Source of tile transfers online?
 
Does anyone know where I can get some tile transfers online? I've tried my
local sheds but had little range and nothing there which interests us.

Any other suggestions as to sources (even real stores as opposed to
online!).

Thanks

I've seen tile transfers a B&Q (does that count as a 'real' store?).

I classed that as my local sheds... ;) specifically, I've tried B&Q and
Homebase - but limited stock, and nothing really that we like.

Thanks

If you find a good source, I'd be interested. I have some unattractive
tiles in my kitchen, which I won't be able to replace for some time. I'm
considering using tile paint (white), and a few attractive transfers might
help to dress it up a bit.

I looked a while ago and came to the conclusion the choice is severely
limited. We bought some from B&Q a while back but there seems to be no
enthusiasm for putting them up, so I haven't yet.

Most tile specialists seem to think we should be spending the money
replacing instead of simply doing them up. In our case there is at least
one layer of older tiles underneath and all walls are tiled to the
ceiling so I am not at all keen to re tile.


Same here - the bathroom is of pretty good standard (tiles are generally
okay - possibly could do with some localised grout removal and re-grouting
due to mildew etc but that's a very small job) and is white tiles floor to
ceiling (with a line of thin sticky-out tiles going horizontal around the
room. We don't want to remove the tiles as they're generally okay, its too
big a job (floor to ceiling) and then there would be the cost of re-tiling.
Spending £20 or so on some transfers to brighten it up a little would be a
very good investment.

Why not go and look at some of the transfers and see who makes them,
then contact them direct.

Excellent! Thanks for that - it appears that some of them may be the sort
of thing we're looking for. :)

Your welcome :-)
