What a splashback costs in Adelaide
Adelaide has the most affordable trade labour on the mainland, and since fitting a splashback is a labour component, that flows into the quote, so a standard tiled or glass splashback is usually cheaper here than in the dearer capitals, with a steady supply of tilers and glaziers to compare. The dry climate is also kind to a splashback, with less of the humidity-driven mould concern that pushes the spec harder in the north.
The material chosen is the main variable, from a tiled splashback to coloured toughened glass or a stone slab matched to the benchtop. The common stone-cottage and double-brick homes can have solid, uneven walls behind the bench, so tiling and glass fitting take a little more preparation on a character kitchen, but for a conventional Adelaide home a splashback is good value and the spread is driven mainly by the material rather than the labour.
