Custom colour tiles
Bespoke colour-matched tiles
At Marlborough Tiles, we understand how important colour is in creating beautiful interiors. Whether you're working to a specific palette or looking to echo a detail within a space, sometimes only a truly bespoke glaze will do.
Our custom colour-matching service allows you to create handmade tiles in your exact shade, developed by our team of experts in our Wiltshire workshop. From paint swatches and fabric samples to artwork or natural materials, we can match almost any reference and apply the colour to any of our artisan tile shapes and finishes.
It’s the perfect way to achieve visual harmony in your design—without compromise.
A tailored process, designed around you
Our custom glaze process is personal, precise, and led by one of the UK’s leading ceramic colour experts, Anita Rivers.
Start with your colour inspiration
Share your preferred colour reference - this might be a paint chip, a piece of fabric, a tile, or even a photograph or artwork. We'll take it from there.We develop your unique glaze
In our in-house laboratory, our colour specialist and product development manager, Anita, will create a bespoke glaze formula that captures your chosen shade. This is where science meets art - glazes can behave differently once fired, and it takes real expertise to get it just right.Receive your custom samples
Once initial glazes are created, we produce a small batch of sample tiles on your chosen biscuit shape, which are sent to you for approval. We can refine the colour further if needed.Final approval and production
When you're happy with the colour, we move into full production, handcrafting as many tiles as you need. The final glaze can be applied in your choice of finish, from high-gloss and crackle glaze to a more subtle matt finish.
