    I'm trying to source subway style tiles but can't seem to find them in regular tile stores. Does anyone know where they are to be found?
    Thanks

    ok, i've attached a photo of a bathroom with a large subway tile, i'd be looking for that type or something similar. just enough for a small splash back, maybe about 20 or so.
    Hope the attachment works!

    This is an american company...dunno if they will ship to Ireland but seeing as your only getting 20 shipping shouldnt be that much!

    Or there is this from tubs&tiles, its not the subway 6x3 size

    Is it basically a rectanglular tile or an exact 6x3 size?

    i think we'll have to get them online, there are a few on ebay aswell. The ones in tubs'n'tiles are a bit too big, the 6x3 would be a s big as i'd want to go.
    thanks for the info

    thanks for that offer, i'll have a look in nationwide tiles this week, if they're the ones I was thinking of I'd be happy to take them off your hands. I'll PM as soon as I've checked it out.
    thanks again

    B&Q have black or white 10x20cm subway tiles. Not expensive either. We tiled our bathroom with them. They look great IMO.

    Sorry for the delay in replying, finally got out to Nationwide tiles, they are similar to what we're looking for but I think we may go with the black now.
    Going to wait till the summer to decide what we want to do with the bathroom.
    Thanks again for your help

    Black subway tiles, are you sure? I think they look very 1980's public toilet! Sorry!

    Deadly! That's exactly the look we're going for, might add a UV light to stop the cats shooting heroin behind the toilet bowl.
