Each to there own mate!! Thanks for the tips on slate by the way.
They're quite nice in a sleazy kind of 70's ****-flick way!
Just need some shag pile toilet seat and pedestal covers to go with them now.

No door bar?
If you mean the metal threshold strip, that was put on when i put the door back on, after the photo. ...it was naff looking too though, an ancient aluminium one that was all bent.(didn't want a new one).
I found the tiles really difficult to mark because of the funny shape, you can see where i effed up a bit if you zoom in on the sink pedestal.
i have to go back today and give it another clean up and seal round the sanitry wear and cover up that jaggedy cut. if it still looks bad i'll lift it and re-do, there was a couple spare.

WOW old provecale tiles wot a nightmare aint used any of those in ten years my old gaffer bought a job lot end of line about 3000 metres it took him 6 years to get shot of em.....lol
and yes they are a bitch to mark accuratly
Did a conservatory floor a few months ago and had to cut back some of these tile as the old external door had been moved back. The customer said he would have liked to have continued the existing tiles into the conservatory but luckily they are no longer available.



Used to be very popular did Provencale tiles...........and tiles with tacos.....how times change....
Iv'e ripped more of those up than put down, never liked them...but the blue rinse brigade luv em, along with harvest kitchen tiles 6x6" with fruit, field mouse or cheese board printed on them...yak

Was only asked last year if I could source some for a (blue rinsed) customer!
