What a splashback costs in Newcastle
Trade rates in Newcastle run below Sydney's while drawing on the same Hunter and Sydney-basin trade pool, so a splashback is better value here than in the capital for the same material, with the fitting coming in cheaper. The region has a solid supply of tilers and glaziers feeding off the Sydney basin, so there is reasonable choice across tile, glass and stone without the capital's premium labour.
The stock is a mix of older workers' cottages and post-war brick, where kitchen walls behind the bench can be uneven, so tiling to that surface or measuring a glass sheet against an out-of-true wall takes a little more preparation on an older home. The humid coastal climate makes a wipe-clean glass splashback or a well-sealed tiled one a sensible choice near the water, so the spec is worth getting right, but overall a splashback here is good value against the capital.
