Help!: Tile Matching - Scored Brown Tile

[pt44]

Hi Chaps/Ladies

I'm working on repairing a wet-room floor for a client. As some moronic builder decided to install the base poorly - and it cracked. I've managed to take it all apart and fix that part of things. Now comes the re-tiling.

I thought - naively, that this was a common tile. It appears from speaking to various suppliers that it certainly isn't. The width of the tile is apparently unusual at 10inches, 26cm.

Can any one identify it? If I had any sense (sometimes I don't) I would have kept the waste tiles I took up - and looked for the maker. But of course - I didn't. There are still tiles on the wall - but they are against wedi-board and I'm not going to re-tile the walls as well as the floor.

Pics attached.

Could you not remove one wall tile to check for a makers name.

Not sure it's that simple. This is tiled on Wedi board - its a wetroom. Now from my experience, if you remove a tile from the wedi board, it will rip the board, therefore ruin the waterproof seal - i.e. it would no longer be a wet-room. Removing the floor has proven this. At the edge of the floor to wall I've managed to retain the wedi tape - so that I can re-tape onto that edge and create a seal. Removing a tile from the wall - how on earth would I then get behind the surrounding tiles to create a seal?

I assume you didn't do the original tiling? Can the customer not remember where they're from?

Have you tried these ?

It looks like a British Ceramic Tile tile to me, they are a cheaper alternative to the porcelanosa equivalent. Might be worth a look.

No - I didn't do the original tiling.
No - Customer didn't do it either. They bought a house done up by builders. So it was already there. Was probably done up a couple of years back.

Tiles in your garage - not easy to search, but brown scored brought up nothing.
British Ceramic Tile - interesting, they have something that looks similar, but is not it. There's has a score down the centre line and is only 25cm wide. However, it might make a close enough match, so thanks for that.

Any other ideas anyone?
