Backsplash & Tile Installation in Vaughan
Serving Woodbridge, Kleinburg, Maple, Thornhill, and the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre.
We supply and install porcelain, marble-look, and mosaic backsplash tile for kitchens and bathrooms across Vaughan. One team handles material selection, delivery and installation, so there is no gap between the supplier and the installer to fall through. Quartz countertops are the most common pairing — most customers do the backsplash at the same time as a new counter.
What the job involves
- Measurement and tile selection. Wall area measured, tile quantity calculated with a waste allowance, tile chosen from in-stock porcelain, mosaic, or slab.
- Old backsplash removal, where there is one.
- Surface prep. Wall cleaned and patched; backer board installed where required.
- Layout and dry-fit. Tile laid out dry so cuts around outlets, windows and corners are planned before anything is set.
- Setting. Tile set with adhesive suited to the material and the substrate.
- Grouting and caulking. Grout applied and sealed; caulk at the countertop line and inside corners.
- Final cleanup.
A standard kitchen backsplash — 25 to 35 sq ft in a simple pattern — is a one-day job once materials are on site. Herringbone, mosaic and other complex patterns take two.
Tile prices
We supply the tile ourselves, so a quote separates cleanly into material and labour. These are our current prices per square foot:
| Tile type | Price per sq ft | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Porcelain | $4.99 – $9.99 | The usual choice for backsplashes and floors — hard-wearing and easy to clean |
| Mosaic | $15.98 – $16.99 | Feature strips and full backsplashes where you want pattern and texture |
| Large-format slab | $49.99 | Full-height backsplashes with minimal grout lines |
What a backsplash costs installed
| Scope | Typical installed cost |
|---|---|
| Small backsplash (10–20 sq ft) | $500 – $1,200 |
| Standard kitchen backsplash (25–35 sq ft) | $900 – $1,800 |
| Full-height or statement backsplash (40+ sq ft) | $1,800 – $3,500+ |
Roughly $25–$50 per square foot installed, tile and labour together. Natural stone, glass and mosaic patterns sit at the higher end.
What moves the price:
- Tile material. Porcelain and ceramic are the most economical; natural stone and glass cost more.
- Pattern complexity. Herringbone, diagonal and mosaic sheets take longer to set than straight-set or subway.
- Removing an old backsplash, if there is one.
- Number of cutouts — outlets, switches, windows, range hood.
- Wall condition. Damage found during prep may need patching first.
Backsplash questions we get asked
How much does a kitchen backsplash cost in Vaughan?
Most standard kitchen backsplashes land between $900 and $1,800 installed, covering 25 to 35 square feet. Tile choice and pattern move that more than anything else — porcelain from $4.99/sq ft keeps a project at the lower end, mosaic at around $16/sq ft pushes it up.
How long does backsplash installation take?
One day for a standard kitchen in a simple pattern, once the tile is on site. Two days for herringbone, mosaic, or full-height work. Grout needs to cure before the surface is used normally.
Do you remove the old backsplash?
Yes. Removal and any wall patching it exposes are quoted as part of the job rather than added afterwards.
Can you do the backsplash and countertop together?
That is the most common way we do it. Countertops are templated after cabinets go in, and the backsplash follows the counter — doing both together means one team, one schedule, and a tile choice made against the actual counter rather than a sample.
Do you serve all of Vaughan?
Yes — Woodbridge, Kleinburg, Maple, Thornhill and the Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, from our Mississauga warehouse. Delivery is free within 100 km.
