Finding a Match for Old Kitchen Tiles

[bigalxyz]

Little tiling job to do, but I need to find tiles to match (as closely as possible) some existing tiles - 10cm x 10cm cream coloured, funny wavy edge, quite thick (8mm or so). On kitchen splashback. No luck so far with Topps Tiles, Tiles Direct. Where else might I look? My knowledge is limited...

Thank you.

Try all of the available local tile suppliers/eBay/gumtree etc, nowt much else you can do.

lateral thinking here
how many are you talking ??
have you looked underneath behind plinths on top and nearby cupboard for spares ??
is there a covered area [behind a new cabinet]you could de-tile for spares ??
could you introduce a line or random patern tiles to free some up ??
could you introduce a metal/wood /designer splash back behind a sink or cooker to free up tiles ??
