tile paint

[chazza]

Has anyone used this and was it successful?  I have just bought a new house and the bathroom tiles are horrible!

 

I cant afford to retile just yet so I was wondering if this would be a good way to fix up the bathroom?

I've only used outdoor tile paint (for front door steps etc.) but it was very good and made a real difference.

We used tile paint on the tiles in what is now Mr Spudqueens office (used to be a scullery sort of room I think). Looks much better, but there is no grout showing between the tiles (don't know how you go about that, or even if there should be any showing!).

Just done bathroom and toilet with interational one coat, used white and was quite pleased with it, as said before the grout is also white but you can't have it always. You can get different colours and then use a white grout pen. For short term it does a good job, good luck

I'm not sure if this would work in a bathroom, with all the moisture, but you can buy tile transfers in various patterns that just stick onto the old tiles.

As I said they might not work, but you might be able to get special ones for the bathroom!!

To clean the grout, use an old toothbrush and some bleach.

Works wonders!!!!!

In addition to tile paints, there is also a textured spray you can get to transform tiles.  My friend used it very successfully to update her kitchen tiles. 

You just spray it on - the finished result is as if there is sand or something through the paint, as it leaves a textured surface.  Comes in various colours and you'd probably find it in the same section as the tile paints in the DIY stores.
