Shopping with Custom Splashbacks
Choosing between acrylic, glass and metal
The site positions acrylic as lighter and easier to install than glass, while still offering a glossy finish. Metal splashbacks suit a sleek, contemporary look and come in finishes such as brushed and gloss. If you are weighing materials, consider how much weight the wall can carry, whether you want a high-gloss or softer matt finish, and how much you value impact resistance in a busy kitchen.
Ordering samples before committing
Colours can appear different on screen from how they look in your room, so ordering samples is sensible. The help guides note that sample costs are refunded when you purchase a splashback, which makes testing a colour against your worktops and lighting a low-risk step.
Measuring and custom work
Measure carefully before ordering, and check round corners and fixtures such as sockets and extractor hoods. The site states that pieces can be cut around these fixtures and that custom images can be uploaded, but bespoke items are not returnable unless faulty, so confirm dimensions first.
Delivery, collection and what to check on arrival
Standard UK delivery is quoted in working days, and bespoke orders wait for technical drawing approval before dispatch. Collection from the Devon site is free. Inspect each piece before fitting, because the terms say damage found after installation cannot be refunded or replaced.
