I would welcome any help or advice with regard to finding a discontinued wall tile, I need to buy some more of these. I purchased the tile(s) about 5-6 years ago from a shop here in Andover called
Rich Posted January 12, 2011 Report Posted January 12, 2011 Hiya KevinOne of the hardest things to find are discontinued tiles! Many good tilers often advise, by more than you need, and keep them somewhere really safe, as the chances are, you WILL need them only when they stop making/selling them!Sods bloomin law Best thing you can do now is go back to County Tiles and find out the manufacturer, and the exact make/style, then contact the manufacturer directly.If the manufacturer doesnt have any, ask them if they can tell you all chains those tiles were supplied to, then ring round to see if anybody has any old stock, sort of back tracking all who had any as it were...Good luck mate, do let us know how you get on

Computerwolf Posted January 29, 2011 Report Posted January 29, 2011 Like you have suggested i have also tried the manufacturer, but Pilkingtons dont make tiles any more, or at least their website doesnt indicate they do.I know the make of the tiles 6in sq Royal blue Ref: PC245 I have tried Elstow Tile Supplies but awaiting a reply. If anyone has any other discontinued tiles companies that they know of let me know, like wise i will advise if i have any success!!Thanks
tiles2u Posted April 16, 2011 Report Posted April 16, 2011 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.
