I'm sure it's available cheaper elsewhere though.

Had the same problem earlier this year and sorry to say didn't solve it. Daughter in law wanted liverpool red tiles 30x10 size and red's a really difficult colour to get.
Just about every tile supplier I visited did the same, sucked their teeth and said not available. And I visited/called at least 30 suppliers in south of UK and in Germany where I work.
Apprantly red's a really hard colour to do well. Can get orange or tomato red, but not a rich red.
Ended up getting just one quote at £140 m2 10 week delivery made to order.
They all said red glass is easier. Apparantly you buy it cut to size with the socket cut outs already done but d.i.l. wasn't keen. She's still searching so if you find some good bright red tiles at a sensible price, let me know
