DIY bathroom disaster-wtf do we do?

[MrsBobDylan]

DH and I failed to spot our idea to spray a row of tiles in our bathroom a vivid green was a fantastically shit idea. We are idiots.

Ds12 came home from a school trip yesterday and observed that it looks like the Hulk has thrown up in there.

Everywhere has a fine mist of sickly green.

How cheaply could we get a new bathroom? It is a small room and we would be happy with just the basics.

Please be nice, I know none of this makes any sense. I promise that in the rest of our lives we are fully functioning, useful, sensible people.

Just scour it off?

I think we need a picture so we can...uh.... advise.

You can get tile paint though not sure if that's just replacing one bad idea with another one but it's a lot cheaper than a new bathroom.

Might be worth seeing if white spirit will remove it though not an expert.

Picture please?

Picture or it didn’t happen

I say lean in to it. Lots of Marvel decals everywhere. An Avengers shower curtain, bathmat, loo brush. Swap the bath, basin and loo for an avocado green suite. Lime-scented soap. Green shower gel. Green lightbulb.

What did you spray it with? If it's spray paint like vandals use is there some kind of remover?

Sorry but please post a picture, my weekend has been helping my husband get a tractor we borrowed unstuck from a massive rainy trench he "forgot" was there as we are currently landscaping. It would make me feel like I wasn't the only one.

Were you pretending you were on Changing Rooms circa 1996??? I hope you also got some MDF and knocked up a quick princess style surround for the bath, with a nice bit of stencilling on

Or you could put pot plants everywhere and pretend you were going for a jungle look. It's even apparently in fashion:

When we had our bathroom painted the decorator kindly left tiny drops of paint all over the floor tiles. It came off with nail polish remover!

Many many years ago, our first home had shocking pink tiles and woodwork, and a sage green bath suite. I painted the tiles cream with an eggshell paint, and using a natural sponge stipled a bit of toning green lightly on the top. (Sounds dreadful, I know, but at the time coloured suites were still ‘in’ and it looked 100% better than the pink!)

A paste of biological washing powder painted on and left for a day or two will fetch that paint off.

Use a Stanley scraper?

You painted it once, can you not just paint over it again? Black if needs be!!

Thank you for your kind incredulity...we can hardly believe it ourselves. We used a can of PlasticKote which can be used outside. What I can't quite get captured in the picture is the delicate shade of infected green that has turned an already disgusting floor into something a good deal worse.

DH has started trying to scrap it off. He has made me promise never to speak of the Hulk bathroom situation. I didn't mention my post on MN...

This is making me feel a whole lot better about our own DIY bathroom issues right now sorry OP. I'm not sure what to advise!

cant you just paint over it?

You can buy sheet linoleum
Quite cheaply. If you replace the floor and then sand and repaint the wall above the tiles in bright white, it is surely salvageable?

Oh I see

Wowser bowser what were you thinking 🦖

HAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA. amazing.

B&q do a really good paint remover gel. Just apply with a brush, cover with clingfilm and wipe it all off.
