Replacement Encaustic Tiles

We stock some encaustics from the Olde English range from £5.76. Other encaustics are made to order and usually take around 6 weeks. There is a range of standard patterns available in various sizes, and these can be produced in most of the colours of the plain tiles. Reproductions of other existing encaustic tile designs can also be supplied but an additional charge will be made for producing the mould. An extra 3 weeks should be allowed for mould making.

Special order encaustics cost from around £12.00. Please send or fax a drawing of the design and size of tile you require and we will advise if a standard tile is available or if a mould fee will be required. All encaustic tiles are made to order, in any colour combination and you should allow around 6 - 10 weeks for dispatch.

Fixing Tiles

We suggest you contact a local tile fixer to undertake the repair work, although it is possible to do it yourself if you have plenty of patience and a good set of knee pads. Tiles should be fixed with a cement based floor tile adhesive and grouted with a grey floor tile grout. Any repairs needed to the floor structure or base should be carried out before any new tiles are laid.
