If it is travertine then I’d think you have a reasonable chance of getting matches. Some websites allow you to specify sizes and they order them direct from the quarry – this is how I did my kitchen with travertine and it was much cheaper than buying it from a major outlet.
Does the tiling extend to the 4th wall? If you’re going to refurb in the medium term, I’d take all that off, plaster it, (or get it patched, wouldn’t cost THAT much) and paint then use those to repair all needed around the bath.
I think i have a box of those tiles spare
Can you pleae measure ine and i will have a look see this afto
Marble version cresm to almost pink bit like dried plaster colour
And grout as well
I’d take down the tiles in the ‘shower’ bit, including where the shower head is. At least you create a visually understandable zone. Tank the wall as best you can.
Can’t help with the tiling, but chips to enamel baths can be fixed… muppet builders fitted new bath, tiled it in, dropped a tile etc…
We used https://www.bathrescue.co.uk/ 2 years ago, no issues since, near-impossible to spot the repair! Local to us, but must be similar firms around the country,
Thatd be amazing, I’m in clitheroe but obvs will travel.
Tiles are 398 x 246. That must be 400 x 250 standard size though
I’ve got 2 boxes of similar looking from b&q so fingers crossed. It’ll be a bodge job as I think long term I’m going tasteful wet wall, and get rid of sea of tiles underneath the sink and put some skirting there
Thanks for replies, I’m being well looked after by STW. God bless you all
It it’s travertine and you’ve grouted (or used some adhesive/grout combo) and let it dry like that on the tile then you’ve just killed a bunch more.
Looks like paperfaced gypsum backer..and tile installed with mastic. Once wet it’s f**ked and looses all strength
If you knock on each tile you’ll hear which are loose.
Imo you’ll need new backer where it’s wet before trying to retile..I’d be looking at cutting out the tile and backer for the rest of those first 4 courses…valve side as well likely as that corner will have failed and been a point of ingress. Probably wet all round your valve fixing etc too.
Fingers crossed for a close match!
Bugger my tiles are 500 x 250 so thats a non starter
Shame
Aquaboard was designed for bathroom use, proofed gypsum iirc
Could you not mosaic in a pattern instead or buy a sheet of coloured gleass, tempered and overlay with that
Wetwall advocates – any links to the nice stuff please? I like the idea but everything I’ve seen (including the stuff in my dad’s bathroom) reminds me of being in a Travelodge.
These are the ones that we generally fit for clients. Decent quality but probably still towards the more commercial end of the spectrum.
Something like the Iranian Travertine is pretty close to the look that the OP already has.

We got Fibo panels through Plumbstore. They are an interlocking laminate. You genuinely cannot see the seam at all. The finish is excellent but for anything other than a simple flat wall, I would recommend getting a very good joiner to fit. You could waste a lot of money if the finish isn’t perfect unless if you are very handy with tools.
Like you I always thought of Travel Lodge or YHA when I thought of wet wall, fortunately things have moved on a lot!
They look like Travertine stone tiles. You should be able to replace no problem if they are, just take the original to a decent tile merchant and they will match them and they can be oiled to darken if necessary.
Ayup, I finally got round to finishing the tile job today. So, for the sake of a resolving this, here is the final job. Like i said, I went for the path of least resistance. Which does nt really solve the underlying problem of the plaster which I don’t think is properly tanked. I put some waterproofing on it before adhesive but not a proper job really
All I did was go to b&q and get some similar tiles. The ones I got were not too bad, although were gloss whereas originals are Matt. Special thanks to sandboy for offering me some free tiles.anyway, thanks for any contributions and your interest
I’d be well happy with that – my DIY standards are fairly low, mind, so don’t take that as an endorsement 🙂 Looks Bob on though given what you were working with.
