Tile Supplier in Southampton
Ceramic and porcelain tiles exported from Morbi, India to Southampton, United Kingdom, in container quantities.
Tile exporter to Southampton.
Lumina Tile supplies ceramic and porcelain tiles to buyers in Southampton from our base in Morbi, Gujarat, the largest tile manufacturing cluster in India. Southampton is a deep-sea container port giving a genuine second entry route for the south and Midlands, and the buyers we work with there are typically importers and southern regional distributors.
Cargo for Southampton moves through Port of Southampton, direct. Sea transit runs roughly 4 to 6 weeks from Mundra, extending when vessels route via the Cape, so most buyers plan a reorder before the previous container clears. We quote on the Incoterm that suits your side, and the technical file travels with the shipment.
More than 80 per cent of tiles sold in the UK are imported and the domestic manufacturing base has largely closed, so this is a genuinely open market. Retail is unusually concentrated, which means a single buying decision can define access, with builders' merchants and independent importers as the parallel route.

Tile importer and distributor supply for Southampton
Most of our Southampton enquiries come from importers and southern regional distributors. If you are importing to stock and resell, we can hold artwork and run repeat lots so your shelf stays consistent between shipments. If you are buying against a specific project, we can produce to the drawing and grade the lot to the standard the specification asks for.
Bulk and container-load orders to Southampton
We ship full containers to Port of Southampton. A 20ft container carries roughly 1,100 to 1,400 square metres depending on size and thickness, and a 40ft roughly double that. Mixed containers across sizes, surfaces and designs are normal for us, so a first order to Southampton does not have to be a single design.

Common questions
Do you supply tiles to Southampton?
+
Yes. We export ceramic and porcelain tiles from Morbi, India to Southampton in container quantities. Cargo routes through Port of Southampton, direct, with sea transit of roughly 4 to 6 weeks from Mundra, extending when vessels route via the Cape. We work with importers and southern regional distributors and quote on the Incoterm that suits your operation.
What is the minimum order for Southampton?
+
One full container. A 20ft container holds roughly 1,100 to 1,400 square metres depending on tile thickness and size, and a 40ft holds roughly double. If you need several sizes or designs, we can mix them within one container rather than making you order a container of each.
How long does shipping to Southampton take?
+
Sea transit runs roughly 4 to 6 weeks from Mundra, extending when vessels route via the Cape, entering through Port of Southampton. Production time is separate and depends on whether the design is in stock or being run for you. We confirm both dates at the quote stage rather than after you commit.
What documentation do you provide for import into United Kingdom?
+
CE marking with a Declaration of Performance against EN 14411 remains fully accepted: the UK extended CE recognition for construction products indefinitely in 2024, with a minimum two-year notice before any change. UKCA marking is available as an alternative but is not required. Every shipment travels with the packing list, commercial invoice, certificate of origin and the full technical file, so your customs broker and your customer both have what they need.
Can you match a tile we are already selling in Southampton?
+
Usually. Send a photo and the dimensions and we will look for the closest design in the library. We hold the artwork for everything we produce, so once you have chosen a design, repeat orders match your first shipment rather than drifting shade to shade.
What sizes and finishes can you ship to Southampton?
+
The full range: 49 sizes across eight categories from 5 x 25 cm subway up to 160 x 320 cm slabs, in 15 surface finishes, 6 to 20 mm thick. Available finishes vary by size, and the size chart on this page lists which surfaces each size is produced in.
