Painting tiles

Kezzanetty

I need to redecorate my downstairs loo.  The floor is disgusting and I’m planning on getting the sticky backed tiles but also hoping to paint the wall tiles.  They are floor to ceiling and a lovely peach colour.  Can anyone recommend and decent tile paint and are there any tips?

I have unfortunately never seen tiles painted that looked any good.

Don't do it.  I've never come across painted tiles that look any good.  We tried it many years ago in our first house and on a very tight budget.  Spent a long time making sure the tiles were spotlessly clean beforehand, did all the correct prep work.  They looked great for a few weeks, then it all started peeling off.  Waste of money in my opinion.

If you're wanting to change the look without the expense of re-tiling, could you use some of those stickers/transfers on odd tiles to brighten it up a bit?  Not ideal, admittedly, but cheap 'n' cheerful and probably better than trying to paint them.

I painted my bathroom tiles a few years ago. Looked alright at first but the paint faded quite quickly and looks pretty crap now after 4 years

I have used V33 paint a few years ago in a rental property, it comes in a 2 part form that you mix together. Looked ok, but never went back to the property to check how long it lasted. But never heard anything negative from the landlord
