Hi guys.

Well I have just completed tiling my bathroom. My first major tiling DIY job. Well actually I was helping my Dad. He has been tiling for years but has been away from it for a long time so was a bit rusty. But needlesss to say he soon got the peddles going again on the bike

I was really intrigued with the tricks he showed me (none of them on YouTube

The job went without a hitch and it was great working with pops.
When we got the walls finished I was amazed at how little waste was left. Which is just as well cos we only had one complete tile left. :-O
That is a bit too close for comfort. I was hoping to have a few more tiles than that spare - just in case.
No problem I thought. I tootled back to Homebase to buy some more.
Discontinued!
NUTS!

So, as a bit of dissaster prevention. I am looking around for another box of these tiles.
I have posted the following details on TilesInYourGarage
Maker - Johnson
Description - Carrera Field (white with faint grey marble effect)
Size - 40x30cm
Johnson's product code - crmb1a

Can anyone help. I have been surfing for hours and found nothing.

Hello and welcome... Hope you find some spares.

I bought the tiles back in March of this year From Homebase in Portlethen (nr Aberdeen).

when we found they were not on the shelves (a week ago)we asked them to check the product code on their system. The number does not even exist in their inventory any more - not very encouraging! Even if one of their branches did have some of these tiles going spare, there is no way for the computer system to find them. Daft!
