Rated 3 out of 5 stars

Lovely tiles but disappointing customer service with incorrect lead times displayed on their website. This led to a delay in completing our bathroom project.

A trustworthy, hard working and clean team of professionals. They did an excellent job retiling our bathroom. I’m happy to recommend them and to provide a verbal reference on 07841 602353 if required.... See more

Beautiful tiles accompanied by helpful service

I wanted some exterior tiles to complete a newly designed tropical courtyard garden. I came across the Petal design which looked perfect but I was slightly hesitant having never used encaustic tiles before. I contacted the company several times and always received a prompt and helpful reply including being sent a detailed aftercare guide. The tiles were delayed a week due to container issues. They eventually arrived carefully packaged on a pallet. They are now in situ and look fab.

I have never dealt with such a snobby…

I have never dealt with such a snobby company as this before, they would answer inquiries, I wanted to make a big purchase, they happily told me that they normally deal with people who live in Chelsea or soho not actually knowing where I lived, or bothered to find out, messed up my begrudged order deducting money then saying they hadn’t and not interested in doing anything about it, I had to get the help of my bank to get the money back!
Not helpful at all, they really talk down to you and really horrible company, likewise I took my business elsewhere to a company tiles.co.U.K. Who are really lovely and couldn’t do enough to help, I got the tiles in three days and not the five weeks these told me, no delivery cost saving me over £200,!

Dear Maxime,

Many thanks for taking time to give your feedback.

We are disappointed to hear this.

Our company sells tiles to all of the UK and around the world. Anyone can purchase, and receive tiles delivered to their address.

In your case, you have asked if we gave an NHS discount, unfortunately we don’t do NHS discounts, only to interior designers and architects.

When you purchased your tiles online, we are told you made a mistake with your CSV number so your order could not be completed. Your payment was rejected by our payment provider Stripe as was potentially fraudulant, and nothing was transferred to our payment provider or bank account. We tried everything we could and shared every solid proof to convince you that your card payment had failed and nothing transferred to our bank account. We checked three times with our IT team and our payment provider, while keeping you posted on every step, even outside of working hours. As we explained to you from the very beginning of our message traffic, your payment was pending on your bank's side, nothing transferred to our bank account and the pending amount returned to your account in less than 24 hours. It was beyond our control and it was related to your bank. We are happy to share the emails between us to evidence the efforts we went to.

In the end we are glad you are happy and sourced the tiles you like elsewhere.

Poor communication and poor customer service

Saw some kitchen tiles we really liked on their website so paid for a sample to be sent to us. Lovely sample and true to online pictures.
Went on to order the kitchen tiles and they are not the same colour. We were sent 2 different coloured tiles when on their website there's images with one colour tiles on the product page.
Poor communication, at no point did they say they were going to order 2 different coloured tiles.
The tiles took 6 weeks to arrive and were not the same colour as the sample. We understand there would be some difference in colours due to the firing process but it's clear that the sample was painted with this glaze an extra layer than the tiles we received and there's been some cost cutting involved somewhere. I don't think there is any quality control being monitored by this company.
We'd planned to match the colours of our kitchen cabinets to this. Poor customer service when we contacted them about this and the lightness of half the tiles we received all they said was 'I am sure they will look amazing'. Very helpful.

...
... added the below on after the companies response 26/5/21
Got a phone call from the company after leaving this review. Prior to writing the above review we had sent multiple emails with no avknowlegment of their faults or positive outcome. Someone very patronising over the phone offered to meet saying if the tiles we were sent were the Turquoise ones on their website they might be able to exchange. So gave no guarantee of anything but expected me to spend 3 hours travel time to hear the same bull**** to my face and fob me off again.
Their website has multiple pictures of these tiles where they are all a single colour and nowhere on the website did it state the green was actually 2 different colours. We assumed people had bought 50/50 of the green and turquoise tiles on their website in the other pictures. As above, I really think this should have been flagged at the sample stage and then again when ordering.

Hi Matina,

Many thanks for letting us know that you did not receive the tiles you expected. We are sorry to hear this.

Our green fish scale tiles always come in 2 shades. This is clearly stated on the website with photos; please check here : https://www.ottotiles.co.uk/product/fish-scale-green-ceramic-fish-scale-tile/

When we received your email that you did not like the lighter shade and wanted to check the colours you received, we accepted your request to meet you on a Sunday morning when we do not normally open. We have not heard from you again apart from this review.

On the other hand, glazing and coating are different process. Our green fish scales are glazed with lighter and darker glazes on top. Glazing with one layer will not make the tiles look lighter green. Also, double glazing will not make the colour darker.

As we have stated before, we are happy to help and supply you 2 square meters of a darker shade of green and resolve this issue.

We are awaiting for your reply.

Best

Saw a tile in a magazine on 19th April

Saw a tile in a magazine on 19th April, couldn't find it on the website. Pink hexagonal tile with white 'rays from bottom point to top two sides, sort of Deco design, or Camino de Santiago pointers . . .
Useless website.

Hi,

We have searched for your name on our system and could not see any request from you.
We are always here and happy to help.
The tile you are looking for is the lily hex pink cement tile. Its very easy to find if you choose pink tiles in the cement section on the web site.

To finish off a new kitchen.

Had a new kitchen to finish off and specifically wanted Turkish tiles. Otto Tiles were able to supply the pattern I wanted ie not too dark in this instance and 25 tiles was all that I needed to do the job. Made sure I employed a professional tiler to do the job and actually ended up with 5 spare tiles!
Have had 51 holidays in Turkey over the years including 5 in İstanbul so I am fairly familiar with Turkish tile designs and love everything Turkish. Delivery was amazing, like next day.
Am well pleased with the tiles, delivery, and installation.

Delivery could be better planned experience

The delivery could have been better prepared by the supplier. They had not told the delivery driver the weight of the tiles. When they got to us they weighted over a Ton, which meant that they could not be lifted off the truck! We eventually got it sorted but it was an unnecessary drama which could have been avoided if prepared properly.
They don't advise of the weight of the tiles in an obvious way, which they should as some bathrooms/floors/walls may not have the structure to take such big tiles. Luckily ours did but I would have thought they should provide more advice to people to check this before purchase.
The shop was closed on Saturdays, which I found to be strange give that is when most home owners can visit such places.

Many thanks for your advise! We now added our terrazzo tiles weights on the website.
We are sorry on behalf of the delivery company, they know very well the weights of the palettes as they had to load them first.
We are glad you love the products and their quality.

Ordered the Istanblue tiles

Ordered the Istanblue tiles for a bathroom makeover. They look fantastic, a lovely colour and so full of character! The builders like that they are consistent size and depth, even though they are handmade. Everyone at Otto was really helpful. Thanks so much!

Beautiful customised tiles

I had a great experience buying from Otto. They were super helpful with samples, then made me a customised size on request, all delivered in a pretty tight timeframe. And we ALWAYS get compliments about the tiles!
