Yep - there's a lot of stuff out there that is variably priced to say the least.....
Tile wise, I'm looking for large format 60x60 tiles, maybe 60 x 30, concrete like finish. warm off white colour. Bit like the wall tiles in the pic attached (though they are of course a different size).
Open to plain un-bevelled matt titles as well, as this would be cheaper still.

That looks nice, I may go muted with my next bathroom.
I'd find some local suppliers and talk to them in person (when allowed) as unless you are talking real concrete tiles porcelain is porcelain and the price differences are artificial (prob not entirely true).
Sounds odd in this one click purchase world but you can also get a discount buying in person, I wound not have been able to afford my taps at "retail" but EC1 bathrooms gave me a substantial discount without even asking, same with Bette bath.
I got thew feeling the prices you see as RRP on higher end stuff are "project" or punter prices only paid by those who are spending other peoples money or don't know any better and there are real prices you pay face to face. For instance the Bette baths are often discounted by the same amount everywhere. -
Mandarin stone have concrete effect porcelain tiles like that at 25-45 psqm. Which you could negotiate on. Ebay is also worth a look as often ppl over order and sell on there

I ended going for some very similar Topps tiles for my bathroom, half the price of Claybrook and my builder couldn’t see why they would be different prices as they were the same material.
What kind of times are you after?
