Looking to remove tiles in Bathroom (need advice) - TilersForums.com

Hi all,

New tiles to be fitted are : 248x398

Jay

248x398 tile size sounds like BCT (British Ceramic Tile) - many tilers would advise against this brand due to quality issues.

They are a decent price.

Just not a decent quality . . . .

Can you recommend a place that do decent quality tiles at a reasonable price, i would not mind buying expensive tiles but this is not my home, it's council owned and i am just decorating it room by room to make it a better home.

All the best

Jay

I would always recommend that you visit your local independent tile shop - but very unlikely that you'll find anything as cheap as how much the (old) Brighton Grey is available online. My goodness - that is cheap!

One of our sponsors, Brooke Tiles, May have something, there is a link below this thread.

Can I also ask. That price is for tiling only? You need to arrange for shower out and shower in as well as sink out and in?

If you go with the Brighton tiles remember to add 30-40% more to allow for glaze faults, chipped edges and completely different sized tiles I’m talking 2-3mm.

I fit a fair few BCT tiles, they are not all bad but these ones will be.

Keep back all the bad ones and get a refund from where you buy them from.

Really it comes down to what finish you wiil be happy with. Cheap tiles, like most materials , come at a price.
