We are replacing our kitchen units and this is going to reveal an area without tiles, probably laid about 10 years ago! The tiles do not have a pattern name or number, just that they are ceramic, 31.6 sq. They are a pinky/beige shade. We have looked around at various tile centres without success. I know it is unlikely that they are still made, but we wouldn't mind a different shade as long as the size is correct. Can anyone help please?

very wise words,got to know how the last tile is going in before you put in the first

Yes you dont seal ceramic tiles FZ the way to go

150 x 150mm whites will be the cheapest you can get I think and most tile outlets do a version. I think if it's budget in mind first, then go for the whites, perhaps with a sheet of cheap 300 x 300mm mosaics and cut the sheet into the lengths a single strip wide and use that as a border to break it up a bit? Checkout www.tilegiant.co.uk and if there isn't one local, see if there's anything on www.tilehq.co.uk and take it from...

Any decent fixer would be able to sort something other than white for about the same price althouogh choice would be limited.

Hi, Whereabouts are you exactly in Cornwall? I am just starting out in tiling and have undertaken a tiling course. I am currently employed and commute to Bude at weekends. If you are not too far away send me a message me and we'll see what we can sort out, (assuming you don't mind me possibly doing the job!!?) Cheers Paul

These tiles where laid about 6 months ago. Within a month one section of tile lifted, the grout Bal Rapid Flexible adhesive was still stuck to the plywood. We had these tiles replaced. It has now started in another part of the room and at the bottom of the stiars in tiles 300x300. the tiler said it is caused by the plywood being wet Question 1. Am i correct to assume that he should have advised us of this at the time and not laid the tiles? 2....

How thick is the ply and how was it fixed. Was the plywood stored outside then laid wet. What adhesive was used

Hi .. what substrate is the plywood laid onto..?

You could also remove the top course of tiles and replace them with a soldier course as a border. turning them 90degrees and cutting into uneven ceiling could look quite effective if done neatly.
