Here are a couple of points to help - further to what has already been said.

1.) To get old tile adhesive off the back of tiles that you wish to reuse, then soak them for 2-3 days totally submerged in water. This leads to the second point.

2.) Make sure that any bathroom is well ventilated, as if moisture has no where to go then it will travel through the grout lines. When buying grout and adhesive people make the mistake of buying "water resistant products" rather than "water proof". 90% of grouts and adhesives are water resistant - what this essentially means is that water won't damage or breakdown the grout but will travel through it!!! Thus as in this case can damage the sub surface... the other option of course is to use a tanking kit for the parts of the bathroom that are subject to a lot of water impact such as in a shower.

Hey computerwolf I read recently that Topps Tiles have bought both the naming rights and stocks of the Pilkington's 6x6 inch ranges. Hope this helps if you are still looking.

Its probably way too late now but this tile was imported by Distribution Supplies Ltd of Peterborough - I no I am not affiliated with them in any way but have been working in tile supply for many years.

This is an absolute long shot but Guocera brand I seem to recall is Mylaisian - some Guocera product was sold and rebranded by Pilkington's Tiles who as you probably know were a large manufacturer/importer until about 12 months ago when they went bust! Topps Tiles have bought the "brand" Pilkington's and some of their old stocks. So you could try a Topps store.

After this you could try Distribution Supplies Ltd of Peterborough - I seem to recall that they dealt with this manufacturer at some point too.

Also once you know the manufacturer of any tile, it is worth looking on the tile associations website www.tiles.org.uk they have a directory of which brands their members sell. I haven't looked on there for you in this case but another option.

Without being funny this should be a lesson to anyone buying from DIY stores, they tend to buy a factories full production of any given tile but once its gone its gone. With your independent or specialist stores there is much more continuity of product and the prices are often just as affordable.

Should anyone need any further help by all means post a message here on the forum for me.
