Cheap quality tiles, where?

Been looking at tiles for our bathroom and floor tiles for kitchen and diner.

The ones we have looking is Topps Tiles but they're too expensive also looked at B&Q and Wicks and then looked on-line and found 'walls and floor's and price seems reasonable but can't decide from pictures and did order some samples which turns out to be slightly diff on actual sighting.

Wondered if anyone know anyother physical shop or even cheaper on-line good websites.:)

    You get what you pay for. You can't get cheap quality. - thats an oxymoron.

    H'mmm, not sure, sometimes you can, but you have to be very canny and wait your time for the bargains.

    Fortunately I have an insider at 1 of the sheds and get to know when they are dropping a range and disposing existing stock.

    Absolutely no use to you op but carry on posting, I'm now a fan of yours and your dilemmas.:D

    Seriously just keep looking, the amount matters, disposals usually consist of maybe a max of 5 or 7 sq mtrs, sometimes more, but whatever you do, please ensure you have enough to finish the job if buying end of line. You won't get any more.
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    Maybe if you post your budget and what you're looking for (ceramic or natural stone)? Topps, B&Q and Wickes all do a wide price range of tiles so if the cheapest ones are too expensive then you might just need to spend a little more.

    Well, I was going to go that way as well, but, if this is a series of trolling posts the op hasn't reacted to any of your or my challenges.

    I really don't want to insult eastender further other than to say;

    Come on, spill the beans, is all this a wind up by a "non native" builder????


    I'm beginning to think it's from the builder himself who really hasn't got a clue.:eek::eek:

    Yes I agree C but it is funny trying to guess what the next thread will be, I'm guessing "can I put a socket above the bath so I can relax with a nice cup of Earl Grey"

    I got my floor tiles from Tile HQ (online) at a fraction of the price of the same tiles from Topps. I got 11 boxes and not a single tile was damaged.
    3 stone down, 3 more to go
