I am glad I did because I found some great tips. My question is. My bathroom has peach and blue tiles that extend into the shower. I was thinking about painting the outside tiles and replacing the ones inside of the shower myself.
Is this hard to do? Also, some of the grout and caulk around the tub is cracking and I am starting to see a little mold, is that a major issue? Lastly, is it better to use sticky tiles on the bathroom floor or linoleum. My floor is peach and it is driving me crazy… Help!!!!! My bathroom and kitchen, ceramics floor tiles 15 years old, and their color became dark and not shining, in some corners became black. I am not sure why, but possibly due to excessive cleaning using chemical materials like bleach.
I have rock tile surrounding the bathroom walls in the shower area. I have a painted tub, must be careful of what you use. Actually the tile goes all around the bathroom, but only the shower area needs attention. I was looking for something easy to make it look good, and if any professional does do this work. We had painters come in to caulk and clean the ceiling, but they did not do it. We are looking for the least amount of trouble making it look decent. I would like to paint my tiles in my bathroom.
But talking to paint salesman he advised me not to, as it only a short fix and will not last. I would like to know what you think. Yours, K Walters. How could I paint over them? How would it look? Could you show me a full look of a painted tile bathroom? When you paint over ceramic tile, does this make the paint easy to scratch or mark? Will the paint be durable as i am putting it on the bathroom walls only, not in the shower enclosure. Totally different question.
Considering couple option. Can you apply wall paper to bathroom tile?? Thinking of some diy home project. To Judy ham and Vonciell Cunningham: For borders and white tile, nail Polish adheres to tile design some cute little flowers or something. If you get tired of them later — nail polish remover. I have just painted all the tiles in my bathroom with Rustoleum tile transformations kit. I painted them white.
They were a greyish-blue colour. If anyone has a particular roller that does an amazing job let me know. The paint is thick and starts to dry as you paint so a very high quality roller is required, otherwise the paint will pull it apart. Throw it out when done- waste of time trying to wash it. It cant be cleaned. I let dry and went over them with another coat of rustoleum paint.
This might be from using too much paint but I did try to paint sparingly. It does still seem to slowly run a little. Not to worry. It dries hard as nails. A few days later someone accidentally scuffed the wall with the ladder quite hard but not a single mark was made. If you can spare the cost of retiling- go for it. Otherwise this is a cheaper solution.
I painted the first coat over my bathroom wall tile with epoxy yesterday. My question is: do I apply the second coat and hope for the best, or is there any way I can remove that area around the bath and start again. My google searches say epoxy is pretty much impossible to remove without a lot of mess or toxic strippers, I was wondering if I could sand over these areas to smooth them, then apply two more coats.
What would you do? I am very suspicious of the bonding primer recommended as I used that on my kitchen cabinets and the paint adhered to the bonding primer but the bonding primer DID NOT adhere to the cabinets, after much sanding and prepping so I am concerned will the bonding primer actually adhere to the tile?
Fifteen years ago we built a house and of course made some mistakes. One of those was to put the same tile around a tub and wall behind the tub as what is on the floors throughout the house. Now it looks very very dated and a tannish color that I do not like at all. It stands out like a sore thumb! I would like to either paint all that a white and the surrounding walls as well. Or should I try to take out that tile around tub and the wall instead of painting.
I want the least expensive but the most eye appealing too. And what will last for a long time. The faucets are put into this tile where a shelf surround has been built all tile. There is a shower head above on the wall.
Worst mistake we ever made but now I am a widow and do not have anyone to guide me in this endeavor. Please help! I have painted over outdated linoleum and tile and have had great success.
It is important to prep and seal in order for it to last. In our master bath I painted over country blue yikes tile and made it look like a terracotta. It was not under constant water, but worked well until we were able to replace 10 years and no peeling. I have also painted the floor in the upstairs hall bath.
So before you get your sledgehammer out and start tearing out your old tile, consider this diy job as an economical approach. Great work, Jenny! It looks like you had your own remodeling done right. Loved the initiative and creative mindset. Thanks for sharing this DIY transformation. I so want to paint the tile in our bathroom! We have a brownish tile on the floor but also the same brown tile but smaller squares on the countertop. It looks like Olive Garden!
I am tempted to use the floor tile paint for the countertop as I feel it would work better and be more durable.
Do you think that would work? You did a great job with your bathroom! Thank you for this. Thank you for sharing how easy it is! Hey Kimberly! Thanks so much for your kind words. We were in the exact same predicament! However, the tub and tile is a bit different. Since that can be applied to a tub, then I imagine it would work for flooring application. Another reason why I went with a different product was choice of color.
You are limited to the one color with the tub and tile, but have many different options for the flooring color choices. Hope that helps answer any questions you may have! And good luck with your project! Hey Carmen — thanks so much for reaching out and for your kind words on our bathroom reveal.
We tried both the wet and dry sandpaper as well as the scuff pad and found the scuff pad to be easier. You can purchase those from a paint store. Hope that helps and good luck with your project. Let me know if you have any other questions. You did an amazing job on that bathroom. My question is for the tile wall did you used the wet and dry grid?
What is the abrasive pad. How do you used and where do they sale it? Thank you for the information. Sure thing! I absolutely love your finished product — the bathroom looks fantastic!!!
Is it necessary, to use the two different products or was that just your preference? My tub area is all tile and that same tile travels throughout the entire bathroom, halfway up the walls, all the way around. My plan is to paint it one color likely white , along with my floor tile, a different color undecided shade of gray. I actually asked Rust-Oleum about this and they said that it is manufactured specifically for horizontal surfaces and would not work on wall tile.
As far as difference in texture, no, but I do see a difference in sheen. The wall tiles are much more shiny than the floors, but I also chose the matte sealant, so that plays into it as well.
Jennifer, Hi. Great project. Do you think it would be possible to just use the floor paint on all the tiled surfaces? What do you think? And are you able to see a difference in the wall and floor tiles in the look, or texture? Not on the walls, but there are a few nicks in the floor from my rowdy boys. That is seriously impressive You did a great job. There is certainly a lot to find out about this topic.
I think its must be helpful. Hi Julianne! Those are great questions! The floor does have a slight different texture.
The previous floor had a sheen and was quite slick. Does the floor have a different texture once painted? Do you think anyone would be able to tell it was painted?
Hope that helps! I have a pretty small bath so did the paint last between coats or did you need separate kits for each coat of paint? You can get it on Amazon. Love the wall color. Would you mind sharing the brand and color name? Your finished product looks fab. Many thanks! Hi Leslie — thanks for reaching out! In all seriousness, it really is holding up well and looks great!
Maybe I will do a follow up post on how everything is holding up! Bathroom looks amazing! Just wondering how the shower tiles look today? Does the rustoleum tub and tile refinishing come in different colours or do you have to get it tinted? Thanks Leslie. Hi Alex — thanks for reaching out! We used 2 kits to complete this bathroom — it was super easy and still looks great!
It has been a year and it still looks the same as it did when we first applied it! Can I ask how much of the tub and tile product you needed to do your bathroom. Mine is a similar size and want to do the walls and shower stall and just wondering how many to order. Hi Alexa — thanks for reaching out! We hope to fix it later this month and will do a follow up post to let you know! Hi, this looks so beautiful. Has it chipped on the floor or wore down at all?
Thank you!! Hi Stephanie! Hi Carla — thanks for the nice comment! I would be happy to share. The best choice is anti-bacterial, water-resistant epoxy paint. Most of the time, home kits and DIY tile paints are available in limited colours like white, grey, or black. You can also consider getting a prepackaged tile painting kit from Rust-Oleum or Homax , which includes the paint and supplies. Can you paint a bathtub? How do you paint bathroom tiles in a shower?
