Why repair rather than replace?
Replacing a tile means breaking it out, tracking down a matching tile and possibly cracking its neighbours. A repair keeps the original tile. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we handle tile repair in Upper Race
We repair the tile in place, so you don’t need to find a spare. If a tile moves, it may need relaying first, and we’ll tell you. We regularly repair porcelain tiles, ceramic tiles and natural stone & granite, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked floor tiles and chips from dropped pans and tools.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen. Take care with heavy items on repaired tiles, and use a pH-neutral cleaner.

What else we do in Upper Race
Prices and what affects them
Repairs from £95. We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
FAQs for Upper Race
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What about drill holes in tiles?
Yes. Drill holes from old rails and shelves are a common job.
Can landlords book you?

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Loose or hollow tiles that need relaying
- Cracks caused by a moving floor, until the floor is fixed
- Whole walls of failing grout
