Backsplash cost depends mainly on square footage, tile material, layout complexity, the number of outlets and corners, and any wall repair needed. Simple ceramic subway tile costs less to install than natural stone, mosaics or herringbone patterns.
What affects the price
Tile choice is the biggest material cost. Ceramic and porcelain are budget-friendly; glass, stone and handmade tile cost more and take longer to cut.
Patterns like herringbone add labor, and every outlet, window and end cap adds cuts.
Wall prep and removal
Removing an old backsplash can damage drywall that then needs repair before tiling.
We include removal, patching and prep in the estimate so there are no surprises.
Grout and finishing
Choose a grout color that hides kitchen splatter. Sealing cement grout helps it resist stains.
Finished edges with trim pieces or bullnose give a clean, professional look.
