Mr Tiler Broke All The Tiles - Help?

[Sean fsy]

I know b&q have recently redone their tile displays etc so maybe tracing them could be harder than we think.

got to be worth a looksee tomorrow though , its only down the road from me and i was going to the other 'shed' ( Wickes ) anyway

 

[tungsten tip]

[Sean fsy]

this might sound daft but im sure focus do these tiles(if not very similar) in 300x300.

hi Blondie sorry to here that you have had problems. 2 possible options which may or may not help. 1. rochdale b & q are a dicontinued lines store where everything is no longer available i thier main stores, may be worth phoning them but to be honest wether they will actually go and luck is another matter. 2 have you checked on ebay?? may be worth alook.
i am also going to my local b & q tomorrow so will have a look out for you.

just been on ebay and a company called 3 baytile are selling something very similar if not exactly the same 60x30cm BLACK PORCELAIN SLATE BATHROOM KITCHEN TILES on eBay (end time 17-Mar-10 07:18:19 GMT) have a look and see if they are any good.

Now they are close..

Aha...yus. I spotted those a week or so ago. He's a really nice chap - based in the South I do believe. I know they aren't the B&Q ones cos I phoned him and asked him...all over excited I was too...lolol. But they are very similar. I have not got any tiling under my dish washer, cooker, fridge/freezer or understairs cupboard - so if I can get a couple of the same tiles for the visible floor space - I may just purchase some of this chaps tiles for under the concealed areas. Well spotted Chris!! :hurray: :vanish:

Oh...Chris...update. I already talked to the Rochdale B&Q place - they said they didn't have any. They didn't go look, but they said they had none anyways - the staff at B&Q must be real good at remembering what stock they have of everything cos they all seem to know without looking that there's none there...lolol.

We could possibly do if they bothered to B&Q it!!

Hi Blondie sorry about your predicament, but I see the lads are pitching in, good luck.
out of interest was this a local tiler or did he travel

 

[Blondie]

Local to Doncaster. Would anybody like to know his name? Just in case anybody might ask if he's any good in future? Don't wanna say anything on open forum, but will pm the info if anyone's interested. :smilewinkgrin:

we're more interested in giving helpful advice than naming and shaming Debbie, but thanks for showing constraint

 

[kilty55]

hi debbie do you have a pic of the door way area we can see so we can suggest an alternative tile finish that may tie in?

 

[doug boardley]

good call Jamie

The reason I know its Mrs DJ (won't mention your full name) is that I was searching for your tiles and up popped your other 2 requests on the other sites you have posted a "wanted tile"

Sorry its not a mission impossible story............but hey ho :smilewinkgrin:

 

[kilty55]

why thank you kind doug

 

[Sean Page]

Hiya Blondie,

Sorry to read about the hassle this guy has caused you and it looks like the fella's have come up with most of the suggestions/alternatives already. As you are probably aware by now it's gonna be very difficult to match these tiles. Looking at your photo (and the socks) they could be a close match to a tile called Nain Nero(?) that are available in Tile Giant.

ps. :welcome: to the forum

 

[faithhealer]

yeah great socks, surprising how many pictures of socks we get on here lol

Lol...no worries CJ. Was getting a bit twilight zoned there for a sec..lol (doo do doo do and all that :smilewinkgrin: ) It's not easy trying to type a tune!

There's probably postings on the internet of mine all over da place! I've been like a little ferret - here there and everywhere...lol. Thanks for looking for me though - can't tell ya how much I appreciate all the help I've had from you guys, it's been brilliant!

I wouldn't have posted the tilers name here Doug - that wouldn't be nice. I was just thinking that it might save someone else going through the stress I've been through if people knew who the guy was. I'm happy to keep schtum though. :smilewinkgrin:

Will post a pic of the doorway as suggested in a bit, try not to get my feet in this time..lol. :lol:

 

[The D]

do you have the name of the tile i have 2 boxes of pizarr negro 600 by 300 slate effect if they will help you can have them.
