Kitchen floor tile search

ACurlyWurly · 19/10/2022 08:30

I am about to have a new kitchen fitted. I like to look of the tiles in there but 2 are broken and a gap will be exposed where the floor is bare concrete. I have calculated I need 11 new tiles to match up and I can keep the floor. (After a re grout)
My alternative is to rip up the old tiles get the floor re levelled and replace the whole thing (quote £2600)
The existing tiles have been in for years before I bought the house. Is there a site that you have used to find tiles?
The usual suspects on the high street have no joy
Also, can I have a floor retailed after the kitchen is done? Stupid question but I can't delay the fitters and may not have time to do a whole floor if that's the only option

@ACurlyWurly are they these from B and Q?

I thought so they are very close but mine are dark grey, but could have been these originally and scuffed to grey I guess

Have you seen them in real life as the colour could be different to the photo? We had then in our last house and they were a dark grey like slate.

@MissFritton65 ohhhh....I am going to look now! thank you. Last time i went they were out of stock so i went by the photo but yes the colour in photos is always misleading.

I have the exact same problem. I looked at the b and q ones but they're too small. Mine came from Topps about 14 years ago. To replace whole floor would cost a couple of grand as the units would have to come out.

I have these in my extension and continuing out onto my patio and they are fab and I get lots of compliments for them

They have gone up quite a bit since I bought them but they still are good for the price

@crossstitchingnana these look the same size so i am going to pop down and see, its so frustrating when the cost of a couple of tiles is compared to the cost of a whole new floor. If i find matching tiles i might by the whole stock and keep the spares in my shed

Good to hear op.

We had this problem a few months ago. For those who need this help reading the thread in the future, It's definitely worth trying Google image search for whatever tile you're looking for
Eg. Slate floor tile 30 x 30
Or whatever.
