    I had the same problem as you and found the right size on Ebay at the time. I ended up not buying from there though, I just bought metric from B+Q then cut them to size and sanded them. They were getting painted anyway and they dont look out of place next to the imperials.

    This is the place we use - you could pop in and ask them?

    8 inches is 20.32 cm so not much difference really ?

    There is a place in North London called Dominion Tiles. They specialise in all old stock. They buy end of lines from the big manufacturers and sit on it so that when somebody needs a tile to be matched they have them in stock.

    Call them on 020 8344 7070. They are really helpful.
