I have tried all the suggestions Perini - didn't look purple in real life. Tile Boutique - no purple floor tiles at all. All all the lots and lots of other places = no purple floor tiles. Yes I have seen purple glass mosaics almost everywhere but I don't want small mosaics on the floor. Will also cost $55 sqm more to have grouted than a regular size floor tile. Looks like I'll just have to do boring grey as it's the trend but I have at least found one with sparkles if I can't have purple. I'm also amazed at reactions of the tile sales people - questioning, surprise, snobbery and happiness to be trying to look for something that is different. Cant' say I can't find purple, I have but with a 10 to 14 week wait to be ordered from O/S and lots of $$$ but I need to reno the bathroom by then so can't wait. Motto: If you have time and money can do anything.

Thank you Monty. The tiles I have are actually across multiple areas aside from the kitchen, so am erring on not going with another set. Additionally the current tiles are the right style for the house and kitchen options I'm going with. A conundrum, but will continue scouring the options. Cheers

Hi Pam, I have regrouted shower recess in the past. It was quite easy to get the fretting grout out using a grout removing tool from Bunnings etc. made the job easy. A bit harder on any grout that is good but a mainly scoured that rather than complete removal. The regrouting I found a physically hard the not technically difficult. It made a huge difference, freshened up the look. Once dry, I think I left it for a week (to be sure to be sure). Then scrubbed the tiles clean and gleaming. Then had the whole thing professionally re sealed - he put in a bead of something around the shower base to really make sure it was water tight, then did the sealant. It then sparkled and was easy to clean. At the same time we put in new taps, changed the glass and put in a new vanity and cistern on the toilet. The whole job was under $2000 (including trades plumber and glas installer ) but the difference it made I think was worth it. Our house had been on the market close on three years. The next buyer through after completion bought it. Who knows but it did make a huge difference and I was even a bit sad to leave it. I don't know what I didn't do it for myself years before

You're welcome Jen. I think it was $70 shipping Australia wide. All feature herringbone tiles I'd looked at were so expensive and I found theirs for 65/ metre. I ordered extra and I'll use them for the Landry too.
