    Keep them! You never know when you will need them, at least you will have the same batch if any ever need replacing. You'll only get a few quid back but might have to change your whole bathroom in the future if your tiles get discontinued.

    Are you likely to need more? Just consider things like, if the shower ever needs replacing or if you change your radiator. Don't go overboard, just keep enough to cover you if you have any mis-haps!

    Good point, i have yet to fit all the bits back so hopefully no breakages then and will stick with what i have. As this is a second bathroom, might go for matching look in the main one. Depends if tiles are still available when i can afford it. If i do then will have some spares for both.
