Aged Zinc Kitchen Splashbacks – Bespoke & Handmade in the UK

A zinc kitchen splashback adds character, durability, and timeless style to any interior. At Metal Sheets Ltd, we manufacture bespoke zinc splashbacks in natural, light patina, and aged zinc finishes — each hand-applied in our Liverpool workshop. Whether you’re designing a contemporary kitchen, a traditional alcove setting, or an industrial feature wall, our zinc splashbacks offer a seamless, easy-to-clean solution that matures beautifully over time.

Why Choose a Zinc Splashback?

Zinc is a practical and stylish alternative to tiles, glass, and stainless steel. Its naturally antimicrobial surface makes it ideal for kitchens, while its soft, evolving patina offers a characterful backdrop that complements a wide range of cabinet colours and zinc worktops.

An aged zinc splashback is:

  • joint-free across long lengths

  • easy to wipe clean

  • heat-tolerant around hobs

  • naturally hygienic

  • available in a range of hand-applied zinc patina finishes

Because every splashback is made to order, we tailor the thickness, patina tone, and edge

Custom Sizes & Joint-Free Panels

We fabricate splashbacks from premium European sheet zinc in our UK workshop in sizes up to:

3 metres × 1.25 metres

This allows most kitchens to have a single, joint-free splashback panel, avoiding tile grout lines or visible seams.

Options include:

  • cut-outs for sockets, switches, taps & extractor housings

  • full-height feature walls

  • floating shelves or brackets to match

  • splashbacks to pair with zinc worktops and coordinating wall panels

  • integrated zinc upstands and corner returns formed as part of the splashback or worktop for a seamless fin

Patina Finishes & Surface Options

We produce zinc splashbacks in a range of finishes to match your worktops or create a standalone feature:

  • Natural Zinc – soft silver-grey with subtle grain

  • Light Patina – gentle shading for a slightly aged appearance

  • Aged / Industrial Patina Zinc – deeper mottling and tonal variation

Unlike printed or artificial finishes, each patina is unique and hand-finished. You can view examples of our full range of zinc finishes to see how tone and texture vary across different applications. Over time, the surface may continue to develop gentle charac

Precision Cutting & Detailing

All cut-outs and shaped features are produced using:

  • CNC press brakes for folds and crisp edging

  • NC guillotines for clean, straight cuts

  • Fibre laser cutting (via MS Laser Services) for precise socket openings, tap holes and bespoke shapes

This ensures a perfect fit on-site, reducing installation time and risk, allowing for seamless alignment with worktops, cabinet panels, or cladding elements.

Zinc Splashbacks for Modern, Rustic & Industrial Kitchens

Zinc splashbacks blend effortlessly with:

  • contemporary slab-front cabinets

  • rustic timbers and reclaimed finishes

  • minimalist white or grey kitchens

  • industrial-style interiors with open shelving

  • matching zinc worktops, or zinc wall panels

Its warm metallic texture can be subtle or dramatic, depending on your chosen patina.

This versatility makes aged zinc splashbacks suitable for both contemporary and traditional UK kitchens.

Maintenance & Care

Zinc splashbacks are low-maintenance and straightforward to care for:

  • Clean with warm soapy water and a soft microfibre cloth

  • Avoid harsh abrasives, scouring pads, or strong chemical cleaners

  • Wax (for natural or patinated splashbacks) can moderate the development of the living finish

  • Lacquer is suitable for decorative, low-contact areas only

With proper care, your zinc splashback will develop a beautiful, understated patina that enhances the character of your kitchen.

Matching Zinc Worktops, Splashbacks & Upstands

For a cohesive design, we fabricate zinc worktops with matching zinc splashbacks and formed upstands, ensuring a consistent patina tone and clean transitions between horizontal and vertical surfaces.
