Does any splashback go with any worktop?
Corian and stone splashbacks generally look best with worktops of the same material. Wood, glass and stainless steel work well with any worktop.

Are they made to measure?
Wood, Corian, stone and glass splashbacks are usually custom-made for your kitchen and will include cut-outs for your plug sockets; stainless steel and some glass panels come in pre-cut panels.

Who fits them?
If you've chosen stone, wood or Corian, all of which need a strong adhesive, you should use a professional. Some pre-cut stainless-steel panels can be screwed to the wall and some glass panels are self-adhesive - jobs that can be done with anyone with a little DIY knowledge.
