Finding more tiles for the bathroom???

swebb

I want to fit a new shower for the bathroom and will need some more tiles... (will need to remove and replace). I have 3 that I've found in the garage but will need a few more. I have the fun of trying to find more of the same style. They must be quite a few years old (were there before we moved into the house 5 years ago).

Anyone any suggestions or know of anywhere that specialises in finding them?

Thanks.

If they are Johnsons or Pilkinton tiles then you have a chance, you could try indipendant tile suppliers. Topps& B&Q dont waste your time.

agreed.
also try freecycle and ebay.

new ranges come out every 3months.

i'd bet your ones are discontinued

Yes - I guess I will struggle. There might be something close to the style I would hope.

What you could do is take a photo of the tiles & go to a decent specialist tile shop & see if they can identify them. I did this myself after moving into this house & needed to fill a gap occupied by a large American fridge freezer that the previous owner had had.

I was impressed when the tile salesman identified the tiles as soon as he looked at the photo & was able to order them on the phone for me to collect 3 days later. Mine were an Italian make, so not one of the major English tile manufacturers which made it even more incredible that he was able to identify them so easily, but were a popular range though.
