Hey guys and girls,
Went out to a job last night. The couple have an extension that was built on their bungalow mid 80's.
Basically the job entails taking out the WC and basin and installing white fitted furniture. The shower cubicle is staying. Sooooooo i need to try and match the tiles.

I have infront of me a British candy tile 6" x 6" in what i would describe as mint green, possibly. I'll add a picture later if required.

Anyone know where i might be able to source such a tile?

Crash, bang, wallop!!

Very doubtful that you will get these now. http://tilesinyourgarage.com/index.php is always worth a try .

Could try this....lol




Time to talk them into a makeover I think mate.

Thanks guys.

Budget restricts how much they can do. They really don't want to touch the shower cubicle and that's all tiled in mint candy.

However, Prismatics gloss peppermint is an almost perfect match. They're 200mm rather than 6" but if i tile the re-vamped area as a seperate entity it won't notice.

Fingers crossed i get the job, if i do i'll post a few pictures when it's complete.

Good luck ! Candy must be the worst tiles ever made. So your prismatics might be a blessing.

I used to work For Candy (Which is now BCT)Try BCT direct as they may have some in the factory store or I would try Tile Click (Formally Candy Retails Outlets) or the only other place that I can think that you may find these tiles is Euro Cladding in Birmingham as they buy most of BCT's discontinued stocks. Good luck.
