Tile Installation
Kitchen Backsplash Tiling in Dubai
A new splashback is one of the quickest ways to change a kitchen. It is also full of awkward cuts: sockets, window sills, hood edges and worktop ends. We tile splashbacks in subway, zellige, mosaic and large format tiles, with neat cuts and a clean silicone line at the worktop.

Small Area, Lots of Detail
Splashbacks are mostly cuts. Socket faceplates are loosened so tiles sit behind them, and tiles are cut to frame windows and hoods cleanly.
Behind a hob, heat and grease need easy-clean tiles and grout. Epoxy grout resists stains best.
For worktops, see countertop tiling. For mosaics, see mosaic tile installation, and for repairs, cracked tile replacement.
01 / Styles
Popular Splashback Styles
Zellige
Handmade Moroccan tiles with glossy, uneven faces. They give a warm, crafted look. Joints are kept tight.
Mosaic
Glass, marble or ceramic sheets. They wrap around corners easily. They suit feature panels behind hobs.
Large Format
Few joints for a sleek, modern look. They are easy to wipe. They need a very flat wall.

Kitchen Backsplash Tiling: FAQs
What Is the Cost of Laying Floor Tiles per Square Metre in Dubai?
Labour for floor tiling starts from AED 45 per square metre and wall tiling from AED 55 per square metre for standard porcelain and ceramic. Large format, mosaic and natural stone cost more because they take longer to set. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Can You Tile Over Existing Tiles?
Often, yes, if the old tiles are flat, firmly bonded and not hollow. We test them, prime with a bonding primer and use a suitable adhesive. Door heights and floor levels are checked first.
Should I Hire a Professional or Tile It Myself?
Small splashbacks can be a DIY project. Floors, wet areas and large format tiles need flat preparation, waterproofing and precise setting, and mistakes are costly to undo.
How Long Does Tile Installation Take?
A bathroom usually takes three to five days including waterproofing and curing. A kitchen splashback is often done in a day. Floors depend on the area and tile size.
