Cheap Kitchen splashbacks?
Discussion
I used these people, not too cheap but a great feature. My mirror was custom made 10 foot wide by five foot. Mirror splash back in smoked bronze. Loads of options.

Other option is stainless steel splashbacks, available all over eg Amazon cheaply - just focus on the hob area
I've just done my kitchen on the cheap and I bought one of these, it was the 1st thing that came to mind. I put it up before tiling a few weeks later. Those 2 weeks I hated it, always dirty or had marks (yes I cleaned it regularly!), so I ripped it off and tiled the lot. So much better in my opinion, tiles are more forgiving. I did contemplate the worktop style splashbacks, but cost was over 4x the tiles.
We ordered a splashback with a photo we'd taken on it from the site linked below (no affiliation!) a couple of years ago which cost less than £140 delivered and it's one of my favourite things about our kitchen (excuse the state of the kitchen, it was the first pic I found with it in!).

I like some of those - better not let my wife see ithttps://www.premierrange.co.uk/
Although I suspect it might be called Council by some
I used some of the brick effect tiles/sheets from Amazon. Bit fiddly to put up, corners of the tiles are hard to keep stuck down etc but looks alright if you don't get to close. Think if I tried to replace a single one it would be noticeable but their cheap enough to do the whole lot should it ever come to that.
Was lucky to get a reasonable colour match with the brick pillars

We went to an industrial acrylic and plastic supplier. Measured up and gave them drawings with all the plug and switch cut outs etc. They also did the oven splash back (in the proper heat resistant material) and gave us all the adhesive etc. Worked out very cheap.
Yep, my kitchen builder did something similar and went to the local glass supplier, and ordered toughen/heat resistant glass splashback and trims for me. Can't remember the exact price as it was many years ago, but it way cheaper than buying standard stuffs from the shops. SunsetZed said:

I approve of the cheese, but the Malibu and Camp Coffee seem a little 'suspect'. :-)https://www.premierrange.co.uk/

Pretty brave to show a kitchen picture, ours always looks cluttered, with occasional bike parts etc
A mate had some images printed onto tiles and fired. I don't think it was expensive but it looked fine, and was easier than matching tiles when re-jigging the kitchen for a 'mid life update'.
A lot of PH kitchens seem to be far too poncy to need a 'splashback',, you would want to be dismantling dead wildlife around a load of Wren's MDF that someone's blown a years wages on. Where I grew up kitchens were more down to earth, sometimes literally.

No bike parts here but there is often clutter. I'm big enough and ugly enough to take the flak!
Our house had acrylic splashbacks when we moved it, but they looked and felt cheap TBH. I suspect they were very cheap - previous owners skimped on most things. I ended up ripping them out and tiling - well worth the couple hundred quid and a weekend on the trowel.
That said, some of the options linked here are clearly much nicer - I suspect previous owners got the cheapest they could.
