How It Works

From first sketch to finished surface, your custom tiles are created in four clear steps, guided by our design team.

  1. Share Your Vision

    Tell us about your project, your space and your style. Send sketches, photos or measurements through a free design consultation.

  2. Design & Preview

    Our designers develop your pattern, colours and layout, then send a digital preview for your approval before anything is made.

  3. Handcrafted in Portugal

    Once you approve the design, our artisans shape, hand-paint and kiln-fire your tiles using traditional Portuguese techniques.

  4. Carefully Delivered

    Every tile is inspected, carefully packed and shipped to your door, wherever you are in the world.

Custom tiles FAQ

Custom Tile Questions, Answered

What to expect when you commission handmade Portuguese tiles, from the first conversation to delivery.

What can I customise on a Portuguese tile?

Almost everything: the design (your own pattern or one of ours), the size and shape, the hand-painted colour palette, the finish (gloss, matte or satin), the edge detail and the intended application, from walls and floors to interiors and covered exteriors.

How does the custom tile process work?

There are four steps. You share your vision in a free design consultation, we design your tile and send a digital preview for approval, our artisans handcraft it in Portugal, and your tiles are carefully packed and delivered to you.

Will I see my design before production starts?

Yes. Our designers send a digital preview of your pattern, colours and layout, and production begins only after you have approved it.

How much do custom tiles cost, and how long do they take?

Every commission is quoted individually, because price and timing depend on the design, size, number of colours, finish and quantity. Your designer confirms both with you before production begins.

Can you match or recreate an existing tile?

Send us photos and measurements of the tile you would like to match, and our design team will advise how closely it can be reproduced by hand. Because every tile is hand-painted, the result is a faithful interpretation rather than a factory copy.

Can custom tiles be returned?

Custom and special-order tiles are made to order for you, so they are non-returnable. That is why every design is approved as a digital preview before production. Tiles damaged in transit are replaced at no cost when reported within 7 days of delivery, with photos.

Do you work with architects and interior designers?

Yes. Architects, interior designers, developers and hospitality teams can apply to the Bassani’s Trade Program for dedicated project support, specification help, sample boxes and custom development.
