Buying wall tiles

supersol

I need wall tiles for a very small cloakroom. I would like reasonable quality at a MSE-type price. Can anyone help? Where should I look and what price should I expect to pay?

There are lots of tile warehouses around, you should get good prices there. Anything from £5 per square metre. For something more upmarket expect to pay around £12.

If you want to pay less go for the 'stock' tiles which are all around the store in piles. Ones pasted onto sliding panels showing exotic designs tend to be a lot more expensive.

I bought my kitchen tiles on eBay. Excellent quality and fast delivery from a very helpful eBayer. Much cheaper than the bathroom tiles that I bought from Topps Tiles and much better customer care!

I second this. I think the seller was called tiledealer direct. Quantity advertised on e-Bay was large, which suited us, but he also quotes for smaller quantities. We bought Laura Ashley tiles at half price of any local supplier. Delivered in 3 days.

It's usually cheapest to get white tiles and then add some border tiles to brighten them up. The 'bumpy' ones (often the cheapest) are very good for hiding imperfections in the walls, but sucker pads won't stick to them.
