Online tile shop Tiles & Pavers advertises “3 free samples with free delivery” across its site, so you can check colour, texture and finish at home without spending anything.

Browse the wall, floor and outdoor ranges, use the sample option on the product pages to add up to three samples, and check out – no charge for the samples or the postage on that first sample order.

The free delivery threshold for actual tile orders is £500, so note that the free postage applies to the sample order rather than full orders.
