Mr Tiler Broke All The Tiles - Help?

[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

 

[Blondie]

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:

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:

Thankyou so much Deanotile! That's a really kind offer. I'm not sure it's the same tile, but I could use them under the concealed parts ie cooker etc. Do you know which store they came from so I can go have a look at them in person - this will give me an idea of how near they are in colour and texture etc. Cheers Deanotile...really appreciate it!! :smilewinkgrin:

Hi Sean,

They are similar to these tiles. What I've noticed is though that the rivens in the tiles are very soft and undulating kind of on my tiles - all the tiles I've seen that are similar have a riven that is sharper and more defined. The nearest one I've found is the guy on eBay - that tiles is a softer riven. Cheers though Sean!

I quoted a job last and i am sure these were the tiles he had bought when a local B&Q closed down last year. They had 10m2 of 600x300 and about 6 m2 of 600 x 600. If i get the job i will see if they want to sell the left overs.
