Anybody have them? Do you love them? Did you get a professional fitter in or did you fit it yourselves?

I'm trying to decide if they are worth the cost but they do look like good quality.

I didn't even know they did these, just had a quick google. They look lovely. Where are you thinking of having them?

I have them in our bathroom (spots with pale blue background).

I do like the way they look although they show every speck of dirt, so I end up hoovering it a lot.

I'd definitely get someone to fit it professionally. We did and don't regret it, although over time some of the joints have moved very slightly. Any botched DIY would really show (though I'm sure your DIY skills are far superior to mine!).

Hope that helps.

Thank you for your responses, we are thinking of the cowboy pattern in the children's/ family bathroom. I'm a bit concerned about it showing up dirt but I do hoover and mop often so fingers crossed they will be OK. Just received the samples and they are lovely! So hard wearing too!!

I fitted my own lino tiles, long ago, as a student. It's very easy, if you have a Stanley knife and some paper to make a pattern for any tricky areas.

Thanks Linah. Handling these samples, they are solid vinyl tile (they don't bend at all) so I think I will leave or to professional fitters who have the appropriate tile cutters.

We have the rose sprig in a child's small ensuite. Were professionally fitted and have no complaints. Would deffo recommend but with professional flitting. Paid around £80 to fit as part of another tiling job. Hope that helps!

Fitting even....bloody ipad!

We had harvey maria tiles (pacific water design) in a children's small bathroom at our last house.

DH fitted them but they were tricky and wouldn't recommend diy.

Were great not slippy or cold. Still looked good after 7 years.

Do get them fitted - I've done our cheap vinyl tiles, and they look fine, but at £40 sqm, I would definitely get someone really experienced to do them!
