Sort of Grey colour with dark Grey flecks on them. Are these available anywhere? I need 2 more.

    Try the H&R Johnson prismatic range, they have a grey speckle just like that, but the tiles are only 147mmx147mm so if your tiles are more than a few years old the sizes will be off.
    Pilkingtons still do true 6" tiles in 152mmx152mm they may have an equivilant in their (If it hasn't been discontinued) matrix range. :-)

    Forgot to add, they can normally be ordered, but tend not to be stocked so you may have to order a box. It is always worth having some spare kicking around in the shed though.

    I'm going to trawl around some tile places today. I spotted some that looked very similar last night via google. The other option is to sacrifice some tiles from somewhere else.

    There is a tile company in East London called Dominion Tiles who specialise in all old tiles. They buy end of lines and then hold them knowing that people will need to match them. They normally request that a sample is sent to them. I've used thema couple of times and they are pretty efficiaent. 020 8344 7070

    Apparently they're Pilkington tiles. From the late 80s.
    152mm rather than 147mm. I found some close matches today and was told of a place that would probably stock them.
