Ok here is the problem I have ,my kitchen is being expanded by knocking down a wall which led separating the utility room from the kitchen,the problem is now there is 2 wide gaps between the floor tiles which I have not got the amount required to fill in the area.
My first question is does anyone know these tiles by name or where I can get them (see attachments)or if I take up the the row leaving a gap what could be bridged between without it looking odd.
Or do I have to bite the bullet and rip all them up and get a new floor laid (a very big area and a lot of expense DSC01200.jpg DSC01202.jpg DSC01201.jpg

So these were laid 10 years ago, might be a tough call to find replacements.

From the look of those tiles they could be circa 70s or 80s, don't think you would have much chance of matching them now sorry, but good luck.:thumbsup:

its going to look odd no matter what you do but there are a few options, you could lift the 6 tiles in the square then replace with standard white ceramics, or you could cut in a straight line of tiles and try to make a feature out of it, or you could do something with mosaics? is it a shop?

I was going to mention the rough stuff Neale, not the best, but good luck anyway. No real way to patch up without it looking tacky.

Sorry but no matter what you do to bridge the gap will look shocking , lift them up and retile, or just cover with vinyl !
