    Question Have you any of these discontinued tiles?

    I am about to have a new kitchen fitted but I want to keep the tiles which I have.... unfortunately some of them have to be broken for various reasons... I need help to find some more as they are now discontinued! They are made by Pilkingtons... they are 10cms square, slightly dimpled and shiny, they have a pattern in each corner ie, 3 terracota ovals, followed by a blue V shape, followed by a green V shape. The centre pattern consists of a central terracota dot, surrounded by a green circle, then followed by four terracota petals/leaf designs with a green 'splash' between each petal/leaf, these are all encased in a blue wavy design which has four points which extend to each (central) side of the tile. Please help if you can.

    Even if you could get hold of some , they might be a different colour shade.............you are having a new kitchen fitted..so why not just go the whole hog and get new tiles as well..

    good luck...

    I'd rip the whole thing down and get something new up, because as Dave said, the replacements will likely be of a slightly different shade than the ones already up, due to age, wear, and sunlight, etc.

    But if you REALLY want to keep the old tiles and just replace the broken ones, you might strike it lucky if you simply call the manufacturer (if they're still around), and ask if they've got some spares. I've done this a few times, and mostly they're had a couple of boxes stored away.
