You most likely will not find the same tiles.usually the batch run out of stock and that's it.even if you do find I guarantee is not the same batch.it will look worse than you leave it so or change to feature

Colour Republic

To be fair if it is Porcelanosa they are pretty consistent between batches. Maybe not 100% but I have much more faith in their colour matches than a lot of other brands.

I had similar situation where they found same type of tiles but only from close distance. Further away it was obvious.my experience is that big percentage of this cases the batch is more than slightly unmatched

Floor or wall ?if the damage is centered or close on the wall you can do a feature by remove a section and fit mosaic or different design.sometimes can work out pretty much ok.up to your taste
It's 2 floor tiles, right next to the door. So that isn't going to work - the missus has already ruled that one out!

Sounds like you're in the dog house Adrian!
It certainly does... Thank you all for your help, it is appreciated.

I will take a look under the bath, last place to check and try a local distributor (literally in our village) of porcelanosa tiles and bathrooms to see if he has any of the older tiles left.

But again, thanks everyone!

Cheers

I know it might sound daft but nicobond do a range very similar to porcelanosa a lot cheaper so it may be worth emailing them too

just on the off chance.. have you had a look on the back of the tile for a brand / manufacturers name?
Even if it's discontinued, a google search of the brand may prove fruitful.
cheers,

Hello everyone, I am happy to say I managed to find a box of the tiles - still no idea what they are called or who makes them, but found it in the last bathroom warehouse in my local area (ironically the closet one to my front door...)

So thanks again for all of your help - it has been greatly appreciated!

Cheers
