Hi,

Can someone please help me to find out where can I buy this tile from.
Says made in Indonesia.

Thanks

Google says they're from homebase.
What's up with the job?!

Thank you! The person who is doing the job had been to a few stores but didn't find a match. It said Made in Indonesia at the back of the tile.

I dropped a standard shampoo bottle and didn't notice the crack for a few weeks, resulting in a beautiful abstract painting on the ceiling below. Also, poor grouting job so needs fixing.

There is no part number or did you search with CY592?

I googled - "home of style" + porcelain tiles
Homebase came up with the one above - not a definite result but worth asking them?

OK great, thanks. Will check tomorrow.

I would be concerned that dropping a bottle of shampoo on the floor cracked a tile. I suspect the D&D brigade may have made another appearance!!!!!!!!!!

I didn't notice the crack for a while. That's the only thing I could think of in retrospect.

There doesn't look to be 100% coverage on floor, definite gaps between adhesive although there is a lot more than generally seen using that method

Wonder if a back skim might have been in order....

Would've helped no doubt

Put simply, a properly waterproofed wet area would not allow water to get downstairs, even if all the tiles were cracked and all the grout was missing.
I'm afraid there's more to your leak than a cracked tile!

I'd agree - nothing inside/outside or wall/floor lines up. If the finish aesthetics is not important what does that say about the preparation.

The grout was missing in places on tiles outside the cubicle. The glass door had dropped slightly so won't shut completely and I think water must have seeped through sides and front. I'm considering if all tiles need lifting up. It stopped getting worse when I stopped using this bathroom. So it's definitely not a pipe leak. I hope it's not worse, is costly as it is. Also, he couldn't find matching tiles so could be looking at re-doing floor in different tiles. It's fully tiled floor to ceiling so would like to avoid. We obviously liked the finish during viewings (expensive mistake) and now it's falling apart.

There's a good chance the ceiling will need some work, so access through the ceiling to find where the leak could be located from visually could possibly answer your questions.
