The MK Edge in Desert Bronze finish might be suitable, see http://www.mkelectric.com/en-gb/Products/WD/edge/Socketoutlets/Pages/K14781.aspx - MK do some other nice sockets if you browse their ranges. Good luck.

I’ve just installed a bronze mirror splashback. In the end we went for black nickel from screwfix. I wasn’t at all sure about them but now they are up I couldn’t be happier, they are mirror so just blend in! so much better than Matt black I was thinking originally!

Hi Diana, This depends on which tiles are chosen. The materials used and how they are made will all have an impact on this. Our Busca range is suitable for behind a cooker - https://www.houzz.co.uk/products/busca-bronze-bevel-glass-tile-prvw-vr~93829888

The tiles will be covering the areas coloured light blue on this plan (the white and dark blue will be covered with panelling). Have narrowed it down to three tiles which will fit without too much faffing/cutting: Lucy - a 15x15 tile, though not sure if I should stick with one colour or do some kind of mix with the blues and white. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/bathroom-tiles/lucy-tiles Rhian - a 10x30 tile. Again, it comes in a selection of blues and grays so I don't have to stick to the one colour. https://www.wallsandfloors.co.uk/rhian-30x10-tiles?product_colour=14%2C22#scroll-js Illumina - a 7.5x30 tile which also comes in blues and a gray. https://www.tonsoftiles.co.uk/illumina-wall-tiles/colour/blue-grey.html My current favourite is the Illumina as the finish looks lovely. I would have to apply the tiles vertically along the worktop by the sink though, as trimming 1-2cm off several 7.5 width tiles sounds like a recipe for lots of broken bits... Any thoughts on tile selection/orientation please? Had a play in Paint at some possibles.

The local one to me has Nobilia brand in and it's the ferro bronze I was thinking of. They do other metallic effects as well but the can supply wall cladding as splashbacks. Google the brand and that ferro bronze and you will see their images Otherwise a lot of splashback companies online do glass with metallic effect now in bronze, copper etc

I was hoping to get £150 which is just the proportionate material cost for that size piece. I had to pay expensive delivery and laser cutting fees on top but I'd have done that anyway so haven't included that in the price :) where are you located? We are in Manchester.

Also not sure if you’ve already bought your splashback but I have a standard size one (750 x 600 mm) left over from my metal sheet and cut to size. If you’d like it you can have it for just the material cost.

I only have one piece left 600 x 750 mm. This is standard splashback size for a stnadard hob. I stuck it on using adhesive from thegluepeople which was really easy. It’s stainless steel which is PVD coated and then polished to mirror. There’s no glass. Companies do make them but all the quotes were ~£1500+. I sourced my metal online then found a local laser company to cut it. There are a few companies that do coated stainless steel and they come in all sorts of finishes and colours. It was a nightmare job templating it ourselves with the sockets, the measurements have to be exactly right.

If you’ve got a standard size hob you can buy my piece but if you want it to go all the way round you’ll have to get it bespokely made like we did. the Material cost of 750 x 600 mm equates to £150 so I was hoping to get around that much for it.

That’s the splashback with the protective coating still intact to protect the mirror finish
