Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes do blue subway tiles come in?
Our blue subway tile range spans several format options to suit different design briefs. The classic 75x300mm rectangle is the most popular choice for backsplashes and feature walls, while 50x200mm gives a tighter, more vintage rhythm. We also stock 100x100mm square decor pieces in coordinating blues for those wanting a chunkier grid pattern. Each box covers between 0.495 and 0.585 square metres, so always allow roughly 10 per cent extra for cuts and breakages. Bring your bathroom dimensions to our Kramerville showroom and we will calculate your exact quantity.
Are blue subway tiles suitable for showers and wet areas?
Yes. The ceramic and porcelain blue subway tiles in this collection are fully rated for wet-area use, including shower walls, splashbacks and bath surrounds. Glossy finishes shed water more easily and are simpler to wipe down, while matte finishes provide better slip resistance if you plan to use them on a shower floor. Pair your tiles with a quality waterproofing system underneath and an appropriate grout (epoxy is best for showers). Our team can specify the full build-up so your installation lasts decades without water ingress.
How do I clean and maintain glossy blue subway tiles?
Glossy subway tiles are low-maintenance by design. A weekly wipe-down with warm water and a pH-neutral bathroom cleaner keeps them looking fresh. Avoid abrasive scourers or acidic cleaners (concentrated vinegar, bleach), which can dull the glaze over time. For limescale build-up in hard-water areas, a soft cloth with a diluted limescale remover works well, but always rinse thoroughly. The grout lines need more attention than the tiles themselves: a quarterly grout sealant top-up keeps mould and discolouration at bay.
What grout colour works best with blue subway tiles?
Grout choice dramatically changes the finished look. White or off-white grout emphasises each tile and reads classic and clean, ideal for retro-styled bathrooms. Mid-grey grout softens the contrast and is more forgiving over time as it hides everyday dirt. For a moody, contemporary look, charcoal or deep grey grout makes the blue tiles read as a continuous textured plane. Match your grout to a subtle tone within the tile body for a seamless effect. Our consultants can hold samples against your chosen tiles in the showroom.
Do you deliver tile orders across South Africa?
Yes. Bella Bathrooms & Tiles ships tile orders nationwide from our Kramerville base. Pallet deliveries to Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth and other major centres typically take three to seven working days, with smaller regional drops scheduled around courier availability. We pack tiles with protective edging and bubble film to minimise transit breakage. For trade and developer accounts we coordinate directly with site contacts. Order online or contact our showroom for a delivered quote that includes accurate quantities, edge trims and any matching decor pieces.
