    We got prices for tiles in the Tile Market sale and then spoke to the owner in Ocean tiles (Unit 5a Knockmore Business Centre, Moira Road, Lisburn) and he was able to do a virtually identical tile for less.

    Where do you live?? There is a fantastic wee place near Limavady ... I priced tile market etc and a few other local shops but this place came in about 40% cheaper for what I needed. I retiled my bathroom walls and floor and had tiles to do for a complete new ensuite - floors and walls.
    I paid cash and didnt have VAT to pay! ... dont want to name as he prob shouldnt be doing that :-) but can pm u if you are in that area.

    Tile Market always seem to have a sale on but their tiles are still pretty expensive. And with 75% off it doesn't say much for the original price.

    I am still in the process of tiling various part of the house but so far I have found Porcelanosa in Bangor to be pretty good and is the supplier that our tiler uses too. Balmoral Tiles in Bangor have also come recommended.

    We are about to re-do our two bathrooms, any up-to-date recommendations for both good value and good range of tiles, looking for the larger sizes 600 X 1200 ( 600 x 600 for the floor) , range called Porcelain or similar polished type.

    Thanks!

    Wickes have an up-to-50% sale atm. Why not check out their website and see if there's anything on sale that you like?

    I would suggest Bassetts, they have a large range and are flexible on price
