Is it easy to paint bathroom tills and does it look good?

Question

We have just moved house. We want to re do the bathroom completely - we are saving as what we want involves a lot of money. In the time being I thought we could paint the tiles to make it look a bit better.

They have a flower pattern all over them. Will tile paint work to cover this, will it look good? Im not concerned about it lasting ages as we are re doing it in about a year. Tile transfers etc not an option as there are loads of tiles all round the bath sink and over 2 other walls!

What brand are best, methods etc - people with expereince of doing this let me know.....

Answer 1

Doubt you will be happy with any paint over tile. Sort of a waste of money if you will be redoing it in a year. The paint will probably not last that long in a moist area.

Answer 2

I WOULDN'T RECOMMEND IT,MY FRIEND HAD IT DONE AND IT STARTED TO PEEL OFF WITH THE HEATED MIST.VERY QUICKLY......GOOD-LUCK

Answer 3

A redo is just that... do the job right in the first place and you'll be pleased longer. Remove and redo the tiles, etc.

Answer 4

Paint does NOT stick to tile well.It is usually too slick, and/or too much grime from a bath.Just clean them until you remodel

Answer 5

Any good paint store can answer your questions and have all the right materials on hand for this project. Have fun, take your time, and never work while frustrated.
