Can you share pics? I assume it's an old kitchen, came with your house?

There are tile stickers you could try. I wouldn’t think they are very durable to be honest. You could probably tile over the splashback with tiles to lighten the effect?

You really do need grout for your backsplash, for a proper job that is waterproof and easy to clean. Having said that, I once did a "just for now" refreshing of my tiny kitchen to hold it over for a while until I could afford to totally gut it and start over. I didn't want to bother grouting in some inexpensive tiles as a backsplash because I thought they would only be there for a short time. I painted the backsplash area a similar colour to the tiles, so the stark white plaster would not show through the cracks between the tiles and then lightly glued the tiles to the wall, butting them up directly to one another. Little did I know that I was about to get laid off from my job and it would be 8 years before I could afford to do the renovation I desired. The ungrouted tile backslash held up beautifully and because I was careful, remained dry and clean for that whole time. I just finally did the kitchen reno this past winter and they stayed stuck tight to the plaster as I tore it out. :-)

Is this the upstand for the whole of the worksurface or a splashback behind a sink or hob? If it's the Upstand then i'd match the worktop. For the splashback, then match the type of surface to that of the worktop, ie, if it's gloss stay with gloss, if matt stay with matt. As long as the surfaces are easy to clean then staying within a style will keep the kitchen looking seemless.

Hi, What sort of look are you after? And what colour is the worktop? I'm not a big fan of tiles in the kitchen ever since we installed a splashback which is ever so easy to clean and you have no worry about grout lines. I'd consider a neutral coloured splashback, maybe a greige? or a antique, distressed effect mirror splashback to bounce light.

Hi, A glass splashback in a neutral (or bold colour if you wish) would look lovely and tie in with the contemporary look you are after. They are easy to maintain and there's no grout lines to worry about. You could opt for a light neutral such as stone, light grey or pale blue or a more bolder orange/ teal or yellow. Alternatively, using the same worktop design as a splashback is also very effective in maintaining a modern, sleek look.
