Why come in for them

A tile never looks the same on a screen

Colour shifts under different light, the finish is either flat or it catches, and size is almost impossible to judge from a photograph. People who order tiles online usually find this out after the adhesive has gone down.

Come and stand a sample against the light, hold it next to the suite you’ve chosen, and take it home for a day if you want to see it in your own bathroom first.

What’s on the boards

Wall, floor, and the ones people don’t expect

Floor and wall tile sample boards in the Ringway Bathrooms tile showroom, Runcorn

Wall tiles

Gloss, matt and textured, in the sizes that actually suit a British bathroom rather than a showroom photograph.

Floor tiles

Including patterned and encaustic-effect. Ask about slip rating before you fall for one — it matters in a wet room.

Wood-effect floor tile sample boards at Ringway Bathrooms, Runcorn

Wood and stone effect

Plank and slab formats that give you the look without the problem of putting real timber in a wet room.

Worth a look if you want a shower done quickly, or you’re tiling over something you’d rather not disturb.

ToolsCutters, trowels, floats, sponges and blades

This is the part people forget to budget for, and the part that sends a fitter out mid-job. It’s all here, and it’s open from eight.

How many do I need?

Bring the measurements and we’ll work it out

Length, width and ceiling height is enough to start with. We’ll work out the square metres, add a sensible allowance for cuts and breakages, and tell you how many boxes that is.

Buy the whole job at once

Tiles are made in batches and the shade can shift between them. Better to buy everything you need in one go than to come back for two more boxes in a month.

Patterns and diagonals eat more

A patterned or diagonal layout uses noticeably more than a straight one. Tell us what you’re planning and we’ll allow for it when we work out the boxes.

What customers say

“Absolutely fabulous service yesterday, explained the project and the two staff on helped get it organised, gave ideas and suggestions, helped choose the right materials and then popped them round in the van when we realised the boards wouldn’t fit in the car.”
