Splashbacks
Melbourne
Custom painted glass splashbacks measured, colour matched and installed across Melbourne for kitchens, laundries and bathroom spaces.
A Cleaner Alternative to Tiled Splashbacks
Painted glass splashbacks give your kitchen, laundry or bathroom a smooth, easy to clean finish without grout lines. As part of our glass splashbacks range, they work well in modern renovations, new builds and kitchen updates where you want a clean finish without making the space feel too busy.
Easy to clean
No grout lines, no tile joins and fewer places for grease and marks to build up. A quick wipe is usually enough to keep the glass looking clean.
Custom colour matched
Choose a colour to suit your cabinetry, benchtop, wall paint or tapware. Neutral whites, soft greys and deeper feature colours can all work well.
Glass that fits the wall
Each splashback is measured to suit the actual kitchen layout, including power points, rangehood areas, windows, joins and return sections.
Lighter visual finish
The smooth glass surface helps the kitchen feel lighter, cleaner and more refined without adding the visual clutter of small tiles or heavy patterns.

Painted Glass Splashbacks Compared With Tiles
Tiles still suit some kitchens, but painted glass is often chosen when the goal is a cleaner, smoother finish with less grout maintenance.
- Smooth surface with no grout lines to clean.
- Custom measured around power points, rangehoods and windows.
- Colour matched to suit cabinetry, benchtops or wall paint.
- Helps the kitchen feel lighter without adding visual clutter.
- Easy to wipe down after cooking.
- More joins, grout lines and edges to maintain over time.
- Can look busy in smaller kitchens or tighter laundry spaces.
- Grout can discolour, stain or require extra cleaning.
- Tile size, grout colour and pattern all affect the finished look.
- Still a good option where texture or a handmade look is wanted.
Standard Clear Glass
Standard clear glass has a natural green tint that is most noticeable through the glass edge. It can work well with darker painted splashback colours where the green tone is less visible.
Low Iron Starphire Glass
Starphire glass contains less iron, which reduces the green tint and gives the painted colour a cleaner, brighter appearance. It is usually the better choice for whites, soft neutrals and lighter tones.
Kitchen Splashback Transformation
This kitchen was finished with a full width soft blue painted glass splashback in Dulux Black Drop, matched to the cabinetry colour to tie the wall in with the rest of the kitchen while adding soft contrast against the white joinery and benchtop.
From Measure to Installation
Every painted glass splashback is custom made to suit the exact kitchen layout. Measurements, cut outs and installation details are all handled locally across Melbourne.
Quote and Planning
Send through plans, measurements or photos of the space and we can help work out the best layout, glass type and colour direction for the project.
Final Measure
Once cabinetry, benchtops and appliances are installed, final measurements are taken to ensure accurate sizing around power points, windows and rangehood areas.
Glass Manufacturing
The glass is toughened, painted and prepared to suit the final specifications. Cut outs and polishing are completed before installation.
Installation
The finished glass is installed on site, silicone lines are colour matched to the surrounding finishes, and power point covers are fitted neatly over the cut outs.

Asked
Questions
Common questions about painted glass splashbacks, colour matching, heat resistance, cooktop use, Starphire glass, installation and quoting.
Can painted glass splashbacks be colour matched?
Yes. Painted glass splashbacks can often be matched to cabinetry, benchtops, wall colours or a supplied colour reference. Neutral whites, warm greys and soft earthy tones are especially popular in Melbourne kitchen renovations.
For the most accurate result, it helps to provide a paint code, sample, laminate reference or cabinet colour. The final appearance can still vary slightly depending on lighting, glass type and surrounding finishes.
Are painted glass splashbacks heat resistant?
Yes. Our painted splashbacks are manufactured using toughened safety glass designed for kitchens, laundries and other interior applications.
Care still needs to be taken with large burners positioned close to the wall, especially with some insert cooktops. Excessive direct heat can mark the painted backing, so correct clearances and cooktop manufacturer requirements should always be followed.
Are painted glass splashbacks easy to clean?
Yes. Because there are no grout lines or textured surfaces, painted glass is very easy to wipe down and keep clean. A soft microfibre cloth and standard glass cleaner is usually enough for everyday marks, cooking splatter and fingerprints.
Lighter colours can be more forgiving for small water marks and smudges, while darker colours may show fingerprints more easily under strong light.
Can painted glass splashbacks go behind cooktops?
Yes. Painted glass splashbacks can be installed behind most cooktops when the correct toughened glass and clearances are used.
We use 6mm toughened glass for kitchen splashback applications. Cooktop position, burner size, rangehood height, wall condition and power point locations are all checked before manufacture so the finished glass is made to suit the space properly.
What is Starphire glass?
Starphire is a low iron glass with less green tint than standard clear glass. It is often chosen where a cleaner, brighter or more accurate colour result is preferred.
It is especially useful for white, light grey, beige and soft neutral splashbacks, where the green tone in standard clear glass can slightly affect the finished colour.
Can painted glass splashbacks include power point cut-outs?
Yes. Power point cut-outs, switch cut-outs and other required openings can be included when the glass is measured and manufactured.
Because toughened glass cannot be cut after manufacturing, all cut-outs need to be confirmed before the glass is ordered. Photos, plans and power point locations are helpful when preparing an initial quote.
When should a painted glass splashback be measured?
Final measurements are usually taken after cabinetry, benchtops, cooktops and rangehoods are installed. This allows the splashback to be measured to the actual finished space rather than relying on rough dimensions.
During the measure, we check wall alignment, panel sizes, exposed edges, power point cut-outs, cooktop clearances and any other details needed before manufacturing the glass.
Do you install splashbacks across Melbourne?
Yes. We install custom glass splashbacks throughout Melbourne, particularly across the western, northern and north-western suburbs.
If access is tight, the splashback is upstairs, or parking is limited, let us know early so we can allow for the right handling and installation process.
Do you offer free on-site measures and quotes?
We usually provide initial pricing from photos, sketches, plans and project details rather than free on-site quoting. This helps us turn around useful pricing faster and focus site visits on 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.
Not sure which painted splashback colour will suit your space?
Send through your kitchen photos, plans or rough measurements and we can help work out whether standard painted glass, Starphire glass or another splashback finish is the better fit.
