I recently moved into a council property in Looe, Cornwall  Unfortunately, about one third of the kitchen tiles were missing. I reported this to the repairs section.

The workman who was sent to do the repair informed my housemate that he could find a good match for the missing tiles. I think this poor man must be colour blind.

This is the result.

Nice finish Got the join to match a shadow line perfectly

they match the grey worktop perfickly  and the grouting looks fine.

The new ones are white though.

whats wrong with them  they are in a line aren't they

[Kate]

I think it looks silly.

Now I don't know what colour flooring to get.

Should I get grey or white? Maybe half grey, half white?

[kevinp58]

You have darkish doors and light tiles so I would go for a light grey flooring how about grey tile effect vinyl  there are some good quality ones now that look like real tiles when down.  I fit kitchens and always try to get the customer to go for light if they have dark doors or worktops.  and visa versa

Thanks, I think you're right.

I'm going to have to tile the whole kitchen now. I can't leave it like that. It looks ridiculous.

It does look a bit naff  thought they could have atleast got some closer than those, but then again with council cuts it could have been a lot worse.

It's rented, and its tiled. Be happy.

There's no way they will re tile the rest to match, and matching old tiles is a common problem.

Tile paint? I've never seen a tile paint worth the name though. It always looks shocking.

Live with it IMO.

Two tone kitchens are the latest thing Kate!

The workmanship looks fine to me, good spacing on the tiles, neat cut work around the plugs. No poor workmanship there in my opinion 

Colour? Well yes that does not match, but as others have said it's a council property. You rent it from the council? It's their house

Good fit, nice grouting, just leave the lights off.
