                           Acquisition of own shares

The issuer has advised that the following amendment should have been made to the
announcement 'Transaction in own shares' released at 13:21 on Friday 7 May under
RNS number 4304Y. The correct number of Ordinary Shares in treasury at 7 May
2004 should read 2,905,095, and the correct total number of Ordinary Shares in
issue less the total number of Ordinary Shares held in treasury at 7 May 2004
should read 226,914,045. The full corrected version appears below.

The Company announces that, pursuant to its general authority granted by
shareholders of the Company on 6 January 2004 to make market purchases of its
own shares, and pursuant to certain employees of the Company exercising 10,500
options over Ordinary Shares under the Topps Tiles Plc approved and unapproved
Executive Share Option Schemes, the Company made on market purchases of 10,500
Ordinary Shares at 158 pence per Ordinary Share on 7 May 2004 (to be held as
treasury shares).

The Company now holds 2,905,095 Ordinary Shares in treasury and the total number
of Ordinary Shares in issue less the total number of Ordinary Shares held in
treasury following the purchase and non-cancellation of such Ordinary Shares is
226,914,045 Ordinary Shares. This notification is pursuant to the amendment of
the Companies Act 1985 to allow companies to buy-back and hold certain types of
their own shares 'in treasury'.
