Discontinued tile help - B&Q Palace Travertine Dark Wall Tiles - TilersForums.com

[gb3]

Hi,

5 years ago I had my bathroom walls completely tiled with:

B&Q Palace Travertine Dark Wall Tiles 485mm X 340mm EAN: 5010921353784

The tiles are actually ceramic and appear discontinued. Any ideas how I can get hold of a couple of packs. Changing the bathroom configuration around and need about 7 tiles.

I have a couple of off cuts and B&Q appear to have used 2 different manufactures. One has "SERAMIKSAN" on the back which appears to be a Turkish company's some other tiles have a swan logo on the back - haven't been able to find any details on this one.

Any help appreciated.

Have you tried getting your local B&Q to stock search all other stores.

I've sent them an email. Awaiting reply. I had assumed as they aren't on the website any more that that would be a no go. I might pop in there tomorrow though! Thanks for the tip.

Sometimes another store might have some ... Always best to check ..

B&Q generally send back stock not sold. They're a bit like Tesco and whatnot when it comes to treatment of suppliers.

A friend sold BBQ's to them. Some came back with sausages and coal still in them. He had to refund them before they'd consider buying more. Needless to say he's no fool, billed them for them, and quit the contract.

I've changed the thread title to help. Added the tile name etc

Thanks. Went into B&Q - they confirmed the product is discontinued, did a nationwide search and had 0 stock.

Looks like I'm going to have to get creative!

Perhaps get a bit of a feature wall going on? Are they all on the same wall?
