The best vinyl tiles, compared.
Top pick: FloorPops Daphne, pink floral – Highest listing-data score in this set (65): 4.6 from 595 reviews and a stated 10 square feet. Thickness is not printed. Best value: DIY Doctor dark wood planks – Lowest printed price per square metre here, about £9.96 on a stated 5.02 m². Only 12 reviews, so the score stays at 43. Updated 16.10.2026.
Vinyl tiles in a UK search are not one product. Thin peel-and-stick tiles and planks are a skin for a floor that is already flat, clean and dry. Classified luxury vinyl tile, with a printed wear layer and an ISO 10874 use class, is a different floor and a different price band. The seven amazon.co.uk packs here are all peel-and-stick. None of them prints a wear layer, a use class, a pendulum value or a fire class. A bathroom sentence in a bullet describes the vinyl surface. It is not a wet-room specification and it is not a slip test. You separate the packs by stated thickness, stated coverage, pattern, and price per square metre only where the listing prints an area. The [vinyl tiles buying guide](/hub/flooring/vinyl-tiles/sub/vinyl-tiles-buying-guide) explains the blank fields. A vinyl tile is a peel-and-stick square or plank. A matching wood or marble picture does not make them the same product.

Question 1 of 2
What are you covering?
The FloorPops Daphne carton is ten 12 × 12 inch floral squares, stated to cover 10 square feet, at £14.00. amazon.co.uk lists 4.6 from 595 reviews, the highest average in this set, which is why it is the top pick on listing data. Reviewers describe bathroom, hallway, laundry, and en-suite floors, and several say the adhesive held once the tile was down and could still be shifted while you positioned it. One buyer laid them over vinyl that was already stuck, and one says they are not slippery when wet. A separate thickness is not printed, so that average is not a wear-layer result. Other reviews report edges lifting in a bathroom, and ten tiles do not cover much of a room. The reusability field says reusable while the materials line says permanent adhesive, so those two lines do not agree.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small patterned floor, such as a cloakroom or a short hall, when you buy the extra cartons together and can accept a blank thickness.
Less suitable: A kitchen you expect to keep for years, or any job that needs a printed wear layer.
Specifications
Common questions
Are these bathroom tiles?
The page asks whether they can be used in a bathroom. The bullets do not name a bathroom. The listing says indoor, water resistant, and waterproof, and it does not print a slip value. Some reviews describe bathroom and en-suite use; others report lifting in a bathroom.
How much does one carton cover?
The title and a bullet say 10 tiles and 10 square feet. A separate thickness is not printed. The shelf price in the file is £14.00.
The CYEER grey marble pack is 40 squares of about 30 × 30 cm at a stated 1.3 mm, priced at £29.37. amazon.co.uk lists 4.4 from 150 reviews. The backing field says vinyl, which is a cleaner line than the black listing’s foam or fabric field, and coverage in square metres is still not printed. Reviewers laid them over old kitchen lino and on bathroom floors, some finishing a first attempt in about an hour, cutting with scissors or a Stanley knife. Some needed no extra adhesive after washing and hoovering, and one pack covered a small bathroom. Many others still bought carpet spray glue because of what they had read. Boxes arrive damaged: one buyer found 32 of 40 tiles marked at a corner, and shade differs between boxes. A review says they are slippery under small mats, and that nails in the subfloor show through.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small bathroom or kitchen when 40 tiles of about 30 cm are enough and you check the box for broken corners before you peel anything.
Less suitable: A floor with proud nails, or a job where you need the seller to have printed the square metres.
Specifications
Common questions
Can these go in a bathroom?
The title names bathroom, kitchen, and living room. Waterproof is a seller sentence. No slip value is printed. One review says they can be slippery under small mats and that nails in the subfloor show through.
How does this pack differ from the black CYEER listing?
This file is the grey variant: 40 tiles, about 30 × 30 cm, stated 1.3 mm, £29.37. The backing-type field says vinyl. The black listing’s backing field says foam/fabric. Coverage in square metres is not printed here either.
The DIY Doctor dark wood pack is 36 planks of 91.5 × 15.2 cm, stated to cover 5.02 m², at £49.99. That is about £9.96 per square metre on the printed area, the lowest rate in this set where the area is actually printed, which is why it is the best value on price per square metre. amazon.co.uk lists 4.4 from 12 reviews, so that average sits on a thin file and the score stays low. Reviewers call them easy to cut with scissors, including an en-suite on plywood and a shed, and one buyer says they stuck firmly with no extra adhesive and no edge lift. Another says the self-adhesive failed on laminate and they bought a separate vinyl adhesive. The colour does not match the photographs for at least one buyer, who says a sample first avoided the wrong shade. Thickness is not printed, and the listing asks about high traffic and adhesive life without giving a number. The box weighs 20.5 kg, which tells you about handling, not about a wear layer.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A dark wood cover of about 5 m² when the floor is already flat and clean, and you can live with a 12-review file.
Less suitable: Laminate that already refused the backing, or a choice you want confirmed by hundreds of UK reviews.
Specifications
Common questions
Will these planks suit a kitchen or bathroom?
The bullets say they lay over existing kitchen, bathroom, and hallway floors, and they call the vinyl waterproof and wear resistant. No wear-layer thickness, slip value, or fire class is printed. The listing asks about uneven floors, high traffic, and adhesive life, and it does not give numbers for those.
How much floor is in the box?
Thirty-six planks of 91.5 × 15.2 cm, stated coverage 5.02 m², at £49.99. That is about £9.96 per square metre on the printed area. Thickness is not printed. The bullets say no glue, grout, or tools are included, and that you cut with a sharp craft knife.
The CYEER black marble pack is 40 squares of about 30 × 30 cm, stated at 1.3 mm, priced at £29.99. amazon.co.uk lists 4.3 from 97 reviews. Coverage in square metres is not printed, and multiplying 40 faces of 30 cm by 30 cm to 3.6 m² is arithmetic, not a figure the listing states. Buyers who got a bond describe a hall or a kitchen laid in about an hour, with no pattern to match, and they call the tiles sturdy. Other reviews say the adhesive was absent, spray glue did not fix a bond to tile or wood, and tiles arrived snapped or bent. Two packs had completely different finishes, and one hall that cost over £100 was called flimsy. The backing field says foam or fabric, a bullet says carpet tiles, and the title says vinyl floor tiles, while the easy-removal line is a sentence on the page, not a residue test.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A plain dark square only if you open the box, reject broken tiles, and test one tile on your actual floor before you commit the rest.
Less suitable: A hall where the first tile will not bond, or a buyer who needs one consistent finish across two packs.
Specifications
Common questions
Can these go in a bathroom?
Bullets name bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, bedrooms, living rooms, apartments, and commercial spaces. Waterproof is a seller sentence. No slip value and no fire class are printed. A bullet says flame-retardant.
How many tiles are in the pack, and will they come off?
Forty tiles, about 30 × 30 cm and 1.3 mm. Coverage in square metres is not printed. The seller claims easy removal without residue. Reviews also describe tiles that would not bond.
The FloorPops Medina pack is ten 12 × 12 inch grey paisley squares at £13.00. amazon.co.uk lists 4.2 from 7,023 reviews, by far the largest file in this set. Reviewers describe hallway and bathroom floors looking brighter, and some report a strong stick after cleaning, including a guest bathroom and a mobile home used as a let. Cutting with scissors or a Stanley knife, including around a sink, comes up often. The same file also describes weak adhesive, so people added spray adhesive, tape, or glue, and corners lift unless the floor is spotless. Pattern match fails from tile to tile, and a second box can be a different shade even when batch numbers match. Coverage in square metres is not printed, and the 0.06 in bullet does not match the other dimension lines on the page. Reviewers also call the tiles slippery.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A small decorative floor when you want the deepest UK review file in this set and you can buy every box in one order.
Less suitable: A job that needs a printed coverage figure, or a floor where a mismatched paisley repeat would show.
Specifications
Common questions
Can these tiles be used in a bathroom?
The listing asks that question and does not answer it in the specification. It says indoor, water resistant, and waterproof. No slip test is printed. Reviews mention hallway and bathroom floors, and some call the tiles slippery.
How thick are they, and how much floor do they cover?
The size field says 12 × 12 inches and the pack is 10 tiles. A bullet gives depth as 0.06 in. Item dimensions also print 152.4 × 61 × 0.2 cm and 77.4 × 77.4 cm. Coverage in square metres is not printed. The price in the file is £13.00.
The Elffloor black and white pack is ten 20 × 20 cm squares, stated at 0.7 mm and 0.4 m², priced at £9.99. That is about £24.98 per square metre on the printed area, the dearest rate among packs that print an area. amazon.co.uk lists 4.0 from 441 reviews. Reviewers who sorted the designs into piles first describe a sharp black and white pattern in a bathroom or kitchen, and scissors plus a hair dryer after each section helped one buyer with a slight lift. The same reviews say the tiles will not stay down without extra adhesive, the edges are wonky, and the tiles are not the same size, so a straight grid is hard to keep. A clear border shows the floor between tiles, and one review calls them a bit slippery. Ten small tiles do not cover a bathroom. Item dimensions also print 0.1 cm, which is not the same figure as the 0.7 mm bullet.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A tiny patch, such as a porch mat’s worth of floor, when you want a black and white square and you will press the joints back down.
Less suitable: A whole bathroom, because ten tiles are 0.4 m² and the metre rate is the dearest printed rate here.
Specifications
Common questions
Can they be used in a bathroom?
The title and an application bullet name bathrooms, kitchens, living rooms, bedrooms, and corridors, on a flat, clean floor. Waterproof is a seller sentence. No slip test is printed. One review calls them a bit slippery.
How much floor is in the pack?
Ten tiles of 20 × 20 cm, stated coverage 0.4 m², at £9.99. That is £24.98 per square metre on the printed area. The thickness bullet says 0.7 mm. Item dimensions also print 0.1 cm.
The Elffloor grey oak pack is ten peel-and-stick planks, 90 × 15 cm, stated at 0.5 mm and 1.35 m², priced at £18.99. That is about £14.07 per square metre on the printed area. amazon.co.uk lists 3.7 from 167 reviews, the lowest average in this set. The pack is described as a roll wrap, and reviews often say the planks arrive curled and will not stay flat. The seller says to press them under something heavy for a day, and at least one buyer found that the weighting flattened them. Others report edges lifting within days, sometimes the same night, even after extra glue. A chair wheel marked the middle of a piece within a year, colour changed between packs in an order of 20, and one reviewer received pieces of 9 × 15 cm rather than 90 × 15 cm. At 0.5 mm these are the thinnest stated floor in this set.
Pros
Cons
Best for: A short wood-effect cover, such as a cupboard or stair risers, if you can weight the roll for a day and you do not mind a thin sheet.
Less suitable: A floor that must lie flat without weighting, or a room with chair wheels.
Specifications
Common questions
Can these planks go in a bathroom?
A bullet names smooth surfaces in the kitchen, bedroom, living room, and bathroom, and calls them waterproof. No slip test, fire class, or wear layer is printed. Stated thickness is 0.5 mm.
Why might they not lie flat?
The pack is described as a roll wrap. The seller says to press them under something heavy for a day after delivery, and that a hot hair dryer can help in cold weather. Reviews often say they arrive rolled and curl.
We compared seven amazon.co.uk peel-and-stick packs from the saved listings. Products Compared did not lay these packs, measure wear, or run a pendulum test. The score uses the star average, the size of the review file, and whether coverage and a single thickness are printed. Recurring review defects are taken off. Price per square metre is outside the score. It decides the best value mark only where the listing prints an area.
Amazon stars
40%The amazon.co.uk average is multiplied by 8, so 5.0 stars is 40 points. The star line is the listing average, not a wear test.
Review file
30%The review block is 30 points at 2,000 reviews or more, 24 from 500 to 1,999, 16 from 100 to 499, 10 from 50 to 99, and 4 below 50.
Printed specification
20%Ten points if coverage is printed in square metres or square feet, and 10 points if a thickness is printed and no second thickness line contradicts it.
Recurring defects
10%This block is deduction, not extra credit. Points come off for curl, edges that lift, a bond that fails, broken tiles, shade clashes, a chair-wheel mark, and a conflicting backing line.
Start with the product family. Peel-and-stick is a DIY skin. Glue-down luxury vinyl tile and click or SPC are classified floors, and a wood-effect picture does not make them the same. Then read the stated coverage, and the price per square metre only when square metres are printed. Total thickness on these packs is not a wear layer. None of the seven prints a use class or a pendulum value. The notes below follow the amazon.co.uk listings behind this page.
A vinyl tile in this comparison is a peel-and-stick square or plank. It is a thin skin you press onto a floor that is already flat, clean and dry. It is not classified luxury vinyl tile. Glue-down LVT and click or SPC floors carry a printed wear layer and an ISO 10874 use class. A matching wood or marble picture does not make them the same product. The seven amazon.co.uk packs here are all peel-and-stick.
£9.99 can be the dearest floor per square metre. Elffloor black and white squares are a stated 0.4 m², about £24.98 per square metre. DIY Doctor is £49.99 for a stated 5.02 m², about £9.96 per square metre. Read the area before the till price.
Elffloor’s 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm, CYEER’s 1.3 mm and Medina’s 0.06 in are total thickness where a figure is printed. None of these seven prints a wear layer. Daphne and DIY Doctor print no thickness at all. A star rating does not fill that blank.
The floor has to be clean, dry and flat, because dents show through a thin skin. Reviews describe shade changes when a second box is ordered later. A waterproof bullet is not a shower specification. Call a fitter if concrete moisture is unknown, if asbestos tiles are possible, or if the room is a wet room.
Price per square metre is the fair comparison, and only when the listing prints an area. The till price on these seven packs runs from £9.99 to £49.99, which hides how little floor is in the cheap carton. Elffloor black and white squares are £9.99 for a stated 0.4 m², about £24.98 per square metre, the dearest printed rate here. DIY Doctor dark wood is £49.99 for a stated 5.02 m², about £9.96 per square metre, the lowest printed rate, which is why it is the best value.
None of these seven prints a wear layer. The thickness line, where it exists, is total thickness. Elffloor prints 0.5 mm on the grey oak planks and 0.7 mm on the 20 cm squares, and the square pack also prints 0.1 cm, which is not the same figure. CYEER prints 1.3 mm on both the black and the grey squares. Medina’s bullet says 0.06 in, and the pack dimensions also print 0.2 cm. Daphne and DIY Doctor print no thickness.
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
You want a cloakroom or a short hall covered without grout, and you can buy the extra cartons in one order. FloorPops Daphne is the top pick: a stated 10 square feet, 4.6 from 595 reviews. Thickness is not printed, and the listing says both reusable and permanent adhesive.
You have a flat, clean floor and you want the lowest printed price per square metre. DIY Doctor dark wood is the best value at about £9.96 per square metre on a stated 5.02 m². The file is 4.4 from 12 reviews, and thickness is not printed.
You want the largest amazon.co.uk review file before you commit to a small decorative square. FloorPops Medina is 4.2 from 7,023 reviews at £13.00. Coverage is not printed, shade can change between boxes, and corners lift unless the floor is spotless.
The highest listing-data score is 65, on FloorPops Daphne: ten 12 × 12 inch tiles, a stated 10 square feet, £14.00, and 4.6 from 595 reviews. That is the top pick. Thickness is not printed, the listing says both reusable and permanent adhesive, and some bathroom reviews describe edges that lift. The best value on a printed square-metre price is DIY Doctor dark wood: 36 planks, a stated 5.02 m², £49.99, about £9.96 per square metre, and 4.4 from 12 reviews. The thin review file is why its score stays at 43. Elffloor grey oak is about £14.07 per square metre and is not the value pick, because it is 3.7 stars with curl. None of these figures is a laboratory wear test.
