IT might not be the first place you think of when it comes to flooring.
But one woman has insisted B&M is the place to go if you want to get decent quality tiles at a budget price.

“Why have I not seen one person on this app talk about B&M flooring?” Keeley said in a video on her TikTok page.
“I’m not even kidding, this stuff looks like designer flooring and it’s costing me less than a Domino’s!”
Keeley added that they had been quoted over £2,000 to have vinyl laid in their bathroom.
But when she hit B&M, she couldn’t believe when she spotted the flooring on sale – with her biggest struggle being whether she should go for the slate or greystone effect.
“I think I do have a B&M addiction at this point,” she laughed.
She was unsure whether or not she could rely on the B&M flooring in the bathroom considering how much water gets onto the floor.
As for the kitchen, Keeley is going for laminate flooring, but questioned why it’s “so expensive”.
She got what she needed from B&Q, loading it all onto a massive trolley.
But the shopping trip didn’t end too well, as they misjudged the size of Keeley’s car and had to call in backup to get it all home.
Despite Keeley’s concerns about the life capacity of B&M tiles, the comments section was quickly filled with people reassuring her that she’s got nothing to worry about.
“I have B&M flooring in my bedroom and living room and it’s such good quality and easy to put down and keep clean,” one wrote, adding that they “highly recommend”.
“I have b&m floor tiles in my kitchen,” another added.
“I’ve had them down for years now and never had a problem with them!”
“My Grampy owns a b&m,” a third said.
“He has the second one you showed and it looks lovely.”
“I had the first ones in my kitchen, the sink leaked and flooded but these tiles still stood!” someone else wrote.
How to save money at B&M
Shoppers have saved hundreds of pounds a year by using B&M’s scanner app.
The scanner lets you see if an item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop floor label.
Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift.
The app is free to download off the B&M Stores mobile app via Google Play or the Apple App Store.
According to one ex-B&M manager, you’ll want to visit your local branch at 10am on a Wednesday too.
Here’s how you can join the B&M bargain hunt:
- Download the B&M app for free on any smartphone with an App Store or Google Play.
- Once you’ve installed it on your device, click on the option labelled “more” on the bottom, right-hand side of the app home page.
- You’ll then find an option that says “barcode scanner”. Click on this and you’ll open a camera screen.
- Use the camera to hover over the barcode of the product you wish to check.
- If the price comes up as lower, take it to the cash desk and it will automatically scan at the lower price.
- You don’t need to sign up to the B&M app to use the barcode scanner.
“And taking them up eventually was SO hard! They’re solid!”
“I’ve made a tiktok doing my bathroom in this,” another commented.
“I had it in my old house too for 4 years.”
“I have this flooring in my bathroom,” someone else wrote.
“It’s been down for 12 months and 0 issues!”
“It’s in my hallway. Laid some years ago and never moved,” another added.
“My advice is make sure you stick it to something like old laminate and use more spray glue.”
While someone else called it “amazing”, another commented: “My mum got these in her bathroom and they’re still the same as the day she laid them!!
“Just seal them to make sure no water gets under them.”
