    Hi Nial.

    I have my own ways of dealing with these budgets.I only fit tiles around the shower area and basin in the ensuite allowing me to change the color scheme.

    i find right price tiles ok for porceline.

    My final feeling on the budjet is if your money can stretch get exactly what you want... Tiles are there for a long time and bad ones show through

    sounds like a good price - i'd say right price tiles is your best bet saw a price there today for 19 a sq yard and normally the tiler will charge you about 16 a sq yard to lay it and about 10 or 12 per sq yard to lay ceramic tiles.

    Now I have a question, can you lay that plugin underfloor heating stuff in the adhesive under the tiles
