Ran out of tile! Help!

last year

Help! We ran out of this beautiful Andova tile (color: Mermaid) at the very end of this project! I got it at Lowe's and Wayfair, but appears to be sold out everywhere now. Please help me find 2 more cases! I'm hopeful someone here will have some leftovers that I can buy. Thanks in advance! 🙏😊

    Lowe's shows that it's available and can be delivered to home or store - Andova Splash tile - Mermaid. 3x12 nominal size (actual size 2.94 x 11.88) -$13.15 sf. Free shipping to store for pick up as early as Oct 24th .

    I went through the entire process of adding it to my cart + checking out - and it would have let me place the order.



    There was a tile I was looking to buy a couple years ago (Bedrosian Cloe White) that was out of stock (delayed) everywhere - including Lowe's. However, I filled out the "notify me when available" - and a couple weeks later, I received an email that it was in stock (I purchased it immediately - and it was out of stock again in about a half hour!)

    So, it may just be related to your general location - not all Lowe's have the same stock in store or available for shipping to every address or store.

    It could be that the distribution center for the Lowe's near your zip code no longer has it in stock. If that's the case, maybe we can figure something out. Let me know!

    Just because you find the "same" tile, doesn't mean it's going to match.

    Thanks! Lowe's nor I can even get the vendor on the phone. We believe they discontinued this color. We're checking local tile shops to see if they have any remaining stock. I really hope I don't have to to rip it out and start over 🫣

    Like Joe said, another lot may be an entirely different color.

    The fact that the raw edges are waving at you, and you can see through the blood on the walls says it is an immediate do over. Good thing you ran out and have to do something else, because you NEED to do something else. That's horrendous workmanship. The whole thing will leak. Red Guard is the blazing Red Flag sign of the lowest of low end installers. Redo it all.

    I know that the lot numbers will be different - however, OP is in a bind - and the tile has A LOT of variation to it. I figured ordering a few boxes (whole boxes can be returned to Lowe's without a restocking/shipping fee) that maybe it would be close enough to work. If the color is way off, the OP isn't in any worse spot than currently - with no tile to finish the back wall.


    Bree - again, if you need me to order the tile for you - we can try to figure something out. I wouldn't wait a long time to decide in case there isn't many boxes left. Also, your "message" button doesn't show on your profile page - so, I can't send you a private message. You can send me one if you want to discuss getting some boxes shipped to you.
