Hi Guys. I’m looking for just a couple of plain, gloss white tiles 245mm x 330 to replace a couple of tiles after fitting a new shower in a cubicle. British Ceramic tiles went into administration on 30th January this year so I’m hopeful that there may be a few around still.

Its been a couple of weeks since the news about the closure of BCT.
On another social page I made a comment about the quality of their product and only got 1 like!
There is lots of media about finding employment for the staff, but being self employed ( and looking for work 24/7) I have a hard...

Some rumours floating about today, that BCT have gone into administration. We've got some people looking into it, trying to find out more, but if anyone else hears anything about this, please share.
Manchester Library have blocked access so there's another way through Glasgow. No need to create an account..... at the moment.

Have just bought some BCT wall and floor tiles for our new bathroom floor, well shower room really, approx 4 sqm.
Our tiler has told us that BCT wall & floor tiles aren't up to the job of being used on the floor and will crack.
Anyone have experience of opinion on this?
Tiles are "BCT50650" Luna
Wow! It seems the power of social media has had some effect!
I try to keep the forum Twitter account ticking over and recently the issue of how bad BCT (British Ceramic Tiles) are for us tilers.
BCT have openly put it out there wanting feedback from us.....
So please either respond to...

Hello,
I recently received some great advice from you all regarding an ongoing dispute (Is this an acceptable edge cut? - https://www.tilersforums.com/threads/is-this-an-acceptable-edge-cut.84202/), and I wondered if I might impose on you one more time for some information regarding BS 5385.

I emailed the TTA regarding a tile supplied by a TTA registered retailer, although this "issue" is common for many tiles and relates to nominal sizing.
The nominal size is only a guideline. Size "in name only" for identification purposes. The size a tile is advertised as, but due to calibres...
Ola one and all.
I have been trying for the past week to get onto the British Standards via Newcastle Library. When I first spoke to them, the were looking at renewing the subscription shortly.
I have tried again today and it still isn't working. I have called them again today and...
My and @Lou thought we'd knock up a new forum yesterday so looked through some domain names we have, and rather than start something else business or automotive-related we thought we'd try something new so we went for more of a social theme with BritishForums.co.uk.
So far we've sorted out the...
Having left 8 years ago I've forgotten when summer starts in England. I got off the plane at Gatwick yesterday to 13°C and rain, I suddenly remembered why I left!
The only positive is that everywhere is lush and green....
These tiles have always been of pretty poor quality but, the ones I've been fitting this week have been a sizing nightmare! I don't understand how there can be such a size variation from one tile to the next. It's kind of ironic that the HD range are supposed to be at the forefront of tile...

Can anybody give me a free link to the Tiling Standards lippage. Just finished a big job various rooms and it has been classed as a bodge! Complete **** take! Worked there a week and not received a penny. 15 years tiling and this has never happened before!!! Not amused...
After my previous post about BCT crazing. I said I would never use them again, but just completed a job I was unaware of manufacturer until I noticed that a lot of the tiles were bowed. Seriously, I mean I will post some pics later this week just to show you how bad. I'm all for british...

I'm using British Ceramic Tiles (Not my choice) Had an initial problem with somer tiles being 2mm different in size.
