A photo of the cut-price adhesive tiles, which appeared to be stocked on shelves in a light grey wood effect, a greyscale geometric patterned tile effect, and a black square tile effect, was shared on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook this week – going on to rack up over a thousand interactions and comments.
Although it was not revealed where the adhesive tiles were spotted, many still seemed eager to head to their local Home Bargains branch in the hopes of finding them anyway.
One shopper commented: “Got these down in my bathroom and used xtra spray glue – [they’ve] been down 6 months and are still as good as new.”

A description for the Stick Ease: Self-Adhesive Vinyl Floor Tiles – which come in a pack of five and measure 305 x 305 mm – on the Home Bargains website claims that they are “perfect for updating a room easily and cheaply”.
“They’re simple to cut, lay and clean and can be applied with no mess, dirt or grouting.”
Before installing, Stick Ease also recommends:
Storing the tiles at room temperature for 24 hours
Read instructions before installing
Essential to ensure surfaces are clean, dust free and even.
It’s also important not to install them over a radiated heated floor, over a floor where the temperature is excessively hot or cold, over particle board, or in rooms where moisture may be a problem.

Pep Guardiola delivers gutting news as Man City are hit with Erling Haaland injury blow
Danny Jones
Pep Guardiola has passed on some gutting fitness news for Manchester City fans as star striker Erling Haaland is confirmed to be injured for several weeks and could even miss the rest of the Premier League season.
The title might be out of reach this year, and the Champions League knockout against Real Madrid was definitely hard for Blues to take, but with Man City into the semi-finals of the FA Cup, there’s still a very strong chance they could end 2024/25 with a piece of silverware.
However, they’ll have to make it through another two massive rounds at Wembley and seemingly the remainder of the season without Haaland and his goals, as the Catalan coach revealed that the club expects him to be out injured for “six to seven weeks.”
Not exactly how City fans would have wanted to see the rest of an already frustrating season play out.
🗣️ "We don't have another player with his skills."
Relaying diagnosis from the medical team, Pep said the hope is that the big Norwegian number nine could be back for the very tail end of the campaign, but at the very least, he “will be ready for the [FIFA Club] World Cup.”
He went on to add that “these kinds of things happen” and that he feels “sorry” for all of the other injuries that have befell his squad up till now, adding that they can only hope for a speedy recovery and for him to return as soon as possible.
The 24-year-old hasn’t had too many big injury problems in his career thus far, although his longest spell on the sidelines did come at the end of 2023 when a stress fracture kept him out until the new year.
This time around, Haaland suffered an injury to his ankle during the City’s FA Cup win over Bournemouth on Sunday following a challenge from defensive midfielder Lewis Cook.
He was forced in the second half and was seen leaving the Vitality Stadium on crutches after the game.

Having led the golden boot race for a good chunk of the season – as he’s become accustomed too since he arrived in England – City‘s sub-optimal season has seen him slink into second behind high-flying Mo Salah on 27, but he still has a couple dozen goals and a trio of assists to show for it.
Speaking of Salah, the soon-to-leave ‘Egyptian King’ has been the talisman for Liverpool this season, and his contributions could see them lift the trophy in Arne Slot’s first season as early as 13 April, depending on how fellow title rivals Arsenal fare in their next two matches.
As for how City round out their domestic campaign, reclaiming the FA Cup after last year’s derby disappointment looks like the main goal.
You can watch Pep Guardiola’s press conference ahead of the game against Leicester City at 19:45pm tomorrow (Wednesday, 2 April) in full HERE.
