Individual Tiles

Hi all,

I'm sticking this here as I think it's where there'll be the most knowledge.

Where, in the UK, can I buy tiles individually? They're going to be for craft purposes so I don't want to have to buy huge packs when I only want maybe 4 of a type. xxx

I'll start the ball rolling: B&Q.

Don't most tile retailers sell samples?

Was going to say b&q.

Every style has an open box that you can purchase individually. Also I picked up a single large tile in Homebase on the weekend as a splash back for a cloakroom sink. They also had open boxes for all their tiles.

I think most retailers will sell you samples. I don't know how you plan to use them, but could you use broken/ chipped tiles? If you could, I would speak to your local tile shop and see if they will sell any rejects to you at a lower price.

Home base, wickes, b&q basically most DIY/home stores have both single tiles and boxes of tiles. Around £1 each for standard tiles alone I think.

Been up to Homebase (I genuinely never knew you could buy individual tiles). They had loads from as little as 15p up to about £1.50 ish. (I'm using them as coasters with a picture on the front).

Thanx all xxx

Put a call out on freecycle as many homeowners will have half boxes hanging around to get rid of!!

depends what kind of tiles you want - plain or patterned?

Tops Tiles sell them individually. Also look in charity shops, sometimes they have them a 'pot stands'.

Also you can get samples from eBay.
