neat cut-outs
Power points, rangehoods, cabinetry, window trims and appliances are measured on site so the glass is made to suit the actual finished kitchen or laundry.
Mitred corners
Where external corners are part of the layout, mitred glass can give the splashback a cleaner corner detail instead of a basic butt join.
Colour matched silicone
Silicone colour is selected to work with the glass, stone, cabinetry or surrounding wall finish. It is a small detail, but it can change how clean the finished splashback looks.
Measured After Cabinetry and Benchtops
Splashbacks are measured once the cabinetry, benchtops and appliances are in place. That lets us take final site measurements from the actual finished space, including power points, rangehoods, window trims and any small details that affect the glass.
Quote and planning
We start with the layout, glass type, colour, finish and any special details. Photos, plans or rough measurements help us guide you before the final site measure.
Final site measure
Once the kitchen, laundry or bathroom is ready, we measure the finished wall so the glass is manufactured to the completed space rather than guessed from earlier plans.
Manufacture and installation
The glass is made to size, toughened where required, then installed with neat cut-outs, planned joins and silicone selected to suit the surrounding finishes.
Direct Advice.
Clean Installation.
From the first quote through to final installation, you deal directly with the people measuring and installing the glass.
We measure, supply and install custom glass splashbacks for kitchens, laundries and bathrooms across Melbourne. The focus is simple: practical advice before you order, accurate measuring once the space is ready, and clean installation details on the day.
Because we also work on frameless shower screens, mirrors and bathroom glass, many clients use us for more than one part of the renovation. That keeps the glass side of the project easier to organise and more consistent from room to room.

FAQs
Common questions about custom glass splashbacks, cooktop use, pricing, colour matching, fixing method, measuring and installation.
Can glass splashbacks go behind gas cooktops?
Yes, glass splashbacks can be installed behind gas cooktops when the correct toughened safety glass is used and the cooktop, burner distance and surrounding materials are suitable.
We check the cooktop position, burner clearances, wall area and nearby finishes before confirming the splashback. This makes sure the glass is suitable for the space and installed to the required standard.
Are glass splashbacks easy to clean?
Yes. One of the main reasons people choose glass splashbacks is that the surface is smooth, non porous and easy to wipe down.
Unlike tiles, there are no grout lines to trap grease, moisture or staining. A soft cloth and standard glass cleaner are enough for everyday maintenance around cooktops, sinks and food preparation areas.
How much does a glass splashback cost?
Glass splashback pricing depends on the glass type, colour or finish, overall size and the number of cut-outs required.
As a guide, standard painted glass splashbacks start from around $400 per square metre before cut-outs. Metallic finishes, specialty colours, mirror glass and printed glass are priced higher depending on the product selected.
Power point cut-outs, switch cut-outs, rangehood notches and other openings are priced separately. Smaller splashbacks can also have a higher per-square-metre cost, as minimum charges still apply for measuring, manufacturing and installation.
A few things that affect the final price include:
- Glass type, such as painted glass, mirror glass or printed glass
- Colour or finish, including standard colours, metallic finishes and specialty options
- Size of the area, especially where minimum charges apply
- Cut-outs for power points, switches, rangehoods and other notches
- Number of pieces, joins or separate sections required
For an accurate price, send through photos of the area, approximate measurements and the number of power point cut-outs. We can then quote based on the actual layout.
Can splashbacks be colour matched?
Yes. Painted glass splashbacks can be made in a wide range of colours and can often be matched closely to cabinetry, benchtops, wall colours or other finishes in the room.
Neutral whites, warm greys and soft earthy tones are popular in Melbourne kitchen renovations, while stronger colours can also work well when the splashback is being used as a feature.
How is a glass splashback fixed to the wall?
Glass splashbacks are fixed to the wall using neutral cure silicone. This gives a strong, flexible bond without needing visible screws through the face of the glass.
If the wall is slightly uneven, more silicone may be used where needed to help build the glass out and achieve a neater face line. Once the splashback is in position, the perimeter is also caulked with neutral cure silicone so the edges stay sealed while still allowing a small amount of movement over time.
What glass is used for kitchen splashbacks?
Kitchen splashbacks are usually made from 6mm toughened safety glass. This is important behind cooktops and other areas where the glass may be exposed to heat, cleaning and everyday kitchen use.
Toughened glass is much stronger than standard glass and is made for safer use in finished interiors. We measure the finished space and manufacture the glass to suit the actual wall, cabinetry, benchtop and cut-out positions.
When should a glass splashback be measured?
Final measurements are taken after cabinetry and benchtops are installed. The rangehood also needs to be installed before the final measure when the splashback finishes around it.
Measuring at the right stage allows the splashback to be made to the finished space, including power point locations, window trims, wall alignment and final benchtop position.
Can glass splashbacks have power point cut-outs?
Yes. Glass splashbacks can be manufactured with cut-outs for power points, switches and other required openings.
These positions need to be measured accurately before manufacture, as toughened glass cannot be cut or drilled after it has been made.
Can you replace an existing tiled splashback with glass?
Yes. Tiles are removed and the wall is prepared before the new glass splashback is measured and installed.
The wall condition matters. A flatter, cleaner wall helps the glass sit neatly and gives a better finished result, especially around benchtops, cabinetry and window returns.
Can glass splashbacks be used in laundries or bathrooms?
Yes. Glass splashbacks can be used in kitchens, laundries, bathrooms and other interior areas where you want a smooth, easy to clean wall finish.
The right glass type, colour, fixing method and cut-out details depend on the room, moisture exposure, surrounding cabinetry and how the space will be used.
What is the difference between painted and printed glass splashbacks?
Painted glass splashbacks are best when you want a solid colour, colour matching or a clean modern finish. Printed glass splashbacks are used when you want an image, pattern, artwork, stone-look design or custom visual effect behind the glass.
If you are unsure which option suits your kitchen, send through your photos or design ideas and we can help point you in the right direction.
Do you install splashbacks across Melbourne?
Yes. We install custom glass splashbacks throughout Melbourne, particularly across the western, northern and north western suburbs.
If you are unsure whether we service your area, send through your suburb with a few photos or plans and we can let you know.
Do you offer free on-site measures and quotes?
We provide initial pricing from photos, sketches, plans and project details rather than free on-site quoting. This lets us turn around useful pricing faster and keep site visits for projects that are ready to measure.
To help prepare a quote, please send:
- Photos of the kitchen, laundry or bathroom
- A sketch, plan or approximate measurements
- The number of power point cut-outs required
- Any additional cut-outs or installation details you are aware of
- Your preferred splashback colour or finish, if known
- Any access limitations such as stairs, lifts or restricted parking
Once we have this information, we can usually provide a fairly accurate quote and advise on the next steps for measuring and installation.
