Product story
A Grounded, Refined Finish: Retro Metro South Kensington Glazed Skirting
Part of the Retro Metro collection at Hyperion Tiles, your official Fired Earth stockist.
The Retro Metro South Kensington Skirting grounds a tiled wall at its base, giving a refined, built-in finish where the wall meets the floor, its warm neutral tone suiting both bold and pared-back schemes.
Finished in the same characterful crackle glaze as the coordinating Retro Metro tiles, dados and trims, this skirting adds balance and definition and protects the lowest course of a tiled scheme.
Key Details
- Material: Glazed ceramic with a characterful crackle glaze
- Colour & Finish: South Kensington, a warm white, in a gloss crackle glaze
- Format: Skirting base tile, sold per piece
- Suitability: Internal walls — kitchens, bathrooms and feature walls
- Coordinates with: Retro Metro South Kensington field tiles, dado and trim

Samples
See the whole tile before you decide. A full-tile sample is available for this product, so you can judge the complete pattern, colour and finish in your own light.
The sample is £10.66. Sample postage from £4.99 per supplier. Eligible sample buyers receive a fixed £4.99 credit on a £50+ tile order, once per customer. This is not a refund of combined multi-supplier postage.
Use the sample option in the buying panel above to add it to your basket. Review your samples and the combined postage at checkout before paying.
Delivery
In-stock orders are dispatched within 3–5 working days, with express options available. Special-order and made-to-order ranges carry their own lead time, shown on the product page and confirmed when you order. Pallet, slab, large-format and bathware orders travel on a specialist off-load service — we confirm the timescale and book a date that suits you before dispatch.
Delivery is calculated at checkout from your order and postcode (we do not offer showroom collection) and UK delivery is free on orders over £1,000 on most ranges. For pallet deliveries please tell us about access issues in advance — low trees or bridges, narrow roads or gateways, gravel drives, or no turning or unloading space — as a re-delivery charge may apply if we cannot complete delivery.
When your order arrives
Please check your delivery as soon as it arrives. Once goods are unloaded they become the responsibility of the receiver, so if anything isn’t right, contact us within three working days and we’ll put it right quickly.
Returns
To request a return, contact Hyperion within 14 days of delivery. For eligible online consumer cancellations, you have a further 14 days after telling us to send the goods back. Contact us for the correct return address; your statutory cancellation does not depend on our authorisation.
Additional supplier returns have their own eligibility rules, charges and exclusions. These do not override statutory cancellation rights or rights for faulty goods. See our refund policy and supplier return guidance before arranging a return.
