Hi Everyone, I'm a newbie and having big trouble tring to find some tiles to finish off my kitchen. We moved house a year ago, and would like to use the same tiles that were put on the other walls to finish off the remaining wall.I've no idea of the manufacturer, but I am goimg to upload a picture of the tiles. If there is anybody out there who could help?..............

Hi Grouter

Worth a try, any other info would be good with the pic, size, finish and perhaps an idea of how old they are. If they;re over 5 years old you may struggle to find the same tile again. Even if they are still available it may be hard to get exactly the same shade and calibration but as said above worth a try.

Hello, and welcome, Grouter! I too am new to the forum. Sorry to hear that you have this problem. Each tile manufacturer has their own specific pattern on the back of the tile for identification. This may help you as well. However, since tiles are produced and fired in batches, as mentioned earlier, the colour of the replacement tiles may not be an exact match to the existing tiles - there may be a slight variation in shade. But maybe if you are able to stagger the new ones among the existing it won't be so noticeable? Smitten
