Back-painted glass splashbacks
Made-to-measure toughened glass with a smooth, grout-free surface and colour chosen to work with the units, worktops and room.
Kitchen already fitted and ready for the finishing touch? Handyy installs made-to-measure back-painted glass and tiled splashbacks behind worktops, sinks and hobs, including accurate measuring, socket planning and neat sealing around the finished kitchen.
This service is particularly useful when the kitchen, worktops and sockets are already in place and you now need the exposed wall finished properly with glass or tiles. Handyy can handle the splashback as a standalone job rather than requiring a full kitchen installation.
Both work well, but they create a very different finish. The best choice depends on the kitchen style, wall area, maintenance preference and how many sockets, corners and changes of level need working around.

Metro, ceramic, porcelain, patterned, mosaic and other suitable wall tiles for a traditional, textured or decorative kitchen finish.
A single glass or tiled feature behind the hob or sink can finish the focal area without covering the full length of the worktop wall.
Made-to-measure glass cannot be adjusted casually on site once it has been manufactured. The important part is getting the template and specification right before the order is placed.
A common specification for kitchen splashbacks, with the final glass type and use confirmed for the proposed location and appliance setup.
Low-iron glass reduces the natural green tint found in standard clear glass, which can help pale, white and colour-matched back-painted finishes read more accurately.
Glass can be back-painted in a chosen colour to complement cabinetry, painted walls, worktops or a feature colour within the kitchen.
Socket and switch positions need measuring accurately before the glass is manufactured so the required cut-outs are incorporated into the panel.
Existing worktop upstands, returns, corner walls and changes in worktop height all affect the finished glass dimensions.
Kitchen walls are not always perfectly straight or square. Measuring has to account for the real opening rather than assuming every corner is 90 degrees.
A simple rectangle is straightforward. Most real kitchens involve socket positions, upstands, extractor lines, corners, existing worktops and appliance clearances that all need to work together.
The splashback material and dimensions must be suitable for the hob and installed in line with the relevant product and appliance manufacturer's clearance requirements.
Glass needs factory-planned cut-outs. Tiled installations need neat cuts and alignment so socket plates sit cleanly against the finished surface.
The splashback can often start above an existing upstand, but the junction needs to look deliberate and be finished neatly.
A washable splashback helps protect the wall from everyday water and cleaning splashes while giving the worktop area a finished appearance.
Feature panels behind a hob normally look best when centred accurately to the hob and extractor rather than simply centred on the available wall.
Edges, worktop junctions and corners are finished carefully so the installation reads as part of the kitchen rather than an afterthought.
If you already have the tiles, Handyy can fit many straightforward kitchen and utility splashback areas without needing to take on the rest of the kitchen project.
Classic horizontal, stacked or patterned layouts around worktops, sockets and kitchen units.
Feature areas where the layout needs planning before cuts are made so the visible pattern finishes evenly.
Fewer grout lines and a cleaner look, with careful planning around socket positions, corners and the available wall dimensions.
Small-format or mosaic sections where sheet alignment, edges and grout finish matter to the final appearance.
Practical wall protection behind utility sinks, worktops and appliances where easy cleaning is more important than a full kitchen-scale installation.
Existing finishes can be assessed where you are refreshing a kitchen rather than replacing every unit and worktop.
Splashbacks are often one of the final jobs, once the worktop, sink, hob and sockets are in their permanent positions. That makes this a natural finishing service for projects where the main kitchen installation is already complete.
Add glass or tiles to a standard developer kitchen once you have moved in and chosen the colour or finish you actually want.
Finish a cabinet repaint, new worktop, appliance update or wider kitchen refresh without replacing the entire room.
A new worktop or upstand can change the dimensions of the exposed wall, making it a good time to measure for a fresh splashback.
Handyy also installs suitable glass and tiled splashbacks for commercial kitchens and workplace food-preparation areas, including cafés, pubs, bars, offices, clinics, salons and other small commercial premises. The chosen material and installation must suit the heat, cleaning, hygiene and wall conditions of the intended area.
Glass or tiled wall protection behind suitable worktops, sinks and preparation areas in commercial kitchens, subject to the required specification and site conditions.
Splashbacks for back-bar areas, kitchen worktops, sinks and suitable preparation spaces where an easy-clean finished wall is required.
Practical glass or tiled finishes around staff sinks, tea points and worktops in offices, clinics and other workplaces.
Washable wall finishes around suitable sinks, worktops and staff areas where a splashback is appropriate to the room and use.
Useful near the end of a commercial refurbishment or fit-out once units, worktops, sinks, sockets and equipment are in their final positions.
For several rooms or work areas, send a site plan, photos or a simple room list so the commercial installation can be assessed as one project.
For bespoke back-painted glass, Handyy's preferred route is measure, specification, manufacture and installation. This keeps responsibility for the final dimensions clear before the toughened panel is made.
Send the overall kitchen, intended splashback area, hob, sockets and rough dimensions so the job can be assessed.
The finished worktops, upstands, sockets, corners and appliance positions are measured before the glass is ordered.
The panel is produced to the agreed specification and then returned to site for installation and finishing.
Glass splashbacks are manufactured to precise dimensions. If worktops, upstands, sockets, units or appliances move after measuring, the manufactured panel may no longer match the opening.
Final worktop height and any upstands should be in their permanent position before measuring the glass.
Socket and switch positions should be confirmed before factory cut-outs are specified.
Feature panels can then be centred and sized to the actual installed appliance arrangement.
Send a wide photo of the kitchen, close-ups of the intended splashback area, the hob and sockets, rough width and height measurements, your postcode, and whether you prefer glass or tiles. If you already have tiles, include the tile size and quantity. For glass, the initial photos are for assessment only — a final accurate measure is required before manufacture.

Handyman in MelkshamYes. Handyy installs made-to-measure back-painted glass and straightforward tiled splashbacks for kitchens, utilities and suitable commercial spaces.
Yes. For bespoke glass, the preferred route is to measure the finished kitchen accurately, order the panel to specification and return to install it once manufactured.
Yes, for suitable kitchen or utility splashback jobs. Send the tile size, quantity and photos of the wall so the layout and likely cuts can be assessed.
Low-iron glass contains less iron than standard clear glass, reducing the usual green tint. It can be useful when a pale or colour-critical back-painted finish is wanted.
Yes, but the socket positions need measuring accurately before manufacture so the required openings can be produced in the glass before it is toughened and supplied.
Potentially, yes. The chosen splashback material, dimensions and clearances must suit the appliance and installation, so the exact hob and manufacturer's requirements need to be considered.
After. Final worktops, upstands, sockets and appliance positions should normally be fixed before the accurate glass measure because the panel is manufactured to those finished dimensions.
Yes. A splashback is a useful way to personalise a standard new-build kitchen once you have moved in and chosen your preferred colour, tile or glass finish.
Yes. Suitable glass or tiled splashbacks can also be considered for utility rooms, home bars, office kitchenettes and other appropriate worktop or sink areas.
Yes. Handyy can install suitable glass and tiled splashbacks in commercial kitchens, cafés, pubs, staff kitchens and other workplace food-preparation areas. The final specification must be appropriate for the heat, hygiene, cleaning and substrate requirements of the intended location.
