I'm Looking For This Tile Discontinued ceramic floor tile - Aydos

[Deleted member 53004]

I'm searching for 4 x ceramic graphite-marl floor tiles that I originally bought in Topps Tile Centre in 2007. It's 300x300mm and Topps tell me they had this in stock for a few years after I bought it, but that it's now been discontinued. Anyone know where I can get any from please?

Topps will be the only place I think. They did do a tile-finding service where they'd put a call out to the other stores. But I think that's automatically checkable now from any store, so they'd have quickly found them if they had some in stock even if at the back of one of their small store warehouses hidden away. They do an annual stock-check so they're all on their systems now.

Is this a case of replacing a cracked on? Or something like that?

Thanks for the information, Dan. A repair to the Warmup underfloor heating below the tiles is required and its inevitable that 3 or 4 will get broken in the process, plus I have a cracked one. I'm not very hopeful that I'll find any replacements, but one can always hope!

Oh no that's a shame!

If there is any way you could find a contrasting coloured tile, and somehow spread them out across the area, so it looks like it was always meant to be that way, that might be your only option short of a full re-tile job.

Is Aydos the tile name? Don't suppose you know if it was Topps' own name for the tile and it actually had a manufacturers actual tile name in stores that aren't topps?

Long shot. Just wondering.

I used to work for Topps (a long time before those tiles were in there mind) and whilst they are huge, and did buy their own tiles in and name them, sometimes they did buy tiles that other suppliers sold too, and just renamed them inhouse.
