Has anyone used tile.expert website to order tiles?

[leemkule]

I'm trying to source some specific tiles from Marazzi, but it seems most UK dealers are just re-sellers that rebrand tiles under their own name from Spanish / Italian manufacturers, so it's difficult to find the tiles I'm after.

I found the Tile.Expert and can get the tiles I'm like, they have decent trustpilot reviews, but have my reservations about the website. Anyone got an experience ordering from them? It's a Maltese company that ships tiles directly from Italy where they have a warehouse, I ordered some samples and they came quickly. The price of the tiles is much cheaper than any UK stockists with similar tiles, even considering large shipping costs.

Alternative, if you have bought Marazzi tiles before, where did you source them from?

 

Thanks

Marazza are a good brand 

Rocia stock them and will bring them in direct order above 100m2

 Usually about 3-4 weeks 

Expect to pay around 30 odd For ticket prices of 50 odd

We've not bought our tiles yet but our architect says some of his other builds had floor tiles from Tile Expert and they were ok.

ah, I only need around 40m2, do you think I'll have any options with roccia or are they strictly over 100m2?

Thanks for you reply that's encouraging to hear from someone who has actually ordered from them.

I ordered Spanish tiles from Tile.Expert last year (Equipe and Mainzu). Everything was fine.

Just as an aside since you seem to know your stuff about tiles, would you go for R10 or R11 version for a wet room?

For a full wet room I would always use r11

But showers and bathrooms are fine with r10
