What is tile wastage and do I need to add it?
In your basket, you might wonder what the option to add on 10% wastage is for. This is an industry-standard allowance, which means you have a few extra tiles that you might need for any cuts, accidental breakages and spares. Having a few tiles leftover is always good in case you want to replace a pipe or extend, and while many of our bestselling tiles have been with us for decades, very occasionally a tile is discontinued, so you may struggle to buy any more.
Top tip – If you’re tiling a bathroom or kitchen with lots of boxes to hide pipework, feature alcoves, etc, or tiling in a herringbone pattern, then 15% is a sensible allowance.
Is there anything else I need to do?
Once you’ve added wastage, simply complete the rest of the steps to order your tiles.
What do I do if I have tiles left over?
If you have a few tiles left overat the end of the project, then don’t panic. As we’ve mentioned, it’s always useful to have a few spares in case you need them in the future. Another option is to recycle them into something new, such as a placemat, plant stand or a bigger project. If you have drastically over-ordered, we do accept returns if they are in a resaleable condition (including packaging) and you let us know as soon as possible, but we do not cover the delivery cost for this.
