Tile Deals & Offers

Are they driving you mad? 8)

Retailers are selling them all off before the legislation changes at the end of the year, where only left handed drills can be sold- possibly one of the last EU rules before the country really falls off the edge of a cliff ;)

What’s with all the drill deals recently?

Same hammer drill under a different name (the cheap Chinese ones all come from the same factory) is available at homebase for £10

Ha, only read half of it.

It's not hard to change the battery on the normal tile, I've even put a bigger capacity battery in mine...

Yes, you can. Tile relies not only on your own but also other Tile users’ phones to update locations. So how reliable the tracking is will depend on whether the car passes other Tile users. In a large city, the likelihood is good that you could track quite well, but in low density areas with fewer users around, obviously it’ll be less likely

Tell your 'friend' that no.....they have to be linked by Bluetooth to your phone. They are not GPS units....ituses the GPS on your phone.

Heat added i use these on keys and the Slim will be great to have a couple for my wallet and purse! It is a shame you can’t swap the batteries out and often buying new is cheaper than getting the special offers for trading them in for replacements.

I was given some of these for Christmas. They have saved me loads of time and stress when I’ve lost or mislaid my keys or airPods

3 s ago There is no monthly subscription. The tile comes in a box with packing printed labels and tape not to mention staff to actually pack and post. So £5.99 isn’t as far fetched as Lollypoplee thinks. If I was posting it it would £2.95 then everything on top. Tiles are great image is sharp and much better than one we have that was bought at a shop for £10.99 The fact that it’s guaranteed for life is worth the postage alone.

In my opinion it’s a great tile I have 4 now and they cost me 5.99 if I buy one for p&p or £8+p&p for 2 and they are decent they aren’t monthly subscription you buy when you want no strings attached

Find it cheaper somewhere please. Cheapest I could find was £4.50 for canvas then started at £5 for delivery for first item. Photobox for example start at 8.95 for that canvas then tenner for delivery. 6 quid is starting to look pretty good.

Like its really gonna cost £5.99 to post and packed that ! I hate it when a company tries to treat me like im thick. More like £2 P&P and £3.99 for a cheap tile, with a monthly subscription !

Not really sure what this is , it's not a ceramic tile, its like an 8"x8" plastic tile similar to a canvas box frame?

I've got these tiles in my kitchen and bathroom. They look really good if done well. I had a builder do them who was a bit of a cowboy but they still look really nice. It's not the best image but that's how ours look.

Thanks to the OP. Just picked up 5 packs to use on the walls to finished off our new kitchen. I like the look of the demonstration images as they've not used spacers so there's no grout lines between the tiles. Has anyone ever tiles without using spaces? I was told you should always use spacers between tiles otherwise the adhesive wouldnt set correctly.

Plenty of Youtube videos showing you how to tile and these are generally great to tile with, unlike the large format tiles. I'm not a professional tiler or skilled tradesman, so if i can manage it, then anyone can. I'd recommend you temporarily remove the toilet and basin so you can tile under them, rather than around them. This will give a much neater/profession look. Also, unless you have a concrete subfloor, you will need to overboard with marine plywood or better one of the tiling backerboards. You'll also need the correct adhesive based on your subfloor. Any decent tiling shop will point you in the right direction of what to go for.

Porcelain tiles are hard wearing but difficult to cut, couldn’t use a regular tile cutter had to use an angle grinder with a Marcrist tile blade to get through them and found they couldn’t be filed down with a regular tile file so again had to use an angle grinder

How easy would these be to fit into a small downstairs cloakroom? I’ve never tiles before so quite fancied giving it a go. We have flat flat concrete floors. Only a toilet and pedestal to tile around

Trackr are absolutely abysmal. Have tried and tried with them and spent loads but they don’t work. Batteries die without telling you and the app doesn’t run prooperly in the background. Mine currently tells me my wallet is located 60 miles away in a location I have not been for weeks even thought the app was connected to it yesterday. Please please please, nobody buy a Trackr

Got my wife a Tile Mate as a Secret Santa last year. Really good. Opted for this rather than a TrackR (which has replaceable battery) because of better reviews. For this one however, having a replaceable battery would most likely result in thicker device...

Its good, the app is good which makes/breaks the product. I have one as a gift, however no replaceable batteries... I wouldn't be buying anymore personally because of the non replaceable battery. Edit: I suppose it is like a fire alarm I guess, with replaceable batteries the reliability may not be as high? Though I still prefer renewable route...

I got one of these free from a work event and its really good

yes it does rely on others - the thing I like about the tile is that the battery will last for the year. The app has a map which shows the tiles location and the tile app needs to be running. I don't know about mobile gps sorry.

thanks, so it relies on a fair bit of market penetration in this scenario. Does mobile GPS always need to be one tho? I'm also thinking it could be good use for a small child when going out and about. Slip it into a pocket or somewhere they won't fidget. I know you can get the GSM watches/lockets etc but this might be better

All tiles link so you don't actually have to be near your tile to find it - someone else tile can send the info of its whereabouts. I got a message saying my tile had helped to locate another tile, so the more tiles out there the more effective they are.

Aye, have read hackaday! Quite looking forward to getting a flat battery ;-)

You can open them up with a sharp knife and replace the button battery... Don't expect it to look pretty though clicking back together.. Use a bit of glue.

Let's hope not. On my defence both house and car keys were in same key-ring :D

Think I'll keep my £26 and just carry on putting my keys and wallet in the same place everytime at home......

You lost your car then lost your house keys? Could be dementia matey.

2 years seems good value for money. Now that I have a two pack.. Not sure if it's thin enough for use insidethe wallet. Otherwise I'll keep it as replacement after two years...

The 4 pack combo works out even cheaper choosing the option from the same link.

Thank you, that solved that mystery then

Just confirmed with Amazon this 'deal' made use of the £10 promotional credit that was given for buying an £80 gift card. I cancelled mine before dispatch so got the £10 back. But beware if you return the item after receiving it then you won't get the £10 promo credit back. The customer service agent lied to me and told me you don't get the credit back if you cancel but based on clause 14 & 15 of their terms & conditions for promos it says otherwise. To prove them wrong I cancelled the order and my £10 promo credit was re-applied to my account automatically.

Same happened to me a few hours ago on the 4x combo. Paid 39 instead of 49

Not working for me

I’m pretty sure these were on a timed amazon deal which expired a couple of hours ago so maybe that’s why?

It's a brand new game, has put it on sale to start. Not a bad puzzle game.

100 downloads (annoyed)

+1

Great deal, heat from me, although I'll pass on this one as it will drive me nuts. (cheeky)

Not sure why, but I suddenly fancy a pizza.

Thanks for taking the time to share @mareksum :)

Thanks. I might get some :-)

I'm planning on using a grey flexible adhesive & grout to fit them in my downstairs toilet. Could probably use no-nails to stick them to the wall then once cured grout as normal. It says they're suitable for fitting in bathroom & kitchen so I don't see why not. You could even sand them & apply a stain/sealer if you wanted a different colour. I had been looking at these for some time & decided to pull the trigger on them today. I was surprised when I seen they had reduced them to half price, surely a sign from the gods.

Interesting. Would you use normal grout to put these onto the wall? I am looking to improve my kitchen. I got some of those stick on tiles today from poundworld today in the closing down sale for 50p a tile, but would be interested in these bamboo tiles.

£4/m² ? Very good price I think.

Yes I read this too. It's meant to be a CR2 battery, they state this on the listing, I don't know why they would if it wasn't accessible. The data sharing thing puts me off, I know it needs access to some data but I have limits!

Well as they were on offer on prime day I did (y) And the batteries are replaceable With alittle technical know how Just you tube it And they do a recycling service if your not

Great, so these end up in landfill and you gotta buy it again. What fool would buy this?

No

How careless/forgetful are you? (shock)

bought 8 bags of the manure last night for £13.50 to mix in with the clay soil i have in my garden, in the hope of making it a bit more diggable. thanks for the heads up!

Quite the sh*t deal.

Otley Run

if it smells like sh.. looks like sh.. but costs more then sh.. its sh.. and this stuff will make u gag (lol) (lol) (lol)

Does the Otley run still pass through Headingley? Best years of my life living near the stadium. I definitely want to visit one day to see how much it’s changed.

Bought, thanks. Lowest it's been is £45 but for £1.50 more I'm in!

Good spot, thanks. Nice present for the wife. :D

thx op i nearly placed the order yesterday for the lower model on here glad i never now

Thanks, was hoping for the WV2 to drop but this works out better.

Just clicked this and oddley the advert for it came on the radio (highfive) They're watching
