Finding old tiles

[roggrandad]

Hi
We have moved in to a new bungalow a short while ago and would like to change the toilet cistern and the basin but the cistern and basin were fitted before the tiles,I don't know where the tiles came from or how old they are can someone please give me any information on tracking down some replacement tiles.
They are 30cmx20cm wall tiles I have taken a picture of them and will try and post.
Thank you.
Roger.

Hi Rog,

bit hard to see from your picture, but seems to be a generic 20x30 wall tile.

A lot of diy stores will carry these, I know a lot of online stores do as well.

You're more than likely not going to be able to match the existing tiles due to shading (Different colours between batches)

Hope this has helped,

Matt

Try searching for 'tiles in your garage' but before you do that check that spares weren't left under the bath ;)

Hi Matt
Thank you for reply,I will have to do a lot of looking around then,I think I could get away with the different shade as they will be mainly behind the basin and cistern.
Again thanks.

Hi
I have looked in the garage and I looked under the bath but no joy.
Thanks.

No Problem Roger :)

As stated above tiles in my garage might be an idea if you can't find any, but I doubt you'll struggle.

If you have a loose piece take it into the shop with you, makes it a ton easier for us.

Cheers,

Hi
That's a good idea I will have the bath panel off again and see if there are any long pieces below the bath and I might be able to take a piece off.
Thanks.
