About Tiles Gone Wild
Your Local Tile Showroom in Newburyport, MA
A Family-Owned Business Built on Experience
Tiles Gone Wild began in 2004 as a family-owned business with a passion for quality materials and exceptional customer service.
Chris Bates joined his father shortly after the business opened, bringing hands-on experience in tile installation, estimating, and flooring. In January 2020, Chris took over the family business, continuing its commitment to helping customers create beautiful, functional spaces that stand the test of time.
Today, Tiles Gone Wild combines years of industry knowledge with a carefully selected collection of tile, stone, glass, mosaics, and flooring products. Our team understands that choosing tile is about more than finding the right color or pattern. It’s about selecting materials that complement your space, fit your lifestyle, and bring your design vision together.
We’re proud to continue serving our local community with the personalized attention and expertise that have been part of our business from the beginning.

She sees tile as ART—not just beautiful and functional, but timeless! A graduate of Chamberlayne School of Design (Newbury Street, Boston) Lesley honed her skills teaming up with architects, builders & other trade professionals while working on historic renovations as well as new commercial & residential projects.
