Default Tile Match / Identification Help Required Please?...

Hi Guys,

My Mother has a disabled wet room (from when my Dad was alive).

Nothing but trouble with it - Unfortunately the builder has gone bust.

We had to relocate the drainage plug hole from the corner of the room, where it has caused her no end of problems.

I have taken a few pictures of the tiles in question, to see if anyone has any idea of what their offical name is etc? My mum tried going to "Topps Tiles" but was told that thay are only sold for disabled Wetrooms/bathrooms, Hello! That's what my mum has.

I would be grateful for all input on these tiles and would be over the moon if someone could tell me where to get them too please?

Anyone got any spares lying around that they want to sell? .

The thickness is about 7mm - 9mm, and are of a Beigey Colour (They have been down for about 10 - 14 years)

Pics.....

Topps Tiles do a 'tile find' service.

Also, Johnson tiles here in staffordshire do tile seconds at a great price - you wouldn't even know they were seconds.

Not sure if they sell to public that way though, ring and find out.

Hi Concept, Thanks for the reply.

Topps Tiles refused to sell them to my mother because my Dad had passed away and that they were not allowed to legally sell them to her as they are disabled tiles.

Personally - i have never heard such rubbish in my life.


PS. I am in Neath, Sunny South Wales.

That seems to me like total rubbish. You probably got the trainee store assistant who didn't really understand what you was on about.

Try googling the tiles - assuming you have the name of them?

Have you got any loose ones, as sometimes the manufacturer name is embossed on the back...

Good starting point

I'd go in topps yourself and see if you can just get the name at east, then you can start to look for them.
