It’s hard to make tiles sound sexy. Even the word "tile" feels unglamorous - like something you grudgingly buy after realising your carpet hasn’t survived the dog. But, eventually, most adults land here: deciding, mid-renovation, how to cover 24 square metres of bathroom floor in something that won’t chip, curl, or look obsolete in three years. That’s where Total Tiles fits in - a tribal landmark on the long march of home improvement. You won’t find artisan encaustics imported from Andalusia or overly poetic descriptions involving "journeys of self-actualisation through ceramics." What you will find is a tile website that genuinely seems to get the assignment: decent products, inoffensive design, delivered fast - with a code or two to make the price palatable.
Total Tiles doesn’t pretend to be a boutique operation. It’s warehouse-forward in both design and delivery. Browsing the site feels like being left alone to walk back and forth in a B&Q tile aisle - only with free samples, faster shipping, and less fluorescent lighting.
The real draw here is the combination of bulk pricing and design that doesn’t scream "landlord beige." A clean white metro tile - the cockroach of contemporary design in all the best ways - can start at around £10 per square meter. These are the sorts of tiles that won't wow your in-laws, but they also won't be the topic of mocking group chats. And thanks to the inclusion of VAT in listed prices, what you see is what you pay (a small miracle in DIY retail land).
Free cut samples are available across the board and usually ship next day, free of charge. This is more useful than it sounds. Some tile websites will charge for samples, ship them in pieces the size of a postage stamp, then cheerfully follow up with a coupon you can’t use unless you buy 15m² of something you no longer want.
Total Tiles’ approach - actual samples, of usable size, showing real colour and texture, that arrive quickly - is comfortingly practical. There’s also a phone number you can call to ask about next-day delivery. A real person picking up the phone in 2025? Wild. If you do order, standard delivery is usually prompt and unremarkable, which in logistics might be the highest compliment. Orders placed before 3pm often turn up the next day, as promised - and reportedly without the courier hurling fragile ceramic through your hedge.
Beyond the expected - porcelain, ceramic, marble-effect - Total Tiles also nudges into more enthusiastic territory with underfloor heating kits and adhesive bundles. Now, if you’ve ever tried to buy underfloor heating online, you’ll be familiar with the general vibe: mysterious wattages, questionable bundle "savings," and a lingering concern that you’ll melt your floor. With Total Tiles, the available options are surprisingly reasonable and clearly packaged. Kits start at around £50–£60, and everything’s labelled with enough clarity that you don’t have to guess whether your subfloor will burst into flames.
Still, underfloor heating is one of those upgrades that sounds better when your feet are cold than it does when your electricity bill arrives. Installation ranges from straightforward to "complex enough to blame delays on your brother-in-law for the rest of time." But if you’re already retiling, it’s not the worst moment to think about it. Just be realistic.
The site’s "Inspire Me" section is more practical than aspirational. You’ll see clean photography from regular homes, not possibly-rented show flats in Shoreditch. Nobody’s trying to convince you that pairing concrete-effect floor tiles with a velvet sofa will unlock your inner Parisian. And while Total Tiles' voice stays neutral - there's no design manifesto, and mercifully no use of the word "bespoke" - it quietly does a lot to make mid-budget interiors look more expensive than they are.
The filtering tools are robust: shop by room, colour palette, or price per square metre. Try floor tiles from around £12/m², or spend upwards of £25/m² for higher-quality finishes that actually feel different underfoot (a concession to bare toes and gravity).
Occasional sitewide offers and pallet deals nudge the math into "genuinely solid deal" territory - especially if you’re tiling a larger area. Vouchers rotate seasonally, and deals tend to be functional rather than gimmicky. You might save 10% off if ordering over a certain value, or find a pallet discount on a popular tile range. Not massive, but enough to cover an extra bag of grout or a bottle of wine to celebrate being done with tiling at all.
Returns and refunds are straightforward, though like any building material, you’ll need to double check quantities and minimise over-ordering. Tiles are heavy, expensive to ship back, and prone to damage in reverse transit. Still, you’re allowed to make mistakes. Just not too many.
Total Tiles is unlikely to win any design awards for web aesthetics or brand mystique. But it’s not trying to. It wants to get you from "we should really fix this" to "done" with the fewest possible regrets. There are deals to be had, free samples that arrive without drama, and enough product data to keep you from accidentally ordering wall-only tiles for a floor that’s going to see boots and dog claws.
Tile shopping, as it turns out, doesn’t have to be painful. It won’t be glamorous. But it can be efficient, honest, and - if all goes well - something you don’t have to think about again for a very long time. Which might be the best kind of luxury.
