Suitable tiles for a repair job.

[Paul R Cox]

Hello, I've got a repair to do to on a shower that has been tiled with the old johnson textured vein tiles. I know these are no longer available but I was wondering if anyone could recommend anything that's anywhere near as thin. I know the cheap whites are pretty thin but they'd still create a lip. I'd normally recommend ripping out and starting again but this particular job is for an elderly relation and I'm trying to save him money. He doesn't mind the miss-match, he just wants it fixed! Grateful for any ideas....

What size are the sizes ? 4 1/4" or 6"

They're 4 1/4 but I'm not fussed about the size really, more the thickness. This would mean I could patch in and not have to rip out the whole wall. Cheers.

Well you would be able to get plenty of 150mm tiles to suit. Vitra make a good colour range. Available from CTD or good tile shops.

Also the cheap Lanka tiles in CTD are very thin..
