Replacement tiles?

Not holding out much hope but just thought I'd ask in here anyway.
Is it possible to get tiles made to order if you have an original of the tile you need?
We got the bathroom tiled a few years ago and now we have a problem with a leak and we need to get a whole new bath fitted which means some of the existing tiles will be damaged.
Went to the shop we got the tiles in and they no longer have them in stock.
Are we going to have to get the whole bathroom re-tiled?

It might be possible, but I've never heard of it as a mainstream option. To minimise the scope of any re-tiling, would it be feasible to come up with some sort of effect using different tiles? On one whole wall, for example?

I doubt it very much.. All so never a good idea to tile in a bath.

Now that you.ve gotten all the nos out of the way, there are ways around it.

You are talking about the bottom row of tiles. You most likely be able to get tiles the same size if your tiles are old so it's best mot even bothering to match the grout lines. You could get a tile maybe twice the size & have it cut that one new tile is the same size as 2 old tiles with wise.
Sometimes by trying to match toe colours it can look odd. Sometimes contrasting colours work well. If white wall tiles then Black bottom row can look funky

I'm sure you'll get plenty of idead on here

i agree with last poster there are simple ways to fix your issue.
You could get a small tile 4x4 and get a cool design done over bath.
