    Default Matching tiles

    I had a wee accident in the kitchen and had to take down some of the wall units. Now need to match the capping/border that runs around the rest of the room.

    Tiles were Johnsons and are approx 10 years old. The buidlers merchants that initially supplied have lots left but they are much lighter in colour than the batch I got.

    I have looked on-line but have not been able to find them.

    Does anyone know of a good supplier who may have these or of a company who could make a small batch, which I know would be expensive.

    Thanks

    I really would not hold out much hope in trying to source a tile that is 10 years old, shades will be different and also the size may be different. Getting a firm to make a small run of them would be impossible and even if you did manage to find one you would be cheaper to just retile the whole room.
