Starting to tile our bathroom next week and don't know a great deal
about tiles. Our thoughts are to tile the majority with an inexpensive
6x6 white tile and get a more expensive border to add a bit of
interest.

Looking at the various standard 6x6 white tiles prices seem to vary
wildly. Box off 44 from B&Q £3.48, same tile from Focus £9.99 for 18!

What's going on here? Are the B&Q tiles that bad or the Focus tiles so
much better? I'd rather pay out for the Focus ones if the B&Q ones are
all going to shatter as soon as I get them out of the box or be
covered in imperfections.

Any guidance gratefully received.

As stated,visit a local tile warehouse,you'll be suprised how much can be
saved.

I done my bathroom at a cost of 45GBP from *tops tiles* the same tiles in
the sheds would have cost double that.
