Tiling Services in Uplands
Bathroom Tiling
We help homeowners transform bathrooms into waterproof, low-maintenance spaces. Period homes often have narrow upstairs bathrooms or ensuite conversions needing careful tile layout and water sealing.
What we install:
- Slip-resistant flooring for safety
- Seamless grout lines that last
- Contemporary finishes that keep period charm
Kitchen Tiling
Many early 20th-century terraces have been remodelled into open-plan kitchen-diners. Durable tiled splashbacks and floors handle daily wear while bringing light into naturally shaded rooms.
Our approach includes hard-wearing ceramic and porcelain for busy families, plus patterned or metro tiles that work with period features.
Floor and Wall Tiling
Multi-storey terraces often have hallways perfect for traditional mosaic patterns that create a lasting first impression.
We work with porcelain and natural stone across entrances, bathrooms, and kitchens.
From new flats on St James Gardens to historic family homes, we deliver finishes built to last.
Local Market Context
Local property values have risen to £254,000 in 2025 — well above Swansea's citywide average of £209,000. Renovation activity has surged 109% in five years, with bathroom and kitchen refits among the top projects.
Over 7,600 property sales happened in the past year, and many buyers upgrade straight after purchase.
Over 24% of Swansea homes have six or more rooms. Many of Uplands' multi-storey terraces fall into this group, needing careful planning across multiple floors.

Most Popular Tiles for Uplands Homes
Victorian Mosaic Tiles
Uplands is famous for Victorian terraces. The traditional Swansea mosaic pattern uses distinctive rectangles, triangles, and squares. These appear in hallway floors, fireplace hearths, and porch entrances.
Restoring heritage floors adds resale value and attracts buyers looking for authentic details.
Metro and Large-Format Tiles
Metro tiles are most popular for splashbacks and wet room walls, especially in rooms with smaller windows. They maximise light in local terraces and flats.
Current trends include grey, white, and pastel metro tiles, herringbone layouts, and large-format porcelain for clean, contemporary looks.
Natural Stone and Earthy Tones
Slate, limestone, and travertine connect homes to Swansea's coastal heritage. These durable materials suit high-traffic family kitchens, bathrooms, and garden paths.
Tile stores in SA2 report earth tones and green shades rising in popularity.
Local Style Preferences
Period properties favour patterned tiles and original mosaics for hallways. Modern flats prefer large, light-coloured tiles for open-plan living.
Local suppliers report surging demand for bespoke Victorian borders and Swansea-specific centrepiece designs.
Popular applications:
- Bathrooms: Subway tiles, marble-effect tiles, black and white patterns
- Kitchens: Pastel metro splashbacks, wood-effect porcelain floors, herringbone patterns
- Entrances: Swansea mosaic patterns, natural slate, Victorian borders
