Painting over bathroom tiles

Post by Llm »

Hi all,

I am looking for some advice on painting over bathroom tiles.

My bathroom tiles have already been painted with what looks like a matt paint (who knows if it is actual tile paint!) and a few bits have started chipping off. I would like a quick fix, ideally by painting back over the tiles.

What would be recommended route to take? I am thinking sanding down the painted tiles to provide a surface for the new tile paint but not sure what else to do, especially with the chipped parts that will expose the original tile.

Thank you in advance!

I would never paint over tiles myself. However UHM has a video somewhere on how to. I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT... :welcomeuhm:
