    Thanks Hollydays - I've already done it and it shows some Palio tiles, but not the ones I am after :(

    Thanks HugoSP too - I had a look in B&Q yest but at the mo there aren't any that quite look similar, but they did have the laminate tile effect stuff that is quite a good match, but I think it's gonna work out quite a bit dearer for that than actual tiles.

    Focus have some tiles called 'Ghana' that aren't too bad a match colour wise, but it's just that they are square edged, not uneven edged like mine, so I don't know how obvious they would look - I could perhaps sort out some kind of threshold strip to blend it in, like paddysmum said above...

    Oh what a kerfuffle! :rolleyes:

    I've been Money Tipped!
    gerty - don't go buying any until I've had a chance to dig about in the garage because I'm pretty sure I have got at least a dozen boxes. We need to PM one another to check the colour is right so just hang on a little longer ....

    Thanks Paddy's mum - That would be fab news if you had that many! Yes, please PM me when you know more - I have got a couple of spares which I'm pretty sure are still in the original box, so I'll dig them out asap and have a look for barcodes or something to see if we match up.

    Don't go out of your way to search though - I won't be fitting them for a good few weeks, so whenever you get chance to look is fine. :)

    Thanks again - I'll wait to hear from you by PM. :)

    Hi, I was in the Nottingham branch today (the one in the big retail park near the City Centre, but I'm not from the area so don't know the name of it!), but after enquiring for you, they also said that this particular tile is discontinued.

    Sorry I can't give you better news mate :(

    what about posting a question on https://www.tileforums.com
  • Hi there - did you have any joy with these? We have made a similar mistake only we have run out of tiles to finish off our kitchen after miscalculating how many we need and stupidly not checking if they still did them. We desperately need two packs of the balio beige tiles - if you did manage to get hold of any would love to know where.

    Try http://www.bctltd.co.uk/

    BCT make some of the tiles for both Homebase and Focus so you might be lucky and find one of their dealers stocks the tile under a different name
