I've instantly run into problems - the sink isn't square/level to the corner. I can either line the tiles up with the corner and they aren't level with the sink, or I...

    Hi, Is it possible to identify a tile from the markings on its back? We recently bought a house that at some point (four or five years ago, I'm guessing) had had a kitchen fitted by Magnet. I'm assuming that the tiles were supplied by Magnet, but they've been unable to confirm that as they...
