    do you want real slate? bearing in mind that it will need sealing every so often or porcelain effect?

    I have just had my dream bathroom fitted with slate effect porcelain tiles. Hardwearing and no sealing we woo!


    I had ordered them from tiles direct but after them not delivering them and having to waiting nearly two months to get my money back I went with Victoria Plum. There was a big sale on at the time so they where really cheap. Tiles are beautiful, heavy, look amazing and service was outstanding.http://www.victoriaplumb.com/Tiles/Floor-Tiles/Onda-Brown-Glazed-Porcelain-Floor-Wall-Tile-30cm-x-60cm_3187.html

    How much where they in B&Q?


    I know when I ordered mine I called them and still managed to get a little off because of the amount I was ordering. ( it was floor to ceiling). Might be worth a go.

    My bathroom is now almost the same expect the bath is bigger, well very big! ( and I love it) The brown tones are amazing and they are not all the same so the overall effect is of natural stone but with none of the sealing or on going maintenance. I would shop around, Think Topps tiles where very expensive but there where a few others just please please do not order from tiles direct as I still have not got the money back although my c/card company said it should be with me in the next few days.
