I am looking to sell and looking to tide up some tiles in a shower cubicle (wall).

How much success has people had with V33 Tile Paint ?

tidy up?

What do you mean by this? If they are dirty, clean them instead of painting over dirt.

I have never seen tiles painted that looked good.  You might be better off just giving it all a good clean.

Tidy up as in refresh as the tiles are looking a bit dated.

Hi OP

IMHO, clean, tidy up and certainly reseal with bright, white new sealant does the trick and elbow grease on the grout.
Thanks

Don’t worry about “dated”, some people will love em. 

When we were house hunting we found a lovely house. 60’s semi with a small kitchen. We agreed it needed a rejig but we both loved the tiles and wanted to keep them if poss. 

Just give em a bladdy good clean, honestly.

I agree that a photo would be good.

I did some weird things to tiles when I moved in mid winter and was amazed that the mending is invisible.  Not my first choice of tile but they're clean and fresh a couple of years on - because there are so many more interesting things to do

About 3 yrs ago I did some repairs in a rental house, after removing the bath panel there was a tub of V33 paint underneath. same colour was the painted wall tiles.
I went back last week as the property had become void, to replace the shower valve, and I must admit the said painted tiles looked fine, no peeling.
Quite impressed, but it’s not something I would do thou. I think it’s a 2 part paint.

Have  a look at some Frenchic painted tiles, there should be loads on google images or pinterest.
