Returns and variations

Tiles are made from natural and fired materials. Please read this before you order and install.

Normal variations

  • Shade, tone, texture and finish can vary between batches.
  • Size tolerances of up to ±1–2 mm are industry standard.
  • Website images are indicative — lighting, batch and screens change how a tile looks.

Before you install

  • Check the goods and confirm they suit your project before installation — installation counts as acceptance.
  • Order the right quantity, including an allowance for cuts.

Change of mind

  • Within 30 days of pickup, with your receipt or order number.
  • Full, unopened boxes only, in a condition we can resell.
  • A 20% restocking fee applies to the value returned.
  • Tiles come to us from our supplier's warehouse, so tile returns go back there: you pay the freight to the warehouse (we tell you where). Supplies (adhesive, grout, tools) can come back to our Cromwell store.

What can't be returned

  • Opened or loose boxes, cut, laid or used tiles.
  • Special orders, end-of-line and clearance stock.
  • Samples, and opened adhesive, grout or other mixed products.

Faulty or wrong goods

  • Tell us before you install. We replace or refund at no cost, including the return freight.
  • Nothing here limits your rights under the Consumer Guarantees Act 1993.

Refunds and cancellations

  • Refunds go back to the way you paid, within 10 working days of us receiving the return. The card surcharge isn't refunded.
  • Confirmed orders can't be cancelled, except where New Zealand consumer law requires.
