Have a leaking shower in an ensuite bathroom so looking if the existing tiles are available anywhere. Have taken some down and for a shower enclosure the preparation is appaling, no tanking or membrane used around the shower tray with tiles stuck directly to skim plaster. Was able to take some tiles off my hand once I'd cut the grout as plaster and plaster board behind was wet. Water damage to subfloor and joices underneath but that's another story.

I'd estimate tiles are no more than a couple of years old as both ensuite and main bathroom look recently refurbished. If I could find replacements for around the shower it would save having to rip everything down and start a fresh driving up costs considerably. Tiles are large format porcelain with a mosaic look in grey, measurements are an odd 775mm x 442mm or 30" 1/2 x 17" 3/8. Picture below, I have the same tiles but in a cream/brown colour in the bathroom.

Can anyone offer any suggestions. I've tried 3 tile shops in the Coolmine Industrial Estate yesterday to no avail.
