Hiya Kevin

One 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 :rolleyes:

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 ;)
