Painting bathroom shower floor tiles

[mommybear1]

Has anyone done this? Any hints or tips? Ours has only been down 3 years but as they are black they are showing a lot of limescale and white marks despite regular cleaning 🧼. I'm looking at painting them to see if it revives them I've seen Stacey Solomon paint hers black and they looked great BUT that was on the magic world of Instagram 🤣.

I once painted the wall tiles in the bathroom - they looked crap and peeled off within months!

@Soontobe60 ooooooo I knew it seemed to good to be true! Thank you

If you read up on tile paint it does say that it should be used for areas that don't get too wet. I wanted to do this around my shower, but realised it won't work.

I've painted my bathroom floor and it looked good for about 3 days

@LadyDanburysHat thank you. Yes I had read that but then found one that seemed to suggest it would be fine for wet areas - I'm highly skeptical 🤔 however.

@StarfishDish thank you. Yep I think this is a dead duck idea 🦆🤣. I'd be very unhappy if it only lasted 3 days I imagine the prep time and actual painting time would take longer! Time to look at other options 😩.

I put laminate floor tiles down in my bathroom and rued the day I ever did when I was left trying to remove the sticky adhesive residue left behind when I decided I no longer liked them.
Cue then painting the floor tiles...not an easy job and I could not walk on the floor for 24 hrs and then it took three coats. A few days ago I noticed a patch starting to peel! My advice is do not waste your time even thinking about it.

@mommybear1 Just seen its actual tiles!! I painted lino Apologies 🤣

@StarfishDish ah ha! However given the feedback I'm not sure this is an option for me - pic of the offending tile section for anyone's input to get them lovely and shiny again . They are textured which I don't think has helped the problem! Please excuse DS' toys 🤣.

@mommybear1 Is the grout meant to be white or black? We have white grout but a problem with black mould (very inconsiderate of it not to co-ordinate itself with my white grout!! ) and the HG mould spray brings it up a treat! Literally spray it, leave it and shower off

@StarfishDish yes the original grout was white but I'm unsure what colour to describe it now tbh . I've not tried the HG I will investigate 😉. One of the lovely white patches you can see is from Kilnrock mould spray took the mould away brilliantly.... it just left its own marks 🙄. If only we could get this mould issues to colour coordinate with our grout the issues would be far less 🤣.
