splashguard

Wheel well protector

A splashguard is a barrier that prevents liquid from splashing onto people or surfaces.

Kitchen sink splashguards mount behind faucets to protect walls.

Wheelchair splashguards keep mud off users.

The term applies to any shield designed to deflect spray or splatter: The urinal's splashguard wasn't doing its job.
