    Small ensuite with no radiator and want if possible to put a rubber type flooring down as will be warmer than exisiting tiles.
    Does anyone know where I can get either tiles or roll ideally of a textured rubber like material that can be relatively easily laid?

    Rubber is nice but actually doesn't handle water very well, it tends to get white marks from any standing water or even damp towels etc.

    Thanks for that info, I guess suggestions for a similar type of flooring would be good, am looking for something with a bit of texture and warm underfoot

    Have you tried marmoleum?

    Cork.

    Have it in the Kitchen and our en-suite and it feels brilliant under foot.

    Linoleum and vinyl (PVC) are two other options which feel warm, are water resistant, easy to clean, dead easy to lay and look good.

    B&Q do these wonderfull rubber type square tiles in loads of different designs and textures. Theyre self adhesive and all you do is peel the back off and lay it down. and they stay there for years. I know quite a few people that has them and I had installedloads of them aswell as living room types and wooden floor ones, theire warm durable easy to wash and more importantly - CHEAP. Now it isn't as easy to do a good job of it without having done it before but you can ask me for a few triks of the trade if u decide to go with it.
