Need to replace some bathroom wall tiles 200 x 250.
Having a hard time finding a similar tile. Doesn't have to be an exact match.

Anyone have any suggestions? I've exhausted all the options in Coventry.

I doubt you're going to find it easy to find those to be honest. You could try taking a picture into a Topps Tiles store. They used to do a tile-finding services. But it'd be a case of them needing to know the name for them to enter it into their systems. They sometimes have the odd tile a few years old in their stores somewhere across the country and can bring it up by name. But I'm not sure 11+ years they'd even have the same staff in the store now that they had when that tile was on the market. Worth a chance though perhaps.

40+ is a fair area. Can you perhaps section it off and use another contrasting tile and make it look like it was meant to be like that? Do you have a picture of the full area that has the damaged or missing ones? We can perhaps come up with some ideas for you...?

This is a photo of the area I need to patch up. I had a new window put in so I need to patch it up somehow.
40 tiles is a overestimate. I found some similar tiles but they're 200 x 200. The original tiles are 200 x 250. I don't know whether the 200 x 200 will be sufficient.

Could you possibly strip them off as a column ceiling to floor and replace with a 200x250 white... giving a "band" effect (as a bigger chunk it will make it into a feature instead of a bodge block).

My existing tiles are actually 195 x 243 when I measure them myself. Would these be typically sold as 200 x 250?


Generally yes. Batches can vary but that is a fair difference. What size grout joints are In the original tiles? You may be able to pinch a mm or two back if they are big joints and space the new ones closer together?
