Through bodied porcelain would be a good choice for hard wearing.

No dry cutter will cut these buggars, I know a guy who has rubi and monty and they like sigma won't cut them either. Wet cut only, grinder can be funny on them too andThey are extremely hard on blades, wet or dry.. Lol.

Thanks for the responses :0) I'm not bringing elephants through or anything, just want it to be reasonably robust
Will ask advice too from my tiler I guess. Don't want to choose anything that will be a ballache (Oops can I say Ballache?) for the fitter.

Found a nice through bodied Porcelain tile at 25 quid /sq metre. I think thats a good price...

Never know your Tiler might get you a discount
£25 is a fair price tho for good quality.
