La Fabrico is Devon’s largest tile shop, located at Marsh Barton in Exeter. We stock over 4,000 tiles from the world’s leading Italian and Spanish manufacturers – Grespania Coverlam, Refin, Marazzi, Saloni, and Emil – displayed across a showroom purpose-built for the way people actually choose tiles: in real room settings, under natural light, alongside the bathroom furniture, worktops, and flooring that will surround them.
If you are looking for a tile shop in Exeter or the wider Devon area, this is where the South West’s most complete tile collection is held. We serve homeowners planning a renovation, architects and interior designers working on projects across Devon and Cornwall, and trade customers who need reliable access to quality tiles at competitive prices. Whatever you are looking for, it is either in the showroom or we can get it.
Our Showroom
Devon’s largest tile showroom
Most tile shops stock a selection. La Fabrico stocks a collection. There is a meaningful difference. Our Exeter showroom holds tiles in hundreds of formats, finishes, and materials – from small mosaic and format tiles through to Coverlam slabs up to 3.6 metres long that are simply not available anywhere else in Devon. Every tile is displayed in a real context: walls and floors dressed to give you a genuine sense of how the material will look at scale in your home, not just as a small sample on a board.
The right tile decision is one you have made with a sample in your hand, under the lighting of your actual room. We provide free samples of every tile in the showroom so you can make that decision with confidence.
Tile Brands
The tile brands we stock in Exeter
Every brand in our Exeter tile shop was chosen because it represents the best in its category – not because it was the easiest or most convenient to source. Here is what you will find on our showroom floor:
Grespania Coverlam
The world leader in large format porcelain tile. Coverlam slabs up to 3.6m x 1.2m in the widest range of stone, concrete, and wood effects available anywhere. The 20mm outdoor Coverlam range is the definitive outdoor tile – frost-proof, R11/R12 rated, UV-stable. La Fabrico is one of the only tile shops in the South West to stock Coverlam’s full range.

View Refin range →Marazzi Italian Tiles
One of the world’s oldest and most respected tile manufacturers, founded in Italy in 1935. Marazzi’s range spans floor and wall tiles in an extraordinary range of finishes – from the Grande series of ultra-large format tiles to the more tactile, characterful collections that define contemporary Italian bathroom and kitchen design.
View Marazzi range →Saloni Spanish Tiles
One of Spain’s most significant tile manufacturers, producing high-quality ceramic and porcelain tiles with a design aesthetic rooted in the warmth and character of southern European design.

Every tile type for every room
Our Exeter tile shop covers every tile type and application. Whether you are tiling a single bathroom, a full kitchen renovation, an outdoor terrace, or a large commercial project, we have the tiles and the expertise to support it:
Bathroom tiles
The bathroom is where most of our customers start, and it is where our range is deepest. Large format porcelain wall and floor tiles in stone-effect, marble-effect, concrete-effect, and plain matt and gloss finishes. Mosaic tiles for shower floors. Zellige, fluted, and handmade tiles for feature walls. Natural stone – travertine, limestone, and marble – for those who want the genuine material. Every finish is available in a floor-safe, R10-rated version for bathroom floors.
Kitchen tiles
Kitchen splashbacks, kitchen floors, and kitchen feature walls. We stock tiles that work from a worktop-height splashback behind a gas hob all the way to full floor-to-ceiling kitchen coverage. Zellige tiles for character splashbacks. Large format porcelain for kitchen floors in the PEI 4 ratings needed for heavy use. Metro tiles in the coloured glazes that give the format a contemporary relevance. And large format slabs – including Coverlam – for the seamless kitchen island worktop-to-floor transition.
Outdoor tiles
We are one of the only tile shops in Devon to stock a complete outdoor tile range, including the full Grespania Coverlam 20mm collection – the best outdoor tile available in the UK market. Frost-proof, R11/R12 rated, UV-stable, and available in formats up to 3.6 metres. We also stock outdoor tiles in natural stone, quarry, and slate for more traditional applications.
Large format tiles
La Fabrico holds one of the largest stocks of large format tiles in the South West. Tiles from 600x600mm through to the full 3.6m x 1.2m Coverlam slabs. This is a tile category where many tile shops are limited – we are not. If you are planning a bathroom with 600x1200mm tiles, an open-plan floor in 1200x1200mm format, or an interior feature wall in a large slab format, we have the stock and the expertise to support it.
Natural stone tiles
Marble, travertine, limestone, slate, and granite – we stock a range of natural stone tiles at our Exeter showroom for those who want the genuine material rather than a porcelain interpretation. Natural stone requires more care than porcelain and benefits from professional advice before purchase. Our team can advise on sealing requirements, appropriate applications, and the right stone for your specific project.
