Green 1970's H & R Johnson Cristal tiles

Thanks for that, I am having a rethink as we love the original suite and would like to keep it so i have found a similar avocado green acrylic shower backing, So i am hoping i can take the tiles off from that area and reuse them where the bath went,My next question is does anyone have any good tips on removing them without breakages (I have a grout cutting disc in my multi tool which seems to do the job but getting them prized off after is the difficult bit)

2nd tile shown was Waldorf and Savoy by Cristal tiles.

That's so funny I just bought a house and my kitchen is done in the exact same tile but orange. They painted over it of course 🙄How did you find out who made them?

Hi We have just bough a older house with a Avocado bathroom suite which we want to keep but want to remove the bath and put a shower in so will be short on some tiles, Here is a pic of what i'm after (Green 1970's H & R Johnson Cristal), If any body has or knows where i can get these that would be great

Just a bit of research and they Had Johnson's on the back which helped

Ah I see, I haven't ripped any of mine out yet I was considering keeping them. Thank you for replying!

We love ours, I have redone our En suite bathroom and managed to keep the old tiles and restore them, Most people said bin them and buy new, but there is no choice now all plain colours

You're right, there's just no choice unless you order it from Italy or something ridiculous! I have no idea what to colour the cupboards though 😅

It's worth saving them if you can

Tiki,

I have just come across 123 of the Cristal "Solitaire Turquoise" (NOS) during a barn clearance exercise to help a friend declutter. They are the same pattern as yours but I'm not sure if they are the exact same shade. These are HRJ code RW/S1/16.
I have 4 complete boxes of 25 each and 23 unboxed.

Are these any use to you?
I'm about 10mins from the Dartford crossing in Kent (5mins Ebbsfleet International) for collection purposes.
I was going to put them on ebay this weekend once I've worked out a price but please shout back if you want first dibs beforehand.

Hi Thanks for that, If had of seen these a couple of months ago...!, I am now sorted with a lot of hard work soaking and scraping the backs off the old ones, they are now back on the wall of the bathroom
