DIY mom - Old bathroom tiles renewed - by @altacbotha

Our house was built in the 1990's which isn't too long ago, but there was a certain style tiles in the bathrooms with different colors and tile combinations that really didn't age well. Lucky for us our bathroom tiles were a natural color. I have seen blue, green and even purple with a matching toilet and basin! We have decided to re-do the bathroom ourselves with a low budget. Instead of re-tiling we have decided to paint the tiles.

Before:

Step 1:

Clean the surface with soap and water. Use a tile primer from your local hardware store and paint 2 coats to make sure that you have not missed a spot. Without this the new paint won't stick to the tiles.

Choose any enamel color at your local paint shop. Paint 2 coats. We first made a mistake by choosing a dark grey color. Rather choose a color that compliments your basin and toilet instead. Also keep in mind that a lighter color will make the bathroom look brighter and bigger.

After:

I will do a separate article on the screed-flooring in the picture above.

Happy painting!
